Custom Copper Backsplash

A copper backsplash is fast becoming an extremely popular design element in the kitchen! A copper backsplash adds a luxurious look to a kitchen, but is versatile enough that it can fit into a modern, contemporary kitchen or an olde worlde rustic style.

Options

The copper backsplash has many options when it comes to finish, color and texture. Hammered, swirled, brushed, shiny or with a patina - there are numerous ways to make your walls stand out!

A light colored copper backsplash, hand rubbed & brushed for example, can look great in a contemporary setting. Shown below, a swirl effect gives an almost industrial look without adding yet another element of stainless steel to the kitchen.

A colored or patinated copper backsplash opens up a variety of colors and patterns. The photo top left shows our signature patina, Pompeii. The color can be also sealed to protect it against stains and discoloration.

Sealed or unsealed?

Perhaps most people are familiar with unsealed copper, which will discolor or tarnish naturally. Depending on the environment, it may turn "Penny Brown" or even have different colors throughout. Many people find that to be a very charming property, but if it's not for you it can be sealed with a lacquer or wax.

Skye's Spirit & The Metal Peddler release barred owls

Before the Pennsylvania fall weather turns wintery, two beautiful young Barred Owls were released on the grounds of The Metal Peddler after 4 months rehabilitation at Skye's Spirit Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. After a brief flight over the pond, the owls settled in the woods where we hope they will nest safely.

Care and maintenance of a lacquered patina

Care and maintenance of a lacquered patina

---

Although most of our products are sold as raw copper some have an applied patina with a high grade polyurethane clear cloat. This clear coat lacquer protects your piece from tarnishing further and from damaging the patina.
Care & maintenance is very simple and easy with this finish. Some simple dos and don'ts will protect it for many many years.

*Do dust lightly with a soft cloth only. Do not apply furniture polish!

*Do use warm soapy water on a soft cloth to remove food splashes and fingerprints. A mild detergent, such as Dawn, will be sufficient. Buff with a clean & dry soft cloth.

*Do not use abrasive scourers or sponges.

*Do not use kitchen or bathroom cleaning products, such as Mean Green, Mr Muscle etc. These will damage the surface. Avoid acidic or ammonia based cleaners - commercial or home made - that might "eat through" the protection and ruin your beautiful patina.

Examples of our products with the protective clear lacquer:

- Range Hoods
- Some copper counter tops and backsplashes
- Copper tiles
- Some copper mailboxes
- Copper switch plates and covers
- Copper numbers and letters

See previous newsletter for tips on cleaning your raw/ non-lacquered copper pieces.
