Copper Canyon ~ Copper Tile
Artisan Made Tile – Copper Canyon Patina
Bring the deep warmth and dramatic character of aged copper into your space with these handmade copper-plated tiles. Each copper sheet is put through our unique alchemical patina process using carefully curated organic compounds, heat, time, and hand-applied techniques to transform the copper surface, creating a rich combination of burnished copper, bronze, amber, caramel, deep brown, golden ochre, rose copper, and subtle olive tones.
This patina is created through the same process as "Oceana", but all the color is washed away, leaving layers of aged copper and dark bronze that flow through glowing amber and golden-brown areas, while brighter flashes of rose and polished copper emerge throughout the surface. Unlike our more turquoise-forward patinas, this finish celebrates the natural warmth of copper, creating a sophisticated palette of earthy metallic tones. The warm, sophisticated palette works especially well in rustic, industrial, Old World, lodge, traditional, contemporary, and luxury interiors, pairing beautifully with natural wood, stone, leather, dark cabinetry, and other warm metals.
The handcrafted patina develops differently across every tile, producing natural variations in color, texture, and pattern. No two pieces are exactly alike. When installed together, these variations create a dramatic surface with the depth and movement of naturally weathered copper.
Each tile is hand-hammered smooth around the edges, giving the piece a subtly worked, artisan finish. Finally, the surface and edges are sealed with a clear epoxy coating, preserving the patina underneath and giving it a durable, finished surface while enhancing the copper, bronze, amber, and deep brown coloration underneath.
The standard, modular tile format makes these tiles easy to incorporate into both traditional and contemporary designs, while the genuine copper-plated finish gives them a distinctive industrial, rustic, and artistic character. No special tools or materials are needed for installation, as they can be cut and installed in the same fashion as traditional ceramic and porcelain tile. We do recommend using unsanded grout and cleaning with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.

The beauty is in the variation. Rather than a printed or repeated design, every tile is individually transformed by the patina process. These differences create a one-of-a-kind copper installation with the depth and movement of metal that cannot be duplicated by conventional manufactured tile.
Because these tiles are handmade and individually patinated, variations in color, pattern, texture, and finish are expected and are part of the character of the product.
