Slate Fountains
Slate fountains are becoming more and more popular due to their durability, efficiency in
terms of room space, and also the elegance that they add to any wall indoors or outdoors. The
greatest advantage of utilizing a slate fountain in your home or business is that it takes up very
little overall space in the area that it is installed in, despite its size or complexity! The reason for
this is that slate fountains completely envelope the wall that they are installed on, and therefore
cuts floor space occupation by as much as 80%.
Slate fountains act like a dynamic painting or moving work of art on the wall that they are
installed upon. Yes, it's true that a picture is worth a thousand words...but just imagine the impact
that a moving piece of artwork would have! – The aesthetic appeal that this type of fountain
brings, knows no bounds.
The craftsmanship that goes into creating this masterpieces is also very interesting. Slate
fountains utilize gravity to flow water downwards into a collecting basin which then redirects
water upwards from behind the fountains backbone by a pump. The water once again cycles
downward in a never ending spectacle for the eyes!
Not only do slate fountains function as eye-candy, but the tranquil sounds they create with
the flowing water create a real meditative experience for watchers! Different fixtures and
indentations in the medium used to create the slate create different sounds as water rushes
downward through these protrusions and indentations.
When being utilized outside, the medium used to create the slate is very durable such as
granite or marble. Indoor slate fountains can also utilize these mediums but can also use cheaper
polished imitations which serve the exact same purpose but with the economic advantages.
Stainless steel is also utilized for modern basin designs for a sleek architectural finish.
