Installed this outdoor shower and it performs beautifully. The unlacquered brass develops a gorgeous patina in sunlight. The round rain head delivers a luxurious flow. The cross handles feel truly premium.
This sink works in two zones and wears two faces. Inside, the basin is all function: a spacious hammered copper washing bowl on the right, and a shallow integrated draining zone on the left — fitted with a perforated copper grid that lets water pass straight through to the drain below. Dishes come out of the water, go onto the grid, and drain without you thinking about it. No separate rack, no countertop drainer, nothing that doesn't belong to the sink itself.
Then there is the apron front — and it tells a completely different story. Where the interior is clean and warm and purposeful, the exterior face of this sink carries the full weight of aged copper: a heavy fire and verdigris patina that covers the flat apron in bold, irregular patches of deep orange-brown and green. It looks like the outside of an old building, or the hull of something that has spent time in the water. The two faces of this sink — functional warm interior, dramatically patinated exterior — are not in conflict. They are two honest expressions of what copper actually is: a material that works hard and ages beautifully, and does not pretend otherwise.
For daily care, wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners — they will strip the natural patina that makes this sink worth having in the first place.
Every hevna sink is solid, unlacquered metal — no coating, no sealer. The finish is the metal, so it lives and changes with use. We build for that.

Both are solid metal with a living finish, so it comes down to tone and what the sink sits next to.
Copper runs warm and reddish, ages into deep browns, and the hammered texture hides water spots and small marks better than any other material.
Brass runs golden and pairs cleanly with brass faucets and hardware for a coordinated look. Neither is more durable than the other.
Pick the one that matches the warmth you want in the room. The exact finish and dimensions of each are in the product specifications.
Gauge is the thickness of the metal, and a lower number means thicker.
Thicker metal resists dents from heavy pots and cast iron. The exact gauge of each sink is listed in its specifications.
Our sinks are made heavy enough for daily kitchen use, and on the hammered models the texture also disguises the small marks that show up instantly on smooth stainless steel.
Yes. A brass polish, or lemon juice with baking soda, brings it back to bright gold in a few minutes.
The patina is always reversible. You choose: polish it monthly and keep the shine, or leave it alone and let it develop. Neither choice is wrong.
Yes. The drain opening follows the standard US 3.5 inch size, so standard disposals fit the same way they would on any kitchen sink.
Check the product specifications for the exact drain details on your model. If your disposal is an uncommon brand, a standard adapter handles it.
A solid copper or brass sink is heavier than stainless.
Most standard cabinets handle a drop-in or undermount with no changes. Apron-front and farmhouse installs carry more weight at the front, so have your installer confirm the cabinet support before fitting.
The weight of each model is listed in its specifications so you can plan ahead.
Acidic food left sitting will darken that spot faster than the rest of the sink. This is cosmetic, not damage.
It speeds the patina in one area, and the tone evens out with normal use or a quick wipe.
Rinse the basin after use and the finish stays uniform. If you prefer a slower, more even patina, an occasional coat of wax does it.
It will patina, and that is the point of a living finish.
Copper deepens into rich browns, brass into a warm antique gold. If you ever want the bright look back, a metal polish made for the material restores it in minutes.
The aging is always reversible. You decide whether to polish it or let it live.
This varies by model and is stated in the product specifications. Some are left raw to age naturally, others are waxed for a slower, more even patina. Check the listing for the exact finish of the sink you want.
Copper surfaces naturally resist bacteria, neutralizing it on contact over hours where stainless steel can hold it for days. It is one of the oldest reasons kitchens used copper. Brass is a copper alloy and shares the trait to a degree. Either way, normal cleaning keeps the basin sound.
Warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, bleach, and harsh acidic cleaners, which strip the patina unevenly. To slow the aging, an occasional coat of wax. To embrace it, do nothing at all.
