COPPER TUB INFORMATION

Copper has been used for bath tubs for centuries in Europe. Minimax Kitchen & Bath Gallery is pleased to introduce our extensive line of hand made copper tubs. Each one is painstakingly hammered from a single piece of copper by artisans using centuries old hand hammering techniques. No two tubs of the same basic design are exactly alike due to the uniqueness of the craft.

Tubs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. If you do not see what you want here, call us for help. We can have any piece made to your specifications! Also, we may have it, but it just isn't on the Web site.

Copper and Health - "Copper (as well as brass and other copper alloys), when used as building hardware, plumbing tube, utensils, item of daily use and as ions injected directly into potable water, is a significant deterrent to the contraction of disease by the reduction of bacteria and viruses in healthcare facilities. Copper is especially effective in controlling Legionella pneumophila, the bacterium responsible for Legionnaires’ disease." as quoted from an article under Heading - Copper Applications in Health & Environment Area by INNOVATIONS - the online magazine from Copper Development Association (CDA) at www.copper.org
