Waterfall Face Material for Your Custom Water Fountain

What is face material? It is where the water runs on the water fountain. What are some of the most popular face material?

Lets start with the slate. There is lightweight slate wall fountains and solid slate wall fountains.  The major difference between these two slates are the weight. The solid slate is about 1″ to 1 1/2″ thick. it will weigh about 120 to 300 pounds depending on the size. The light weight slate is a thin slice of the solid slate, 1/8″  to 1/16″ thick. This is then attached to a hard backing board. From the front of the fountain this slate will look like the solid. Just the sides look different.

 

Next week have Glass or Mirror wall fountains and Floor fountains with glass or mirror. This is a smooth slick surface that was can shine on. The glass or mirror comes in many colors and textures too.

Acrylic face material has been exciting. The water just dances on the surface.

Top frame material options for a custom waterfall

When building a custom waterfall you have two decisions on the material you use. What material should you use for the frame and what material for the waterfall face.

 I will tackle the frame material options now.  The most popular are the copper and stainless steel frames. These are standard material on many water features.

 Gaining in popularity has been the powder coating of the frame. When powder coating you can make the frame almost any color you would like.  You can make this match just about any décor you would like.
