Healthy Living with Copper
Native Trails' bowls have antibacterial properties that help keep your kitchen sanitary

San Luis Obispo, CA – April 2005. Native Trails’ line of handcrafted copper basins gives you one more reason to fall in love with copper – its antibacterial nature. Copper’s antibacterial properties effectively fight the growth of many micro-organisms and bacteria such as E-coli.

With this knowledge, many hospitals are switching to copper surfaces to prevent the spread of illness due to cross-contamination between medical staff and patients. In food preparation, the traditional stainless surfaces allow for the viable pathogens to survive for weeks, where copper’s natural antimicrobial effects kill the dangerous bacteria in a matter of hours in wet or dry conditions.

Native Trails’ basins are beautiful in design yet practical in nature. Their Kitchen Collection gives a room a comfortably luxurious feel, while naturally safeguarding from illness. Even the health of the planet comes to mind as their basins are made from recycled copper. Copper’s incredible resistance to corrosion is visible through the many copper antiquities remaining in museums worldwide – thus the lifespan of copper enduring through the ages.

Native Trails’ extensive line of hand hammered copper basins, tubs, and accessories is sold through kitchen and bath showrooms in the US and Canada. Native Trails is known for its high standards of quality and craftsmanship, superior customer service, and unusually short lead times.
