Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is a copper splashback?
A copper splashback is a decorative and functional panel made from copper, installed behind kitchen sinks, stoves, or countertops to protect walls from splashes and spills.
2. What are the standard sizes of copper sheets available?
We offer copper sheets in two standard sizes:
- 2400mm x 1200mm
- 2000mm x 1000mm
(We tend to use 1.2mm thickness)
Custom sizes are also available upon request (in fact, over 90% of our work is custom copper splashbacks).
3. How do I clean and maintain my copper splashback?
To maintain your copper splashback, use a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.
4. Can I customise the design of my copper splashback?
Yes! We offer customisation options for our copper splashbacks, including size and patina finishes. If you haven’t already, head to Instagram—Copper by Design — for an idea of the patina finishes we can achieve.
5. Is copper a durable material for kitchen use, and will the patina change over time?
Absolutely! Copper is a durable and heat-resistant material, making it an excellent choice for kitchen environments. It's important to note that copper is a living metal, which means its patina will evolve subtly over time, adding character to your splashback. Each of our copper splashbacks is heat-treated and finished with Microcrystalline Wax to enhance its durability and protect its appearance.
6. How long does it take to receive my order?
Typically, orders are processed and shipped within 8-10 weeks, from payment of a 50% deposit (which allows us to purchase the copper). Custom orders may take longer, depending on the specifications.
8. Do you offer installation services?
Yes, we can provide installation services if you are based in Perth WA,
9. Can copper splashbacks be used in outdoor settings?
Yes, copper splashbacks can be used outdoors; however, they may develop a patina over time due to exposure to the elements. Regular maintenance can help preserve their appearance.
