This is our latest patina
stencil inside the bowl of a sink. With regular use of our copper
conditioner, this patina should last for several years. The back of a sink
does not get the wear and tear of the bottom of a sink. Most importantly, if
your design ever becomes dated, you will not have to live with it forever.
Merely remove the patina with a copper cleaner and let the sink age
naturally and you will have a new look! This sink is a patented design which can be installed over an existing sink cabinet frame by merely removing the false drawer heads. The apron is shorter than the bowl. (We also own the patent on any apron sink where the bowl is deeper than the apron). The apron has our fire and ice patina, and the inside of the sink has a patina stencil. |

The first several sinks are photos copper
sinks that we aged. Our aging process is an accelerated process similar to
what will occur naturally over time with your sink. Our process does not affect the natural antibacterial properties of copper!
Many other sinks offer "finishes" which totally eliminate the natural
antibacterial properties of copper. Let us tell you more about why we feel
our sinks are the only sinks on the market which you will be happy with long
term! Give us a call at 1-800-881-9044 What you are seeing in these photos is the natural coloration of copper when it ages during normal use in a home.
Copper can be a nightmare to care for OR it can be maintenance free. Ask us
why only our sinks are maintenance free! |

Many of you have asked what a copper sink looks like after several years of use. This is a picture of the main sink in my kitchen. I have used this sink for over 7 years now and it keeps getting more beautiful every day. There has been virtually no maintenance other than using a sponge and soap to clean it and occasionally using a Scotch Brite pad to lighten a dark spot or two caused by leaving a pot in the sink overnight. The sink was built 12" deep, however the left side is 9" deep, a much better working height. The left side is a removable false bottom with drain holes. When removed, we have a huge sink for putting the outdoor grill inside for cleaning as well as the large pots, etc. I would not recommend a 12" deep sink. If I could do it over again, I would use an 8" deep sink. I took two photos of the
inside of my main sink, (left) about 6 months apart. The lower photo was
taken on May 19th, 2009. The sink is well over 7 years old now. As you can
see, the interior mottling changes. In fact, the patters on the inside of
the sink change from week to week. The general overall look stays about the
same. The slight overall color difference you see in the photo is due to the
photography. Click on the images to see close-up views. The photos to
the right are current photos of my kitchen after a recent facelift.

Copper undermount sink with right rear drain. Rear corner drains just make sense. Have you ever placed a dish, pot or tray inside a sink and found the sink filling up with water because you were covering up the drain? Not with a Rachiele sink! The use of a center drain in a sink goes back to prehistoric times when we did not have the capability of making a vessel drain without putting the drain in the center. The only reason for center drains or rear center drains is to eliminate additional inventory. If wholesalers had to stock right and left rear drains, inventory would double. If you are designing a custom kitchen, do your self a favor and include a custom sink. The sink is the most used appliance in your kitchen. |

The subtle beauty of our "Fire and Ice" finish on the apron of a copper sink speaks to the magic of what copper can offer in terms of pleasing the eye. Traditionally, this has been the most difficult of our finishes, and might we add - one of our most popular as well. |

Our most popular sink is the 30" wide, 20" front to back, 9" deep copper apron front sink with a right rear drain. We keep these in inventory and a very special price. The sink shown is weathered, however we have optional finishes available for the apron. Why are our apron front sinks different? First, they are designed to fit cabinetry properly. Dino Rachiele was a nationally accredited kitchen designer for over 20 years and designed the sinks to fit cabinetry, not merely as a stand alone sink. Too often the apron portion of the sink is too thick, making the user reach too far to work in the sink. Our apron is only 1 1/2" thick. A thicker apron is defeating the ergonomic purpose of an apron front sink. Secondly, our sinks are square and true and will be the measurements you order. Lastly, we use cold rolled copper, which is much sturdier than annealed or softer forms of copper. This will insure your sink will withstand the rigors of use over time, especially with a garbage disposer. Front view of a 30" copper apron front sink - weathered patina finished on 8-1-08 by Joycelyn "Juice" Boudreaux, the artist who applies the patina and other finishes in and on our sinks. We take great care in applying a real natural patina on your sink. We do not apply a faux finish inside your sink which will never last. Our self healing weathered patina will be easy to maintain and most importantly, we do not inhibit the natural antibacterial properties of the copper by adding a wax or lacquer to the interior of our sinks. |

