Copper counter tops, table tops and bar tops for kitchens and restaurants
Products custom made to order
Our specialty. Copper counter tops can be fabricated from
16, 20, 24 and 48 oz copper. We usually recommend 48 oz copper, for it's durability and ease to weld / blend seams.
The thinner the material is, the easier it is to get dented with usage. For some applications, that is preferred, which gives
a top a more rustic / used look.
Copper counter tops are commonly fabricated with these materials and finishes:
- Gauges used: Depending on the look chosen, or project budget, you can choose from 16 oz, 20 oz, 24 oz and 48 oz per square foot copper. Lighter gauges will be more easily dented, if you're going for a more "beat-up", rustic look. Thicker gauges are more resistant and will last longer.
- Why copper: Copper's beauty is defined by its ever changing looks. It is considered a "living material" since its colors and patina change with time, depending on usage and exposure. It is also a great material for counter tops much like stainless steel for its anti-bacterial properties.
- Edge details: The standard is just a Straight edge. We can also offer custom edges.
- Joints: Tops can be welded and finished to look seamless with 48 oz. They can also be soldered in any other thickness. When tops are sold in separate pieces, the customer can place the parts together and seal them, with a simple butt joint, or have someone weld or solder in the field. We can also add rivets, bolts or anything else to give that extra detailed look to your counter top.
