Factors such as moisture, temperature and water solids content all play a role in what these sinks will eventually end up looking like. This phenomenon is typically known as the patina. Some will appreciate the natural evolving patina of copper sinks where others want to keep their sink looking like it was when they originally purchased it. For this we recommend applying a natural wax such as carnauba wax to the surface of the sink to prevent changes in the finish.
