Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A concrete water fountain | Concrete is cheaper and heavier but can crack and stain; stainless steel holds its finish and resists weathering |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass fountain | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be polished to a mirror and is less durable in direct sunlight |
| A bronze fountain | Bronze develops a patina over time; stainless steel maintains a clean, reflective surface without change |
| A corten steel fountain | Corten steel is chosen for its weathered look; stainless steel is chosen for a modern, clean, reflective appearance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard catalogue option
- Position the fountain where water flow can be heard and reflected in the surrounding space
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for water weight and wind load at large sizes
- Use 316 stainless steel if the garden is near the sea or exposed to winter de-icing salts
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
- Avoid abrasive cleaners on the surface; use water and a soft cloth to maintain the polish
