copper bath tube are produced in many countries, including China and Mexico. They are made by heating copper sheets and then hammering them into shape according to the design and size of the intended bathtubs. One of the benefits of buying a copper tub from Zoha is its ability to complement almost any type of bathroom décor, including traditional, modern or antique style bathrooms.

Thing you have to keep in mind while purchasing a copper bath tube:

1. Easy To Care For

First, let’s get rid of a myth about copper. Most of us remember when shiny copper bottomed pots and pans had to be scrubbed and polished constantly. Because of this, we believe that a copper bathtub will be high maintenance and require a lot of care.

Quite the opposite is true of copper. You will be delighted to know that pure copper tubs require no maintenance! Pure copper virtually takes care of itself. To help maintain your copper tub, simply rinse with water and dry completely after each use to prevent spotting. You can occasionally use a very mild, lemon-free soap with a soft, nonabrasive cloth to further clean your tub.

2. Copper is Antibacterial

It has been found that copper surfaces eliminate more than 99% of bacteria known to be human pathogens within just two hours. This means that bacteria literally cannot live on the surface of your copper bathtub. Other materials can harbor bacteria up to a month it not properly cleaned and cared for.

You can toss out those disinfectants and antibacterial products you have stashed under your sink because copper is a natural fight for bacteria!

3. Heal Themselves

Your copper bathtub will not scratch any more or any less than any other material but unlike other materials, copper actually heals itself. If you happen to scratch the surface, no need to panic! Because of copper’s living finish, this bathtub will heal itself. If you simply go about your normal routine, within a short period of time you will start to notice that the scratch will begin to darken and blend back into the original patina of the tub.

4. Become More Beautiful As They Age

High-quality copper has a unique characteristic known as a living finish. This sets copper apart from other materials and metals. When left untreated, copper interacts with the environment will start to deepen in color and tone over time. When copper begins, it is a pinkish hue that will gradually darken the color as it passes through tan and coffee browns until it finally stops at a deep, rich tone.

In addition to looking great, copper metal is bacteria and mold resistant — making copper bathtub care a walk in the park because it’s easier to maintain a clean and sanitary tub.

This article describes the many benefits of copper tubs, outlines some reasons to buy a copper bathtub and will help you select the ‘right’ tub — one that meets the demands of yourself and your family is easy to care for and can be counted on to last for generations.

Copper Tubs Are Easy to Maintain

If you’re used to those shiny copper-bottomed pots and pans that need to be scrubbed and polished regularly, you might not believe this. However, the fact is that copper — pure copper — is virtually indestructible. While it’s possible to scratch the patina finish, there are fast, easy ways to avoid doing that.

Copper bathtubs, like this copper soaking tub, come with patina finishes that are baked into the material, imparting an amazingly weathered or aged appearance. If you scrub or polish the bathtub with any abrasive or acid-based materials at all, you’ll damage the finish. So keeping your copper bathtub in tip-top shape is simple and straightforward — don’t scrub or polish!

You may encounter some unfamiliar terms when shopping for a copper bath. The most important indicator of quality is the gauge, or thickness, of the metal; the lower the number, the better the copper. Look for 14- to 16-gauge (or lower) copper; a thinner gauge (higher number) is more prone to damage.

Most copper tubs are made of recycled copper, which contains a small percentage of zinc or another alloy. A high-quality tub should contain at least 97% copper; check for unsafe additives such as mercury and lead, which lower-quality tubs may contain.

You may notice words and phrases like “cold-rolled” or “annealed” in relation to your tub. Those terms refer to the manufacturing process and do not have much impact on the quality or construction of your tub, though it’s recommended that you seek a lower gauge for annealed copper.

If your tub has seams, opt for seams that are welded rather than soldered. Soldering results in a weaker seam that’s prone to splitting, while welded seams will not weaken or break over time.

Are copper tubs antibacterial?

Yes, copper has natural antibacterial properties, so your tub remains a hygienic environment. It will also never rust or corrode.

Are copper tubs safe?

High-quality tubs made of pure or nearly pure recycled copper are completely safe. Lower-quality tubs may contain unsafe levels of mercury or lead, which can leach toxins into the water, making the tub unsafe for bathing. Check your tub’s metal composition to ensure that it contains no unsafe alloys.

Because most copper tubs are freestanding, an additional safety concern is entering and exiting a high-walled tub safely. If climbing in and out may be difficult for you, consider a set of matching copper steps for security

What styles and colors of copper tubs are available?

Copper tubs are available in a wide variety of styles. The most popular are inspired by antique copper bathtub styles, including the freestanding copper bath, copper clawfoot tub, and copper slipper tub (a freestanding bath with one or both ends sloped for comfort and visual interest). Many feature extra detailing or pedestals; a copper roll top bath has a rim that is “rolled” for a timeless appearance.

While copper tubs are commonly large and rectangular or oval-shaped, even a smaller bathroom can be fitted with a beautiful Japanese-style copper soaking tub with a small, deep footprint.

Some copper tubs are lined in a contrasting metal such as nickel or even acrylic; consider the interior before purchasing as it may be less expensive but does not offer all of the advantages of a copper interior.

The copper may be smooth or hammered, depending on your preference. A smooth finish is more likely to show damage, while a hammered copper bathtub conceals damage and is less likely to dent.

Copper is available in a range of colors, from brand-new-penny shiny to deep brown and every shade in between. All finishes will develop a patina, or a unique living finish, as it “tarnishes” over time; darker finishes will develop a less noticeable patina than brighter finishes. To strip off patina, use a copper polishing cream once or twice a year (more frequent polishing will damage the finish).

To preserve the current patina on your tub, wax it with copper wax, beeswax, or furniture polish on a regular basis to slow the progression; if you’re entirely satisfied with the patina, apply clear lacquer to preserve it.

An accent table can serve as a building block of interior design through its wood tone and shape, adding depth, contrast and interest to a room. “For example, if you have a lot of rectangles in your home, such as your sofa, the rug, the windows, the bookcases, etc., then round or oval accent tables bring contrast to all those sharp edges and corners providing softness, interest and energy as your eye moves around the room,” says Amy Foster, Furniture Row Companies home accessory buyer.

Consider wood tone as another layer of color for a room, Foster adds. And not all colors have to match as long as they coordinate. “As with all layers of design, contrast adds depth and dimension,” Foster says. “If you have a matching set of tables as your coffee and side table, consider purchasing the console table in a deeper tone or lighter tone to add interest. Of course, a painted accent piece or a piece made from reclaimed wood would perform the same task of adding dimension and even a little bit of soul to the room.”
