Our Range of Copper Sink Styles

Handmade copper sinks by Metal Sheets Ltd combine craftsmanship, durability, and design flexibility.

  • Fa

Design & Collaboration

Every project begins with collaboration. We work closely with each client to design and fabricate bespoke copper and brass sinks that perfectly complement their kitchens. Whether you require a compact rectangular bowl or an expansive multi-bowl configuration, every sink is individually crafted to your specifications. Custom options such as plug-hole layouts, overflow positions, and drainer integration allow you to tailor every detail to suit your space and style.

Simply share your dimensions, sketches, or CAD drawings, and our engineers will bring your c

Belfast-Style (Apron-Front)

Belfast-style apron-fronts are deep, rectangular sink style traditionally associated with Victorian kitchens. Characterised by their exposed front and integrated overflow, known as a weir, they offer a striking blend of functionality and classic design. Made from hand-formed copper, these sinks introduce a warm, natural material into the kitchen while retaining a solid, practical form. Their generous bowl depth makes them ideal for washing large cookware or accommodating busy family life, and the weir overflow helps prevent spills. Aesthetically, they pa

Butler-Style (No Weir Overflow)

Butler-style versions share the same substantial, rectangular form but omit the weir overflow for a cleaner profile, making them a popular choice for those seeking a traditional sink with a more understated finish. Large and rectangular with an apron-front design, Butler sinks are well suited to both country-style kitchens and contemporary interiors that embrace natural materials. Crafted from high-quality copper, these sinks combine heritage-inspired aesthetics with modern functionality. They are highly durable, naturally antimicrobial, and resistant to

Farmhouse Options

Farmhouse models are defined by a large apron front and deep, practical bowl inspired by traditional rural kitchens. Designed for practicality and presence, these sinks are ideal for households that value both visual impact and hard-wearing utility. The exposed front panel offers an attractive contrast to cabinetry, while the generous interior is perfect for soaking large pots, preparing food, or managing daily kitchen tasks with ease. Hand-crafted from durable copper, these sinks bring a natural, artisan feel to the space and are suited to a range of in

Drop-In / Top-Mount

Copper drop in sinks are designed to sit neatly within a cut-out in the worktop, with the rim resting on the surface. This installation style is especially popular for its straightforward fitting process, making it ideal for renovations or upgrades where ease and speed are priorities. The exposed rim becomes a design feature in its own right, showcasing the chosen copper finish, whether polished, brushed, or aged with a rich patina. Drop in sinks are available in a variety of shapes and configurations, including single and double bowls, offering flexibil

Single-Bowl Designs

Single bowl copper sinks feature one large, uninterrupted basin, offering maximum internal space for washing up, food prep, or cleaning oversized cookware. The streamlined design is ideal for smaller kitchens where space is limited or for those who prefer a simple, uncluttered layout. Without a central divider, the sink is easier to clean and more flexible in use, perfect for large baking trays, stockpots, or soaking pans. Crafted from high-quality copper, these sinks provide all the usual benefits of the material, including natural antibacterial protect

Bowl-and-a-Half Layouts

Bowl and a half copper sinks offer a practical layout featuring one full-sized bowl alongside a smaller half bowl, making them ideal for multitasking in busy kitchens. The main bowl handles everyday washing up and food preparation, while the half bowl is perfect for rinsing vegetables, draining pasta, or housing a waste disposal unit. The layout helps streamline workflow by separating tasks and keeping the main bowl free when needed. Crafted from durable, hand-worked copper, these sinks are not only functional but also add a warm, artisanal feel to the k

Double-Bowl Options

Double bowl copper sinks feature two equally sized basins separated by a central divide, offering an efficient layout for kitchens that require flexibility. This design allows users to separate tasks, for example, using one bowl for washing and the other for rinsing, soaking, or prepping food. It’s especially useful in busy households or for those who cook frequently and need a more structured workspace. The symmetrical layout suits both traditional and modern kitchens, while the distinctive copper finish adds warmth and character to the space. As

It’s worth noting that natural copper develops a patina over time, evolving into rich hues of brown as it ages gracefully. For those seeking an instant vintage aesthetic, we also offer the option of starting with an aged patina, adding char

Care & Maintenance

Proper care is vital to preserving the beauty and longevity of natural copper kitchen sinks. Cleaning is straightforward and requires only soft cloths, high-quality microfibre, warm water, and a mild detergent. Harsh or abrasive cleaners should be avoided to prevent damaging the copper’s surface.

After washing, it’s best to dry the copper sink with a dry cloth to remove any remaining water and minimise the risk of water spots forming.

If you wish to slow the natural development of patina, applying a thin layer of beeswax can help. Not only do

Do copper sinks develop a patina over time?

Yes. Real copper naturally reacts with air and moisture, forming a protective patina that deepens in tone with use. This creates a warm, authentic aged appearance that’s part of the metal’s unique character.
