Antique Copper Table Tops
With the new Antique Copper table tops, the rustic charm of hammered copper is now able to stand up to the worst weather.

Superior construction materials and craftsmanship techniques make the Antique Copper table top the ultimate choice in both beauty and durability. First, a layer of actual liquid metal is laid onto a mold taken directly from a hand hammered copper table top. The mold is then back filled with a fiberglass resin filler perfect for the outdoor environment. An aging stain is then applied to the metal surface to give the Antique Copper Table top its aged look. Finally, a super scratch resistant Nano-Coating sealer typically used on automotive finishes is applied to prevent the metal from reacting with the elements and retail its beautiful aged look. The Nano-Coating also has several UV resisting qualities as well to protect the top from sun damage.

"The timeless beauty of hand hammered copper combined with the advanced protection of the Nano-Coating comes together perfectly for elegant outdoor setting." said Terri Lee Rogers, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing. (Click here to view details for the Antique Copper Table Tops)
