Care and Maintenence 🧼
Cleaning Your Havens Sink
1. Prepare Your Cleaning Supplies
- Use a mild soap or household detergent.
- Equip yourself with a wet sponge or dishwashing applicator.
2. Clean the Sink:
- Scrub the inside of the sink's basin with the soapy sponge, applying light pressure to remove food particles and debris.
- Rinse thoroughly with running water from the faucet. Your sink will drain completely without pooling.
3. Optional Finishing Touch:
- For an added sheen, apply a natural copper or stainless steel conditioner to restore the metal's luster. This step is optional as the sink's smooth surface already promotes easy drainage and cleanliness.
Why Maintenance is a Breeze:
Our sinks are designed with a gentle, slick surface that directs food and liquids effortlessly toward the drain, minimizing the need for intensive scrubbing. With options for right, left, or centered drain placements, every Havens sink guarantees efficient drainage and a hassle-free cleaning experience.

Copper vs. Stainless Steel: Key Differences
Copper Sinks: The Antimicrobial Advantage
Copper sinks are renowned for their natural antimicrobial properties, which help keep your kitchen cleaner. However, it's crucial to choose a high-quality, non-recycled copper sink to avoid issues such as warping or premature wear.
Havens copper sinks develop a unique patina over time, showcasing rich hues of brown and deep orange. This natural aging process is part of copper's charm, and our sinks are designed to age beautifully while being easy to maintain.
Stainless Steel Sinks: Sleek and Resilient
Our stainless steel sinks offer a modern look with exceptional resilience. The high-quality finish ensures that they remain sleek and functional with minimal effort.

The Havens Difference: Crafted in the USA 🇺🇸
Over 95% of sinks on the market are imported, often resulting in lower quality and durability. At Havens, we prioritize American craftsmanship and high-quality materials, ensuring that every sink we create meets our stringent standards.
By choosing Havens, you’re investing in a product that combines superior materials with expert craftsmanship, guaranteeing a sink that not only performs exceptionally but also stands the test of time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Owning a Copper Sink
Are copper sinks easy to clean and maintain?
Havens copper sinks are designed for easy maintenance and do not require extra steps to preserve their finish. Unlike low-quality imported sinks, which often use thin, recycled copper and rely on a fragile protective coating, Havens sinks are built from high-quality copper with a lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term durability and simple care. Research and choose carefully, as poor-quality sinks can lead to deterioration over time and additional costs for replacements.
Do copper kitchen sinks turn green?
A high-quality Havens copper sink will not turn green, blue, or teal, even after decades of use. While copper can develop these colors due to exposure to sunlight, salty air, or oxidizing elements, Havens sinks are designed to resist such oxidation. They will retain their rich brown and orange hues over time, which is why they come with a lifetime warranty.
What is the best gauge for a copper sink?
The gauge of copper is crucial for sink quality, with a lower number indicating thicker, more durable metal. For optimal performance, a 14 gauge, 48oz American copper sink is superior to metals like brass or stainless steel, offering durability, resistance to scratching, and immunity to warping or rust. Havens sinks, made from high-quality, non-recycled copper, can support significant weight and withstand extensive use, unlike lower-quality sinks. When evaluating a sink, consider the gauge, metal origin, and whether it is recycled to assess its durability and lifespan.
Do copper sinks tarnish or dull over time?
When choosing a copper sink, it's important to understand that copper's living finish, or patina, evolves over time. While the appearance may subtly change, the patina continuously heals itself, maintaining a rich brown color and offering self-protection. This natural process not only protects the sink from bacteria but also helps conceal food blemishes between cleanings, making copper sinks both fascinating and functional.
Should a copper sink be dried, waxed or polished?
No, a high-quality copper sink should never need to be dried, waxed, or polished. Unlike many low-quality, imported copper sinks that require extensive care and maintenance, a Havens copper sink, crafted in the USA, is designed to be maintenance-free. It comes with a lifetime warranty and is built to withstand use without the need for waxing, drying, or polishing, ensuring it remains both beautiful and functional with minimal effort.
Is copper a safe metal? Are there any health hazards with copper?
When selecting a copper sink, it's crucial to choose one with high purity. Most copper is generally safe, but lower-quality recycled alloys may contain impurities like beryllium and arsenic, which can affect durability and lead to issues like dulling or rusting. Havens sinks are made from 99.9% pure, non-recycled copper, offering superior durability and antimicrobial properties. This ensures the sink is not only safe but also maintains its natural benefits, unlike lower-quality, lacquered, or coated alternatives.
Can I use abrasives, harsh chemicals, or bleach in my copper sink?
Havens copper sinks are highly resilient and can withstand abrasives and household chemicals, including bleach, without damaging the metal. While certain chemicals might alter the patina temporarily, this patina acts as a protective layer that naturally restores itself over time. The copper's inherent ability to recondition ensures that the surface will maintain its appearance and integrity, even after exposure to harsh substances.
