Important Information About Zinc Tops
The YEOMAN range is topped with zinc, a traditional, old-fashioned work surface that’s designed to age.
The beauty of the surface emerges with use, oxidising to develop a natural blue/grey patina.
A non-porous material, zinc has natural anti-bacterial properties. As it’s relatively soft, slight dents and
abrasions come with any normal use of the metal, and are an intrinsic part of its character.
Zinc is a ‘living’ material, so marks or discolouration can result as reactions to its surrounding
environment. Reactive to acidic and alkaline foods and drinks (i.e. those containing vinegar, lemon juice, wine,
etc.) as well as other substances, even water and fingerprints can affect its look. Over time these marks blend
together, adding to the zinc top’s naturally developing patina – so don’t panic when you make your first mark!
However, it’s important to bear in mind that, as with any aging process, there can be an awkward stage
when the surface starts to look stained. Bear with it – the finish weathers to become beautiful.
