Hello Pamela,

Zinc is extremely durable, making it a desirable surface material. Zinc is used in countertops, range hoods, roofing, flashing and artistic designs. Zinc's timeless patina makes it a stunning material for many architectural designs, from traditional to contemporary, blending beautifully with other materials.

Zinc is a metal that has a number of characteristics that make it an ideal choice for use in busy kitchens and restaurants. Zinc's natural properties provide years of virtually maintenance-free usage. In addition, zinc's blue-gray and brown patina blends beautifully with most building materials and surroundings, both in contemporary and traditional settings. Additionally, zinc is non-porous, anti-microbial and anti-bacterial. Zinc is also 100% food safe. It has a smooth surface that is easy to clean an maintain.

Zinc is a living alloy which responds to its environment. Changes in the hue of the table tops will happen naturally with use. A patina, or darkening, will occur over time. Keep in mind that while different foods and beverages may make a mark on the countertop, because these metals are non-porous, it is virtually stain resistant. Marks that do appear, fade and blend over time.

I hope this helps, be sure to visit our website for more zinc countertop inspirations! Also, don't hesitate to ask for any additional information.

All the best,

Ryan

Is this truly a "cast" zinc or rather a zinc wrapped top?
