Why Choose Copper Countertops?
These countertops are highly durable and resistant to heat, scratches, and stains, making them ideal for heavy-duty use in kitchens. Their natural properties ensure they maintain their pristine appearance for years. Beyond practicality, their timeless and upscale look adds a touch of elegance to any kitchen, making them a perfect addition for homeowners aiming to elevate their interior design.
How Are They Made?
Each hand-hammered copper countertop from Mexports Inc. is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans in Mexico. The process begins with copper sheets cut into panels. These are then heated and hammered to achieve the signature textured finish. Afterward, the copper is cleaned, sealed to resist oxidation, and polished to perfection.
Mexports Inc. offers two standard finishes:
- Natural Finish (Brownish tones)
- Oxidized Patina (Verdigris/Turquoise)
You can also customize the sheen—choose from Satin, Semi-Gloss, or High Gloss. The result is a stunning, durable product that will add character and charm to your kitchen for years to come.

Copper is prized for its exceptional versatility and durability. Hand-hammered copper countertops:

Whether you prefer a modern or traditional look, there’s a hammered copper option to suit your style. These countertops not only serve as functional surfaces but also as statement pieces, creating a focal point in any kitchen.
How to Care for Copper Countertops
To keep your countertops looking their best, follow these maintenance tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Use warm water and mild dish soap to remove dirt or residue. Dry the surface with a soft cloth to avoid water spots.
- Polishing: Apply a copper-safe polish periodically to prevent tarnish and maintain shine. Always follow the product’s instructions.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Refrain from using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish and cause discoloration.
