The brief for this project was simple: a zinc worktop for a kitchen island. Zinc is a stunning and practical choice for bespoke kitchen worktops, known for its natural patina and antibacterial properties. While copper offers a similarly luxurious alternative, zinc worktops provide a more subtle and contemporary feel, making them an excellent option for a range of kitchen styles.

As with all our bespoke projects, the design journey with our clients commenced and we explored all manner of design elements to be considered: what profile edge would they prefer, what finish, and what other features would our team need to incorporate?
The worktop would feature an undermounted double sink and holes for the fitting of the taps. This type of project requires a process whereby the zinc sheet is wrapped around and underneath the opening of the sink to ensure a watertight finish.
Complete with swage joints and a pencil edge profile (straight, with a slightly softened edge), the zinc was prepared in an antique patinated finish and incorporated five draining grooves with a gentle gradient towards the sink.
The result was sleek and contemporary – the perfect addition to our client’s light-filled London kitchen.

Zinc and copper worktops are not only visually striking but also practical, thanks to their natural antibacterial properties. While copper offers a rich, warm hue, zinc has a sleek, modern appeal—both making stunning alternatives to traditional work surfaces. To explore the options, please get in touch.
Choose from a range of finishes, from buffed and shiny edges to very dark antique patinas – our team of specialist finishers can work with you to get it just right! Did you know that we can even add small surface imperfections (such as dings and dents) to suggest wear and use and to also make any surface scratches or dents that are made through real use less noticeable!
We offer a range of worktop edge profiles – square edge, pencil edge (a softer alternative to straight edge) or bull nose (round). Should you prefer something totally different, we can often cater for the completely unique.
