Brass vs Copper Sinks: Which One Suits Your Kitchen?

Brass vs Copper Sinks – Why Choose a Metal Sink?

Metal sinks have become a popular choice in both modern and traditional kitchens. Unlike ceramic or composite alternatives, brass and copper evolve over time, developing a patina that adds depth and authenticity to the finish.

Brass Sinks: Refined Elegance with a Golden Glow

Brass kitchen sinks are favoured for their sophisticated appearance and rich golden tones. Whether satin finish or aged to a deeper antique finish, brass offers timeless appeal. Antique brass sinks are especially popular in heritage-style kitchens, offering a deep patina and warm aged tones
