I am Judy, and I have one of the Mountain Copper Creation Copper sinks in one of my bathrooms. I have received numerous compliments on my sink, it is so unique and beautiful. I love how it looks in my bathroom – definitely an attention getter.
They are very easy to work with and have great ideas for any home. Jim’s craftsmanship is state of the art and each piece is one of a kind. I highly recommend Mountain Copper Creations to anyone who is looking for a unique and artistic design in all of the products that they offer.

Jim Clapham of Mountain Copper Creations has done several jobs for us. One of our projects a copper range hood is a great example of his design & artistic skills. The job required difficult measurements to fit the existing space & it is perfect. The beautiful copper hood is the show piece of our kitchen.
Jim is a pleasure to work with & we are looking forward to future projects with Mountain Copper Creations.

Is there a reason that recycled copper is not used in your products?
We do not not want to compromise our copper work by using copper with impurities. Recycled copper is great for may applications but not ours. We strive to provide our clients the best possible custom copper sinks and in order to do this we use high grade copper material milled to our specifications.
Will copper sinks hold heat?
Yes, Copper is a conductor of heat that has been used as early as 3900Bc in Egypt as household vessels and cooking pots.
Will these copper sinks rust?
No, all grades of copper are resistant to atmospheric corrosion and will not rust. Over time copper will patina.
Are these sinks mass produced or stamped?
These hand hammered copper sinks are not massed produced or stamped. Mountain Copper Creations sinks are individually hand hammered and fired using 51 oz copper material with welded copper construction. Each sink is custom designed and created by Jim Clapham a master craftsman and artist.
Are these sinks hard to clean?
To enhance the antique look of the sinks a mild soap is all that’s needed. Minimal Care is needed due to the natural antibacterial component in copper. Simply rinse the sink after each use or for a thorough cleaning wash with dish soap and rinse. We recommend letting your copper sink age naturally to enhance the rich colors of the copper.

Is there any danger with copper and food contact?
No, a team from the University of South Hampton found that copper has bacteria killing properties that combat dangerous bacteria such as e-coli. This research goes on to state that this dangerous bacteria can live for more than a month on stainless steel. However at room temperature copper killed the bacteria in just four hours. Even at cooled temperatures the bacteria was killed in 14 hours.
