The Copper Argument for the Outdoor Shower Area
Copper is the material of the water tradition — the metal that has always been associated with the flow of water, the material of the great plumbing and bathing traditions of the world.
Copper is antimicrobial. The outdoor shower environment — the warm water, the humidity, the constant moisture — is the most biologically active outdoor surface environment in the catalog. Copper inhibits the growth of bacteria, mould, and algae — the organisms that thrive in the warm, wet environment of the outdoor shower. The copper panel in an outdoor shower area is not just beautiful. It is the correct material choice for the wet outdoor environment.
Copper is alive in the water. The hammered surface of a copper panel is most alive in the presence of water — the warm metal catching and reflecting the light through the water, the surface that makes the outdoor shower feel as considered as the indoor bathroom it mirrors. The copper panel beside the outdoor shower is not just weather-resistant. It is water-beautiful — the material that becomes most itself in the presence of the element it has always been associated with.
Copper is warm. The warm tone of copper makes the outdoor shower area feel as considered as the indoor bathroom it mirrors — the material that bridges the therapeutic and the aesthetic, the warm metal in the water space. The copper panel in an outdoor shower area does not just decorate the wall. It changes the atmosphere of the entire space — the outdoor shower that was functional becomes considered, the outdoor shower area that was practical becomes designed.
Copper develops a natural patina in the shower environment. The constant moisture and the outdoor atmosphere of the shower area accelerate the natural patina development of copper — the surface developing most dramatically in the wet outdoor environment. The Blue Copper and Green Copper finishes reference the natural patina of copper in the presence of water — the most outdoor-shower-specific finishes in the catalog.

"The fern panel on the back wall and the shower niche back panel changed the entire outdoor shower. Every morning shower in the open air, every rinse after the pool, the copper makes the outdoor shower feel as considered as an indoor bathroom — the warm metal in the water, the hammered surface alive in the flow of the shower. The outdoor shower went from a hose in the garden to the most elemental room in the home. The copper made it an experience." — Natuross customer
