Wall Water Fountains- A Important Element of Feng Shui

By Nick

Feb

Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese practice of making sure objects are placed an arranged in a room to ensure harmony and the flow of positive energy. The term literally translates to “wind-water”.

The main elements to think about when using the principles of Feng Shui in decorating are:

• Earth
• Wind
• Water
• Fire
• Metal

How can incorporate all of these elements into your home. Earth, wind and metal are generally easy because of the many types of stones, fans and metals you can use in the furniture, flooring and decorative touches. Water and fire are sometimes harder choices to make, but you can have the element of fire simply by burning Soothing Candles.

Bring water into your home a Wall Water Fountain. These can be Free Standing Floor Fountains or smaller designs that you hang on a wall. Flowing water increases the positive energy, so just about any kind of fountain fits in well with Feng Shui. You can have a tabletop fountain in any room of your home.

Easy Installation Wall Water Fountain is not a challenging task. There are many lightweight designs available that only require one person for the job. While most people think of the living room wall as the only place in the home for such units, they work well in all rooms, especially the bedrooms.

The sound of falling water and the sight of the water continuously flowing over the wall background of your choice is the perfect relaxation method to help you fall asleep easily.

The sounds of falling water also help to drown out the sounds of the rest of the household and the outside. The lighting in a Indoor Wall Fountain will provide a nightlight for the room. As the light catches the reflections of the colors of the water it will provide an exciting contrast for the color scheme of the room.

In addition to bringing the positive energy of Feng Shui into your home with a wall water fountain, the water helps to humidify the indoor air. This is beneficial all year round decreasing the need for air conditioning in summer and humidifiers in winter.

During the winter, the heat you need to have in the home can cause your hair and skin to dry out. A  Water Fountain will add moisture to the air but not too much so that it will cause any condensation on the walls. This you get the relaxing benefit of falling water and the humidity that your skin and your plants require.

Have you ever thought of a Wall Fountain as a piece of art? The Art Wall Fountains can serve two purposes. Beautiful art in a relaxing environment.

The Galaxy Art Wall Fountains  are a one-of-kind, mesmerizing treat for the eyes and ears. With each fountain, the custom fine art picture is hand painted on the back of a strong, high-tech clear acrylic panel called lexan, and finished with a sealant to give complete protection against water and dampness. The acrylic panel is securely set within a heat finished copper frame and basin. The waterfall flows down the front (non-painted) side of the acrylic panel, into the pool of water in the copper basin, making beautiful, soothing water sounds. The visual look of this custom art fountain on the front side is the gorgeous painting, combined with the beautiful soothing water sounds, makes for a stunning, relaxing experience that you will absolutely enjoy and cherish for many years.

The artist can paint any art wall fountain you can dream in any size you desire.  He can also change the colors in the art waterfalls below to the color of your choice to create your very own custom home wall fountain.  Click here to request a custom water feature quote and view some of our custom fountains.

Many times people have asked me if we can build a Custom Water Feature using solar power. At this time we do not have the ability to use solar power in our Custom Fountains.

Our Solar Powered Water Fountains are smaller fountains with a small a small pump and solar panel.

But never say never as technology improves someday we may be making solar powered custom water fountains.

Add a logo to your Custom Water Fountain.

A Custom Water fountain logo is a great way to market your business. We have many examples to Personalize Your Wall Fountain with a logo.

Solid slate, lightweight slate and glass or mirror fountains can be customized and offer different logo options.  When you select your water feature, you will see a few different options for personalizing your fountain or adding a corporate logo. 

Solid slate or marble wall fountains:  When you choose a marble or slate wall fountain your logo will be etched right into the slate.  It can then be painted with the color of your choice.  Black works the best but virtually any color will work. 

Lightweight slate face fountain:  You have the option of a masked or raised logo for your lightweight wall fountain.  A masked logo is similar to painting.  Due to the thickness of the lightweight slate, only about 1/16″ to 1/8″ thick, it is not engraved into the slate but masked, blasted and painted with a very strong, durable, waterproof paint.  The other option for some lightweight slate fountains is a raised logo.  The logo is actually placed on acrylic and raised off the slate with pegs. 

