The Copper Sink Hoax

The copper sink sellers might be fooling you! Think about this... Many companies post a purity percentage of the copper sinks - like "99.7% pure recycled copper". Most of the copper sinks sold in the United States are made in Mexico, India, China, and Turkey. 

Now, let's put some logic behind that "purity" statement. From what I have heard, most of these companies melt down scrap copper to make the sinks. Some use old telephone wire, some use old copper pipes... well you get the idea. So, how do they test the purity? Doesn't each batch vary? Do you really think these countries actually test the copper purity - or do you think they just make up a number?

Rachiele Copper Sinks, made in the USA, are made of virgin copper. I can send you independent certifications of purity for every batch I purchase. Do you think any other company can do that?

Introducing the Next Generation in Workstation Sink Design

Over a decade ago, I introduced the workstation sink to the public. Many sink manufacturers followed my lead. I, and they,  designed a small step inside the bowl to hold various accessories. The smaller the step, the larger the bowl. We started out with a 3/4" step and quickly dropped to 1/2". 

In January of this year, I designed a workstation sink without a step. The step was replaced with a small ledge. Instead of losing 1" of width, the sink width remained the same. The ledge system affords an additional 34 square inches of space inside our 36" sink! See illustration below. 

I put these sinks on an Introductory Sale here:
