The Copper Argument for the Outdoor Bar
Copper is the material of the great bar tradition — the metal of the distillery, the brewery, the cocktail bar, the great establishments of the drinks world.
Copper is the metal of the drinks tradition. The copper still, the copper vat, the copper pipe, the copper cocktail shaker — copper has been at the center of the drinks tradition for centuries. The copper panel behind the outdoor bar is not a decorative addition. It is the material that has always been part of the bar tradition — the metal that belongs behind the bottles.
Copper makes the bottles look better. The warm tone of copper behind the bottles makes every bottle look more considered — the warm metal background that makes the display of drinks feel as considered as a professional bar installation. The outdoor bar with a copper back panel is not just a bar. It is a display — the bottles as objects against a warm copper background.
Copper is weather-resistant. The outdoor bar is a fully exposed outdoor environment — the direct sun, the rain, the frost, the seasonal temperature changes. The UV-resistant, weather-resistant outdoor lacquer finish on Natuross outdoor copper panels resists the full outdoor exposure of the bar environment.
Copper is easy to clean. The bar environment — the splash, the spill, the daily marks of the drinks service — is the most demanding surface environment in the outdoor catalog. The copper surface wipes clean — the splash, the spill, the daily marks of the bar removed with a damp cloth.

"The bar back panel and the bar name sign changed the entire outdoor bar. Every gathering, every evening with guests, the copper makes the outdoor bar feel as considered as a professional establishment — the warm metal behind the bottles, the bar name permanent in copper above the drinks. The outdoor bar went from a counter with bottles on it to a destination. The copper made it serious." — Natuross customer
