Fountain Styles

Add ambiance to any room with beautiful wall fountains. There are currently have many styles to choose from in a wide variety of frame materials and waterfall face choices. Water walls come in many sizes to fit any space. Whether you are looking for a picture sized feature or need to fill an entire wall, many models are available.

Wall Fountains

These waterfalls easily mount to an indoor wall. They are self contained fountains, meaning they need to be filled and replenished with water periodically. The use of distilled water is always recommended for any type of fountain because distilled water will prevent the build up of mineral and calcium deposits on the fountains surface which is normally contained in untreated tap water. Wall waterfalls are a beautiful addition to any room and add visual and auditory excitement to any area. Many fountain come with built in accent lighting which will illuminate the surrounding area and serve as a beautiful night light, enabling the waterfall to be seen in the daytime as well as during the night.

Indoor Waterfalls

Large scale indoor waterfalls can come as floor standing models. These type of fountains can be moved around according to need and have the benefit of not being anchored to one location. Also, they do not require modification or screwing into the existing wall. These large water fountains are often used as room dividers in large open space floor plans like a loft or showroom. They simulate make shift walls which separate a space into sections. A glass or mirror faced indoor water fountain enables light to enter and pass through the water feature so It reflects light back into the room and does not darken the space.

There are also available waterfalls with solid stainless steel, solid copper and mesh screens. Floor waterfalls can often include an auto fill system. This system will enable the water fountains to be refilled with water automatically when it is low from the water supply of the building. A large fountain requires a lot of water because the water will evaporate out as the fountain runs, so an auto fill will save time and freedom from checking the water level in the long run.

Tabletop Fountains

Tabletop fountains are the smallest water features available. Because of their size and reasonable price, they are easily given as gifts. They fit almost anywhere and are easy to assemble and install. The only requirements are to add water and plug them into a wall outlet. Many table fountains come with natural materials such as slate, marble, crystals and accent stones. They can be personalized with your own trinkets which will adjust the look and water sound of the fountain. A water fountains is great to have on your desk at work as a relaxation tool, as a diversion between phone calls and for a relaxing sound during meetings.

Garden Fountains

Garden fountains have been around throughout history. These outdoor water fountains have been made by famous sculptors in marble, glass and many other materials. Today, new materials have been developed out of lightweight materials which enable modern residences to have fountains in their gardens and yards without having to hire a sculptor and many people to install and position a water fountain. For those who cannot afford a true marble garden sculpture fountain, glass fiber reinforced concrete is available which looks and feels very similar to stone, yet is lightweight, easily shipped and installed and is long lasting.
