Why Choose Copper Bar Tops or Countertops?

Copper is a metal that is perfectly suited to kitchen and bar surfaces. It has a wonderful shine and unique aesthetic while serving many practical functions, ideal for high-maintenance environments.

  • Corrosion resistant: Copper is an incredibly resistant metal that can withstand harsh chemicals and high heat. In kitchens and bars where liquids are spilt and wear and tear occur, copper will stand the test of time. 
  • Cleaning properties: Copper is anti-microbial metal which means it kills bacteria. In kitchens, this is ideal due to the risks associated with food such as the spreading of E-coli, and with busy bars, where germs can spread easily. A simple wipe-down leaves the copper both shiny and hygienic. 
  • Unique aesthetic: As well as a long life and easy maintenance, copper develops its own unique aesthetic. As the copper reacts with the air it oxidises and over time creates a patina finish on the surface of your countertop, unique to this chemical reaction. It means copper surfaces age like a fine wine.

These factors all make copper a fine addition to any home or establishment. Our metal copper bar tops and countertops are the perfect modern-day feature to your interior, bringing style, longevity and an easy life of maintenance.

How do you care for your copper bar top?

 

Clean regularly
Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soapy water to clean the surface. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch or damage the copper.

Wipe the bar top dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

 

Prevent tarnishing
Copper naturally develops a patina over time. If you prefer to maintain the shiny appearance, regularly apply a copper cleaner or polish following the product’s instructions.

Alternatively, a homemade solution of equal parts lemon juice and salt can be applied, then rinsed off and dried thoroughly.

 

Consider using a protective coating
Consider applying a protective wax or lacquer to the bar top. This creates a barrier against moisture, fingerprints, and other potential stains.

Reapply the protective coating periodically, especially if the bar top starts to lose its sheen or shows signs of wear.

 

Consider whether you want a natural patina
Some owners appreciate the natural patina that copper develops over time. If you prefer this aged look, simply clean the bar top with mild soapy water and let nature take its course.

Copper bar top FAQs

Is copper good for a bar top?
Copper is an excellent choice for bar tops due to its unique aesthetic, antimicrobial properties, and ability to develop a natural patina over time, adding character.

How thick should a copper bar top be?
A copper bar top should typically be between 1.2mm to 2.5mm thick. The ideal thickness often depends on the size of the countertop and its use. Most bar tops are 1.5mm to 2mm thick to ensure durability and to stop it denting or warping.

How do you seal a copper bar top?
Seal a copper bar top using a clear protective lacquer or wax to prevent tarnishing and protect against stains, ensuring it’s food-safe if you think food contact is likely.

Can you put hot pans on copper countertops?
While copper can withstand heat, placing hot pans directly can cause discoloration. Use trivets to prevent potential heat marks.

What manufacturing standards should a copper bar top meet?
The copper bar top should be made to ISO 9001 standards. This means that the company has processes to ensure consistent product quality, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement. At CSM, we design and build all of our sheet metal products to meet ISO 9001 and CHAS accreditations.
