by George Harris


Add beauty and allure to any room using water wall fountains. Developers and designers like to use water wall features as part of the decor when designing a house or business office. Not only do water wall fountains put charm but they also offer you comforting water sound to calm and relax you daily. Water wall features are available in a lot of lovely materials such as copper mineral, metal, slate, marble, glass as well as resin.

The indoor fountains can be used inside the home and offices and it's safe. It's an important distinction to make since you will want to have an indoor fountain rated for an indoor power source and will want to ensure that it will not splash. Outdoor fountains also generate over spray or have longer and tougher cords that will not look as good in your home.

Wall fountains are made with a variety of stone types that are both beautiful and functional. Natural slate is one of the most popular stones but marble and featherstone slate is also available. The different stone types each have their own particular character, which may appeal to certain buyers. One thing they all have in common is their variation resulting from the natural materials they are composed of. No two natural stones are the same and this is what makes them unique.

Natural slate is the traditional material that has been around since wall fountain inception. The classic slate fountains are thicker solid pieces of stone, which have a cracked edge on the vertical sides. This chipped edge technique showcases the depth of the stone and even provides it with a natural rustic look. The shades available on natural slate differ with time as different quarries are examined and different depths within the earth are reached. A newer material for fountain stone is marble. Marble wall fountains are usually more striking and bolder than slate. In addition to coloring, the existing marble used has petrified tree roots in the stone that show up wonderfully when the marble is cut and polished to a smooth flat surface. The two marble colors on the market with the petrified roots are green rainforest and brown rainforest.

In the current consumer market there is a requirement for wall fountains that can be simply and quickly set up in a minimum amount of time. One way to achieve this ease is by lowering the weight of the stone, which enable the fountain to be installed by one person instead of several. The lightweight also facilitates mounting since there is less a need to find as much wall studs to back up the weight of the water feature.
