With a desire of other cultures and craftsmanship, Novatto is a trusted name with contemporary, transitional, and traditional designs.

Description
Combining tradition with modern design, the Malaga is constructed from recycled copper by our master artisans in Mexico. Through years of experience passed down from generations past, the result is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Made from extra-thick 14-gauge copper, the Malaga has a rich natural living finish and its patina will continue to develop character over time, creating a unique look of complementary dark and reddish tones. Due to the handcrafted nature of this product, not only may the dimensions vary up to ¼, the appearance, finish, texture, and hammering may vary as well. Made with the highest standards of quality and creative design, Novatto sinks add art and function to any bath or powder room.
Copper has a soft luxurious look and is amazingly easy to maintain. Fingerprints do not show as they will on stainless steel and other metals. For basic cleaning, simply use soap and water.
Standard 1.5-inch drain for U.S. plumbing connections. Additional purchase of Novatto oil rubbed bronze strainer drain offered: (STD-ORB) And may we suggest Novatto's matching oil rubbed bronze faucet (BM-359ORB) to beautifully complement this sink.

Installation & Parts
We recommend our products be installed and serviced by a licensed professional plumber or contractor to avoid any improper installation. Warranty is automatically void if any product has been tampered with, improperly installed, altered, or damaged due to misuse or abuse during installation.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Copper has been used for thousands of years and is easy to maintain since it does not show fingerprints as stainless steel and other metals would. For basic cleaning, simply use a mild soap and water as other cleaners typically are not necessary. Products such as Renaissance Wax or Flitz Wax may be applied to the copper surface periodically to give it lasting protection. These suggested seals will help maintain the luster of the copper and provide better water runoff. Leave the water running while working with acidic foods or pastes to avoid any reaction.
Copper is a living metal and the patina of our Antique and Natural finishes will all naturally continue to patina over time; meaning they may become a richer, darker color. However, if you would like to keep the copper sink looking like it did when first installed, we recommend waxing the sink every 2-3 months. Our copper sinks are not lacquered or sealed in the manufacturing process and will react to their environment as they develop character. If acidic items such as lemons, ketchup, or red wine sit on these finishes for an extended period of time the finish may be affected, but since copper is a living metal it will heal or re-patina itself over time; often in a matter of days. The beauty of copper is it is ever changing and no two pieces are ever alike giving you a one of a kind work of art!
Warning: Copper sinks can be harmed using some copper cleaners. Copper cleaners can scratch the surface and be abrasive on a copper sink. Also, do not use corrosives such as chlorine, concentrated vinegar or abrasive cleaners.

Warranty
Novatto products have been made under the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality. Due to the natural character of our handcrafted copper products and artisan process, variations in dimensions, color, surface, hue, hammering uniformity and finishes are expected and not considered defects. These variations are more evident in our “natural finish” where some pieces will have variable areas of more black or brown. Novatto offers no warranty with respect to the finishes on the copper products, as the living finishes naturally change over time. Novatto’s copper sinks offer a warranty for defects in workmanship and/or materials for all of our collections when the product was purchased through an authorized Novatto dealer.
Under no circumstance will Novatto or Novatto Inc. be held responsible for any damage as a result during or after product installation. We will not be responsible for any labor or installation charges, or any other expenses associated with a defective product. Novatto’s only responsibility is the replacement, exchange, or repair of a defective product.
If you believe you have a warranty claim, contact Novatto, either through your local Dealer, Plumbing Contractor, Home Center, or by writing: Novatto, Inc., Attn.: Product Support, 3533 E. Corona Ave., Phoenix, AZ, 85040, USA. Please be sure to provide all pertinent information regarding your claim, including a complete description of the problem, the product, model number, color, finish, the date the product was purchased and from whom the product was purchased. Also include your original invoice. For other information, or to obtain the name and address of the service and repair facility nearest you, email: support@novattoinc.com or write to the above address.
Since copper is a living material each piece is unique and one of a kind. Due to the unique handcrafted art of Novatto’s copper products, the tolerance in size of our sinks is +/-0.5” and for our bathtubs it is +/-1.0”. To be sure Novatto’s product fits perfectly in your home; we recommend purchasing the product first and fabricate according.
Warning: Do not use corrosives such as chlorine, vinegar, abrasive cleaners, copper cleaners, and citric acids like lemon or orange juice, harsh chemicals or anything with ammonia or acid. These substances may remove the patina finish of a copper sink. However, if an acidic product removes some of the patina, do not worry the patina will return over time due to its living properties.

FAQ
1. Will my copper product from Novatto turn color over time?
-Novatto’s finish is not waxed or sealed. Since copper is a living material it can tarnish or darken with time. Remember, copper will always react to how it is used and its surrounding environment.
2. Do your copper sinks have overflows?
-No, none of our copper sinks have overflow holes.
3. Considering these are handmade what differences should I expect?
-All our copper sinks are handmade from natural copper so variations in color or size are common. A size allowance of 1/2-inch is expected.
4. What gauge of copper is used in my copper sink?
-All of Novatto’s copper vessels are a 14 gauge copper, some of the thickest on the market today.
5. What is Patina or a Living Finish?
-The beauty of copper is its livingfinish or patina. It builds overtime and works as a protective coating. The patina is a rich weathered finish with light and dark tones complementing each other and creating the unique effect of copper. It is also what gives copper its natural anti-bacterial properties. Certain chemicals can strip the patina. These products will remove the finish leaving your sink shiny: Soft Scrub, Drano, Clorox Bleach, or Acids. However, because it is a living finish, it will heal itself. Over time, the copper sink will gradually return to the rich brown color and cover up spots or scratches.