Mirrored face or glass fountains: If you decided on a glass or mirrored face wall fountain, you can have your logo etched on the glass or apply vinyl logos.

Custom Wall Fountains. What are you Slate choices.

When building a Custom Wall Fountain you have many choices for the water fall face material. Today we will discuss  Slate Wall Fountains.  Later we will discuss Glass and Mirror Wall Fountain and Marble Wall Fountains.

 

Slate is a stone material generally imported from India. Because it is a natural stone each piece of slate is unique in its look. The slate comes in two types. Lightweight Slate Wall Fountains and Solid Slate Wall Fountains. The Solid Slate is about one inch thick and is a heavy stone. One piece of slate can weigh 100 pounds to over 300 pounds. The Lightweight slate is a thin slice of the slate, about 1/16″ to 1/8″. There is a  process of removing this thin slice and applying it to a hard backing.  Looking at the lightweight slate from the front it looks just like the solid slate without the weight. The Lightweight Slate piece will weight about 10% of the solid piece. So the comparable weight is 10 pounds for a 100 pound solid slate piece.

The slate comes in many colors. See Slate face options. Here are other Slate face options.

All these slate options are available for Custom Wall Fountains and Commercial Wall Fountains.

This slate can also be on Slate Floor Fountains.

Free Floating Inside a Wall

This concept is becoming more popular each year. What is a Free Floating water feature? What types are there? How does it work?

Free Flaoting Wall Fountain

 

Free Floating Floor Fountain

 

 

Here is a Free Floating Floor Fountain
The name “free floating’ means the water flows over the glass without the supporting side rails. The glass is “floating”.
Without the side rails to support the glass we need to run the plumbing from the bottom base behind the wall up to the top water distribution unit. The plumbing is used to recirculate the water.
Custom Water Features add value to your home and office.

Do you need a Water Auto Fill, Filter and Overflow Drain System for Your Custom Water feature?

This is one option that you would like to have if you have access to a water line and drain that is close to your water feature. Here is how it works.

Water line auto fill and filter

Water line auto fill and filter

 

 First you have your Plumber run a 1/4″ water line to your water feature. You will notice on the picture a  copper water line that we have on the water feature. You will connect this water line to yours. Next you see the water flows into the filter. This filter is to remove minerals from your water. This will help prevent white scale build up.

 

 

Filter and Float

Next you will see the water exiting the filter and the float. The float works just like the one in your toilet. As the water level lowers the float will activate the flow of new water. The water level will lower as the water evaporates into the air.

 

Over Flow Drain

Next we will install an overflow drain. This is needed incase there was something mechanically wrong with your float. If the water keeps running like it does in your toilet sometimes; the water will over flow into the drain instead onto your floor.

Finally this picture shows the overflow drain exiting the fountain. This one exits from the bottom; we can also exit from the side or rear of the fountain. Your plumber will just hook this up to the overflow drain and run the water away from the fountain into your sewage system

 

The system will reduce the maintenance of your fountain. You will not have to manually add water several times a week as the water evaporates. The filter reduces white scale build up on the fountain.

I would recommend this if you have access to your water line and drain for all Custom Wall Fountain and Custom Floor Fountains. This works great with Commercial Water Fountains too.

Tempered Glass for your Custom Water Feature

By Nick

Many times people ask me about glass. Can it break easy? How do you clean it? How does it react to heat?

The glass we use is normally 3/8″ tempered glass, This is very hard to break. It will not shatter like glass you have on your home windows. More like glass on your auto.

For cleaning glass on water fountains we suggest you use Jazz Glass Cleaner. This product is great for removing oils that may build up and restrict water flow.

The tempered glass is heat resistant glass. This glass is heat-treated or leached to remove alkali so that it withstands high heat and sudden cooling without shattering.

We have many Floor Water Fountains with Glass.  Just a great addition to your life.
