Care should be taken when handling and installing these products. For your safety, we recommend that hands are protected from unfinished edges and corners
Due to coppers natural softness, please be aware that the copper products may have some light scratching underneath the protective plastic covering. We cannot guarantee the copper products will be free from scratches
Storage: We recommend that the plastic coating protecting the copper must be left intact until installation is completed. The copper should always be kept flat prior to fitting and in a warm and moisture free environment
Fitting: Copper worktops should only be fitted in areas that experience normal cooking ranges of temperature and humidity. Particular care should be taken in newly built areas to ensure a stable atmosphere. All windows/doors should be in place, plasterwork fully dried and major works completed prior to installation
Cleaning and care: Chlorides such as bleach or common salt and acids of any kind can damage all grades of copper surfaces. If a spillage occurs rinse immediately and thoroughly with plenty of fresh water and then dry with a soft cloth
To maintain the best appearance of your copper worktops, only use warm water and a mild detergent ensuring that the surface is rinsed thoroughly and then dried with a soft cloth
Copper will oxidise over time and will discolour by varying degrees. Most people accept this will happen and like the different patinas that appear (ring marks discolouration etc.). You can always bring copper back to a flat finish by gently rubbing over the surface with wire wool or similar products
