Water walls As Indoor Furnishings

Water walls come in many sizes to fit any space. Whether you are looking for a picture sized water feature or need to fill an entire wall, many models are available. A wall mounted indoor water wall does not require the installation of additional plumbing behind your wall. These wall fountains are made as self-contained units requiring only the addition of distilled water periodically. Many water walls can be fitted with a auto fill attachment as an option if you would like to have an auto fill capable fountain. Our largest wall mounted fountains are the majestic triple paneled fountains. Bringing the sights and sounds of a large scale waterfall indoors is sure to impress. The chiseled edges of some slate wall mounted water features are incorporated into the water fountain to give the stone edges an appearance of being worn naturally by the elements over time. A water wall with a mirrored face can double as nicely framed mirror when the fountain is turned off.

Indoor wall mounted fountains for home decor come in a wide variety of frame metals and face options. The most common frame materials for waterfall walls are copper and stainless steel. Copper is used for several reasons. Copper has a beautiful color, can be marbled with various designs by applying heat, and is very soft making it easily formed and molded into the desired shape. Stainless steel matches many of the latest trends in home design including modern stainless steel appliances and contemporary decor with solid colors and simple lines. Metal frames can be powder coated in many different colors to suit your decor, or clear powder coated to let the metal shine through while protecting the metal from changing color due to moisture. Natural stone and wood can also be molded onto fountain frames to match your decor. In addition, metal workers can hammer artwork and various designs into the metal using it as a canvas.

A Water Wall For Home Decor

The water wall face material is the centerpiece of your fountain. This is the surface that the water flows over. Commonly used fountain materials include natural stone such as marble, slate, river pebbles and wall mirrors. For a more specialized look there are fountains with plain and textured metal and glass. The glass can be etched with nature scenes including birds, hills and flowers. Colored glass face panels can be used as well with many different scenes. In addition, a new proprietary process has enabled the use of thin veneers of slate to be molded to an artificial lightweight background. This process helps enable ease of wall mounting compared to solid slate slabs which can be quite heavy to lift and more expensive to ship. The use of this new lighter slate also opens the door for new water walls and designs. Fountain faces can be made curved using this new method which makes the water flow on the fountain easily visible from the sides as well as the front.

Another fountain material option is acrylic. Acrylic water features are lightweight and durable and wont break easily if dropped. Shipping damage is less likely with acrylic parts because they can be encased in expandable foam well for safe transit to you. They can be painted in many vibrant colors and have a very uniform modern look. The color of acrylic material and paint will not vary with each piece the way natural stone or patina copper does. Finally, semi-precious stones can be turned into fountains. Beautiful amethyst geode waterfalls are great for fountains. The hollow interior can act as a fountain basin with the water bubbling up at the base and an accent light sparkling against the crystal surface of the geode. Boulders can also be used where a hole is bored through the stone and the water is made to bubble up through the rock and out the top.
