FAQS

Will copper or brass rust, go green, or require much maintenance outdoors?

No copper and brass do not rust like iron. Instead, they develop a natural patina over time, deepening in tone to rich browns and eventually, in some environments, a blue-green verdigris. This change is not damage, but rather a protective layer that makes these metals ideal for outdoor use.

If you love the character of ageing metal, there’s very little maintenance involved. But if you'd prefer to keep the original shine, we offer satin lacquered finishes to slow tarnishing, as well as maintenance kits with polish and cloths. Unlacquered copper typically begins to darken within a few weeks depending on climate and exposure.

Whether you want a sculptural, aged look or a polished centrepiece, the finish is up to you.

Can I install this tap myself, or do I need a plumber?
