Why you should consider investing in a copper bath

Copper bathtubs are proven to have healing benefits for the human body. Soaking yourself regularly in a copper bathtub rejuvenates and enriches your cells and tissues. For the people living in European and Western countries where the temperatures are freezing cold, copper bathtubs have been of historic importance because of the intrinsic property of the copper to adapt and maintain the temperature of the substance that comes in its contact, copper bathtubs can keep the hot water hot and the cold water cold for a longer duration than their counterpart ceramic tubs.

The copper bathtubs also help in saving your energy bills as you only need to pour the hot water once in the tub and you can enjoy a long soak in the tub as the tub will maintain the warmth of the water.

Copper is a natural antibacterial agent. It is common to use brass door handles in public buildings (brass is a copper alloy) because they help prevent disease transmission. Since you are not the only one who will be using the bathtub in your bathroom hence, it is important to make sure that the material of your tub is antibacterial to prevent disease transmission that may happen by coming in contact with different human bodies.

Copper is a 100 percent recyclable metal. Nearly 80 percent of the copper that has been mined to date is still in use. 

Care & Maintenance

Naturally, copper metal is corrosion resistant hence copper bathtubs never rust.

Each Copper Bath and Brass Bath is coated with a lacquer that maintains the finish and means that the bath only needs to be cleaned by a nonabrasive, everyday bathroom cleaner and wiped with a soft cloth. The coating is durable and flexible, allowing it to stand up to the rigors of regular use.

All surfaces which are supplied plated with Tin, Nickel are supplied un-coated as all of these elements are non-oxidizing and will need no special maintenance other than cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners as used on the coated surfaces.

Warnings

• Never use any corrosive cleaners or ammonia and acid-based cleaners as these can damage the surface of the copper bath. Use a mild detergent or mild soap only.
• Avoid using steel wool and brushes as these can scratch the surface of your bath. Use a soft cloth for cleaning instead.
• Please dry the bath of whatever finish you have (copper, nickel plated, color paint) after every use otherwise it can have water marks.
• While bathing, make sure that the bathing substances that you add to the water are suitable for use in the copper tub. You should for example never use lemon in a copper bathtub.

Scratches

Copper is a soft metal and hence can get scratches easily, however owing to self-healing nature of copper, these scratches will disappear themselves as surface of copper constantly reacts with the air and gradually changes color and appearance. This is called the patina.

Instead of trying to repair the scratches, you should start loving them as these scratches, dents, and dings form the unique character of the copper and adds to the rustic feel of the metal product.
