Whether you want to create an Old World atmosphere or a cutting-edge modern backdrop, Wall Fountains are available that will compliment your style. Wall fountains can often turn a blank wall or unsightly fence into the focal point of your yard or garden, or they can be used indoors to help create a relaxing and elegant effect. Often times wall fountains are used in an office setting to create a very relaxing atmosphere.

Wall Fountain makes and Styles

When shopping for wall fountains you can choose from traditional wall fountains made of durable, light fiberglass that looks exactly like stone, or  you may select a backlit, futuristic wall fountain that is sure to be a great conservation piece for your next outdoor dinner party!  The amount of wall fountain styles on the market is endless, and choosing the right wall fountain for your location and individual tastes is very important. Lion Head wall fountains have long been popular for the garden, as they have a robust old world look to them.

Wall Fountains used as Humidifiers

Using wall fountains indoors is becoming more popular, as people look to bring peace and harmony to the indoors. In using a wall fountain indoors most people do not realize that they are adding a great humidifier to their house as well as a work of art. A typical wall fountain can easily place a gallon or two of water into the air of a house during a single winter day. During cold winter days, with a furnace running at its peak capacity, even more water can be transfered to the air from wall fountains.

Wall Fountain Maintenance

Wall fountain maintenance is much simplier than the average garden fountain or waterfall because of several factors. The key to any fountain, wall fountains included, is to run a fountain as often as possible as the moving water will not become stagnant and will not become filled with algae. By simlpy running a wall fountain 24 hours a day you will find the typical wall fountain will never need any extensive cleaning. If water is allowed to sit in the fountain for a long period without running you may notice a white substance build up on the wall fountain, this is caused by lime and can easily be cleaned with a lime-cleaner that will be available at any local grocery store.
