About Copper Hammered Process For people curious about how these copper pieces are made the following short description of the process should be useful. These bathtubs are made entirely from a few raw copper plates which have been previously softened with the heat from a wood fire and then, once the proper softness has been reached, they are welded one onto each other to be then carefully hammered until the desired copper tub shape is attained.The manufacturing of each of these tubs is a sculpting task for the artisans. They usually work in teams and by using their hammers and chisels they patiently shape the copper plates, inch by inch, into the desired form of a bathtub. Once the shape has been attained then they proceed to heat the entire copper tub and then “patina” is applied to the surface of the bathtub in order to protect it from water and the elements, making the lifetime of one of these tubs that of many years.For all those persons looking for an original piece of Mexican art to enhance their home. The acquisition of one of these beautiful and unique copper bathtubs should be one of the best choices they could make and at Casa Castillo they are ready to fulfill your order and help you through the process of ordering the copper bathtub model you prefer.
