Copper is an excellent choice for a kitchen worktop or countertop, offering a unique combination of durability, hygiene, and aesthetic appeal. As a metal, copper is naturally antimicrobial, making it well suited to food preparation areas. It helps reduce the presence of harmful bacteria on surfaces, adding reassurance in both domestic and commercial kitchens. For hygiene-focused interiors, we also manufacture hygienic antimicrobial door handles in copper and brass.

Aged copper worktops feature a developed patina that gives the surface an authentic, timeworn appearance. This antique copper patina is the result of oxidation — either naturally occurring over time or deliberately applied through controlled processes. The finish typically shows warm, earthy tones such as deep browns, russet reds, and subtle hints of green or black, depending on the method and level of ageing.
In interior design, aged copper adds character and a sense of heritage. Its soft, muted tones introduce warmth and individuality, making it idea

While lighter than antique copper, satin finishes allow patina to develop gradually over time, adding depth and individuality.
From a design perspective, satin copper complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. It introduces warmth without overpowering the space and works particularly well

Antique copper patina is a finish that develops either naturally or through accelerated ageing, giving copper worktops a deep, warm, and variegated appearance. Tones may include rich browns, burnt oranges, and darker accents that suggest a sense of history and artisanship.
This finish is especially popular in interiors aiming for warmth, depth, and individuality. It works well in rustic, industrial, or vintage-inspired spaces, where a polished or clinical surface might feel too stark. The patina helps soften the overall look of a room while creating a st
