Placing a wall fountain in your home or office is perfect for adding beauty and peaceful sounds in your environment. There are many styles available and since your purchase will most likely happen online it is very important to consider these five things before you purchase your wall mounted water fountain:

1. Wall Fountain Surface Material
2. Trim Style
3. Layout (horizontal or vertical)
4. Cost of the Wall Fountain
5. Installation

Wall fountains can come in several different surface materials, you can chose from Slate, Marble, Mirror, and Metal.  Slate is available in dfferent colors (Green, Black, and Rajah are the main colors but there are different variations of each of those surface material for your water fountain.  There are light weight materials available to keep the weight down on your fountain if this is an issue or concern, however the full slate versions will have deeper colors in the slate.Trim Style can define your wall mounted fountain.  the most popular options are Stainless Steel, Copper, Copper Vein and Black Copper.  The trim color of your water feature will help blend your fountain style to your surrounding decor.Vertical or Horizontal wall fountains are available, it will mainly depend on your space available to hang your water feature.Cost of the fountain is obviously a huge factor to consider when purchasing your wall fountain.  Some people might become a little sticker shock when looking at water fountains, but don’t be fooled in purchasing a cheaper wall fountain that might be prone to leaking or have poor craftsmanship. Lastly, some wall fountains install in as few as 3 steps, some take a little more work.  Most retailers will have the installation guide that they can email to you so you can determine if the fountain can be easily installed on your wall.  However, most manufactures are not going to create a water fountain that is impossible to install.  If you have any questions please contact the retailer with any questions.

Professional offices, spas, and salons are some of the most popular places that Wall Fountains are found. The one problem seems to occur time after time is the fact that rarely is there a fountain already in production that fits the space allocated for these wall water features. In a professional setting it is imperative that the water feature not only fits the space that it is in, but also matches the decor of the office or spa. Don’t let this minor set back keep you from creating the perfect atmosphere in your work place. There are a few companies out that that can make custom wall fountains, and floor fountains for that matter, for you. This is a great way to not only match the dimensions of your wall space, but also use the surface material and trim of your choice. You can have your wall mounted fountain made out of slate, marble, glass or even mirrored surface. Along with this you can also accent your fountain with the metallic finish that will match your decor perfectly.

The other option that you have in the cusomization of the perfect wall fountain for your office is putting your business’ logo on the surface. All custom wall fountains, and most production , can be customized with any logo or graphic. On stone surfaces the logo will most likely be etched into the surface and filled in with an epoxy while mirror and glass surfaced water features will either be an acrylic sticker or an acid etching. This is the perfect way to customize your professional setting with a natural feel.

We get many questions week after week about how to take care of your indoor wall mounted fountain. Many people are concerned about how they are going to keep their wall fountain clean and running smooth if they are going to mount it way up high on the wall. Many people want to know the difference in upkeep between a mirror or glass surfaced wall fountain and a slate or marble wall mounted fountain. It is time that we put your minds at ease.

First, there is virtually no difference between taking care of a glass or mirror surface and the slate and marble surfaced wall water features. They are both very easy to take care of. The water itself is the first line of deffense in protecting the surface of your wall fountain. The water keeps any dust and dirt particles from settling on the surface.  However, as you know water itself can be a harbor for algae or bacteria to grow depending on the temperature and climate of your specific geographic region. This is the thing that intimidates most wall fountain buyers, however it is actually a very simple fix. Most retailers sell a solution that you put in the water tank of your fountain that keeps the water clear of all algae and bacteria. I recommend Protec for indoor water fountains. All you need to do is put a cap full in every time that you add a significant amount of water into the fountain. That brings me to my last point about fountain care. Tap water in different regions of the country can be much harder than in other regions. The best way to protect your water feature from hard water marks is to use distilled water, however this can be time consuming and expensive. Protec, and other solutions, will protect against hard water marks as well. The main point is that using a small amount of these inexpensive solutions makes caring for your wall fountain quick and easy, which makes appreciating your beautiful fountain so much better.

In my years of experience with water features I have been involved with the manufacturing, installation, and sales of all kinds of fountains. As well as being part of the industry, I am also a consumer. I am lucky enough to be privy to information that keeps me up on the new designs and great deals as soon as they hit the market. One thing that I have learned in my many years of experience is that we are coming up on a great time of the year to purchase Wall Fountains. This is the time of year that manufacturers offer some of their lowest prices. These Wall Water Fountain manufacturers are making their last push before the end of the year, and are trying to sell as much of their inventory as possible. For example most of Adagio Water Features Wall Fountains have a rebate on them from anywhere between $50 and $150 on top of discounted pricing. Another deal is being offered by Fountains of Living waters on their Desert Mirage Wall Water Fountain on sale for $120 - $270 off depending on size. So the point is that if you are thinking about getting a Wall Mounted Fountain anytime in the near future, this is the time to jump on it. Keep your eyes peeled for deals on the fountain that you have been eying, and when it goes on sale pounce on it. Believe me, prices on these types of fountains are the lowest at this time of the year.
