Pewter is a malleable, yet durable and non-porous material which makes it great for countertops, bars and range hoods. Over time your surface will develop a unique pattern of use. Areas more frequently used will appear smoother and lighter, whereas areas less often will appear darker. Acidic liquids such as lemon juice may remove patina whereas other liquids may add to it. The patina will change and develop over time and can be removed as well. Pewter will not rust. Pewter surfaces are not meant to be monolithic surfaces; light scratches, pinholes and soldering marks are to be expected on the surface. These slight imperfections give this artisanal metal it's charm. Hammered pewter will have a wavy undulated surface and will not be machine flat. Depending on the dimensions, a non-welded butt seam or silicone filled field joint will be used on site.

Pewter is a wonderful surface for kitchen countertops, bar tops, backsplashes and range hoods. Pewter can also be used for paneling such as that of a fireplace facade.

Pewter is available in a matte finish or mirror-polished finish. We are also able to add patina to your surface cutting the time needed to naturally form patina. No coating or lacquer is applied to pewter surfaces.

Thickness: We use 18-Gague sheet (aprox. 1/16" thick). The sheets are bonded to solid waterproof MDF and can be built up to your desired thickness. Edges can be built up to any thickness, although 1-1/2" is standard.

Pewter is a very soft metal and can be prone to scratches. If you wish to minimize scratch marks and preserve your knife blades we encourage you to use a cutting board for chopping. Always use a hot plate or trivet when placing hot items on your pewter surface.

We can fabricate a custom integral (rectangular or square) sink and weld it into the surface to make a seamless design. We can also under-mount or cut-in any sink that you provide. Holes for faucets and accessories such as hot water inserts and soap dispensers are all possibilities.

Typically our lead-times are 4-12 weeks (seasonally adjusted) to fabricate your product from the time we receive your approved shop drawings.
