Custom Brass Kitchen Sinks: Timeless Elegance, Durability, and Antimicrobial Protection
Custom brass kitchen sinks offer a rare combination of aesthetic beauty and durability, making them an excellent choice for any kitchen.
At Rachiele, we craft our sinks from a domestic 70/30 brass alloy, which contains 70% copper. This high copper content gives brass its rich, golden color and allows it to naturally develop a stunning patina over time. The lower zinc content improves corrosion resistance and color stability compared to 60/40 brass, often referred to as Muntz