Copper apron front sink installation in client's home. Sink features a right rear drain, a weathered patina and a Herbeau Faucet. One of the significant differences in our apron front sinks is the ability to customize and offer a depth that is suitable for the user. For example, most apron front sinks are undermounted and the true depth of the sink is generally an inch and a quarter deeper due to the thickness of the countertop. If you order a 10" deep sink, the sink is effectively 11 1/4" deep. If you are taller than 6' or shorter than 5'4, a 10" deep sink is too deep. Remember, you will have the luxury of scrubbing pots, pans and platters on the bottom of the sink without a drain in the way. Picture yourself bending over, working at the bottom of an 11 1/2" deep sink before you consider a 10" deep apron sink. |

Dino Rachiele took his vast knowledge of kitchen design and designed the only apron front sink that will fit in standard cabinetry. The patented design allowed us to use an existing stock sink cabinet. We merely removed the false drawer heads, slipped the apron over the face frame of the cabinet and...an apron front sink is installed. The one inch channel behind the apron allows the sink to "saddle" over the face frame. The sink can be much deeper than the apron. In this case, the apron is 7" tall and the sink is 9" deep. |

Small copper undermount sink designed for an HGTV showcase home. If you click on the photo you will see a larger image showing a custom designed copper countertop with an artist applied finish. Most every sink we make is custom tailored to the height, handedness and specifications of the user. Manufacturing in the USA, just a few miles from our office and warehouse, gives us the ability to oversee the manufacturing process as well as inspect each sink before it is shipped. We are very picky about quality. in fact, in the 10 years we have been manufacturing sinks, we have never had to send a factory representative to a customer's home to deal with a problem! |

Dutch Mills Cabinetry is considered one of the finest custom cabinet manufacturers in the USA. They are very particular about every detail of the construction of their cabinets.

Fire and Ice finish on Copper
Apron Front sink with rear corner drain. A Rachiele sink is unmistakable. It does not look at all like an imported sink because we manufacture them right here in Florida. The only similarity to an imported sink is the fact that we use similar material. Virtually everything else is different!
No other company offers a transferable lifetime
warranty and a satisfaction guarantee. Think
about this... Would you really spend your hard earned money on a sink (with
no moving parts) that did not have a lifetime warranty? |

Radius apron front sink was custom made to fit the fine cabinetry of Quality Custom Cabinetry for the 2005 Kitchen and Bath Show in Las Vegas. Quality Custom Cabinetry could have selected many other sinks for their display. In fact, most every other manufacturer would have offered their sinks at no charge just to have their product in the National Kitchen and Bath show. Quality Custom Cabinetry by passed their free options and paid for a Rachiele sink because they wanted to show a quality that was representative of the fine quality craftsmanship of their cabinetry. |

ARE THEY KIDDING??? We just have to show you the workmanship of one of our competitors. They do not show "detail" photos on their web site. Take a look at what soldered corners look like. Our corners are always welded with copper. PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH OUR SINKS! | |

Don't forget a copper drain and strainer assembly, or a copper disposal flange and strainer/stopper. We recommend a solid copper unit which has no coating to chip, nor a finish to wear off. These copper drains will eventually weather and blend in with your sink. Apposed to all others on the market, these drains actually kill bacteria. Copper naturally kills bacteria - however only in a raw state like ours. See all of the copper drains. | |

First, let me dispel a myth! We have had several customers call to inquire about the care of copper sinks. Some have been told by their friends, designers, and plumbers that copper is difficult to care for. There is some truth to that myth. If you are looking to keep your sink looking like a new shiny penny, you are in for some effort. If you would like the sink to age naturally to a beautiful variety of darker copper colors, you are in for a treat. As far as your sink turning green - very unlikely. We have 4 copper sinks and a totally copper shower in our home. No green!!! If you would like to see a photo of a three year old sink (mine) which has not been polished in two years, click here. | |

We recently introduced our copper "Smart Sink" at the National Kitchen and Bath Show. The "Smart Sink" has a full backsplash built into the sink so wet hands drip into the sink when turning off the water. This type of sink makes so much sense. It also will lower the cost of your granite, as granite is stopped on either side of the sink. This could potentially save you $100 to $200. | |

Introducing the "Ultimate Comfort Sink"
This is truly the ultimate sink for comfort where there are two or more
people using a sink and one is much taller than the other.
My personal situation was the catalyst in the design. I am 5' 9" and my wife is 5' 4". We have two large sinks in our kitchen. I made one 10" deep and the other 12" deep The 12" deep sink is not comfortable for my wife. That sink happens to be the one we use the most. So... I had to come up with a solution! My solution solved several problems. I put a false bottom on the left side of the sink. It measures about 20" wide. I designed it to have randomly placed holes for drainage. It sits about 3" higher than the bottom of the sink. Now my wife, Maria, can use the sink comfortably. The false bottom is removable so you can have a flat bottom when cleaning larger items such as cookie sheets, etc. It also serves as terrific set-off space. Dishes can be stacked after they are scraped and rinsed. By the way, this same sink is pictured below in various stages of aging. The sink is now just about 2 years old and has only been cleaned twice with copper cleaner. That was done for two photo shoots. |

Our eclipse sink features the ability to blend copper and stainless steel. This huge sink was built with an integral copper back splash. The sink was made of stainless, the apron and back were made of copper. This requires a considerable amount of skill. We purposefully make all of our photos "clickable" to very large images. This way you can better see the quality of our sinks. A small view may hide significant "issues". | |

How is this for a unique application? The drain was put in the rear for use in a potting shed. This configuration leaves virtually all of the sink clear as a work surface. Patent US D497-201 | |

We specialize in custom! If you have an unusual requirement, we can generally make a perfect sink for you. This sink was designed for a client with an unusual angle situation in the kitchen sink area. The process was simple. They gave us dimensions, we returned a drawing for approval, the sink was ordered and delivered in about 4 weeks. By the way, is this not a brilliant idea for a corner? | |

When a copper sink is freshly made, it has a pinkish cast to it. Generally, a few days later, it starts to become more orange and then it begins to become browner. The photo on the right is of a newly manufactured copper apron front sink with a backsplash attached. Patent granted on design. We have a patent on any apron front sink which has a shorter apron than the bowl depth. Competitors be advised. | |

This is another first for Custom Sinks by
Rachiele. We manufactured the first double bowl copper farm sink in the
industry. I designed this one for General Electric's year 2000 Monogram
Series literature. They asked us to build a double bowl copper farm sink for them. The right one is
slightly smaller, still large enough to work in. The left bowl is 10" deep
and the right one is 8" deep. The sink is a hammered finish, and we
heavily hammered this one. It is absolutely beautiful.   |

These two pictures are of the same sink we built
for G.E. 4 months later. It was used during the photo shoot and returned to
us in a very aged and beautiful condition. If you would like to see what a
copper sink would look like if it were not polished regularly, click on the
2 photos directly to the left. The bottom photo is of the interior of
one of the bowls to show the beautiful colors. There are oranges,
purples, greens, copper, red, blue and just about every color imaginable.
One of the most fun aspects of owning a copper sink is the daily change in appearance. The sink starts out looking like fresh new pinkish copper. It quickly becomes a warmer orange color. With time, you may see some iridescent colors like the one on the left. Copper will age naturally, just like a penny. It will get darker brown with time. We think they get prettier with age. The best part of owning a copper sink is your ability to start the process over and over again. Just clean the sink with Bar Keepers Friend and you begin the process all over. Bar Keepers Friend will refresh the darkest finish in just minutes with little effort at all. It is truly an amazing product. We use it exclusively here and at home. |

Here is one of our sinks in the factory being hand hammered. Often so-called hand hammered sinks look contrived as the distressing is done by machine. Ours are truly hand- built and hand-distressed. Call us at 1-888-880-9469 to place your order or to ask further questions. These sinks make a great bar sink, prep. sink or even a lavatory sink. Remember, we will make virtually any size and shape. We will also build double bowl and triple bowl sinks. Just call one of our custom sink designers and design your own custom sink with their assistance. 1-888-880-9469 | |

Read about the hassle you may have to go through
with some imported
copper sinks. Look at this statement made by an imported sink company: "If you have hard water in your area, we recommend you keep your sink dry by wiping it down periodically with a soft cloth." Keep your sink dry?? You have to be kidding right? Another statement by an imported sink company: "Do not use corrosives, such as chlorine or concentrated vinegar, abrasive cleaners, or harsh chemicals on the copper sinks. These substances may damage the finish of the copper sinks." Rachiele sinks do not have a "finish" to damage. We do not have any disclaimers. Go ahead and use your Rachiele copper sink the way a kitchen sink was meant to be used. You can actually wet the sink without drying it! You can use common household products, such as vinegar and Clorox (chlorine) in your sink if you like. Click on the image below to see a typical imported sink.
