SLATE INDOOR FOUNTAINS - A DELIGHT TO THE SENSES
Slate water fountains are made of slate stone which is a weather proof and rustic stone of the highest quality. Indoor slate water fountains may be wall mounted or may stand on their own. Smaller fountains designed to be placed on tables or holders are called tabletops and larger models that are placed on the ground are floor fountains.
Slate is naturally beautiful when polished and the sheen of flowing water only enhances the aesthetic. Colors, hues and textures of the slate stone are varied. Some truly creative pieces have been made over the years - some that incorporate artwork into the design and others that combine different stones and rocks for a more natural appearance (a truly stunning variation being the slate copper fountain).
Benefits of Slate Fountains
Slate fountains are a delight to the senses, both visually and aurally. Visually speaking, not only is the slate itself beautiful in appearance, but with added lighting and color effects, the entire fountain can be quite a show. The sound of rushing water is also a pleasant distraction. The sound of a waterfall can be relaxing and can enhance concentrative abilities in a person. Lastly, indoor slate water fountains are natural humidifiers.
What Separates Slate Stone From The Rest
Slate indoor water fountains are heavier than other wall mounted fountains simply because slate is real stone. For this reason they are also priced higher than typical wall waterfalls and floor fountains. Some water features reach in excess of $5,000 for a large unit.
Most high quality models offer a “whisper quiet” device, that keeps the same sound of running water but quiets the whispering noise that sometimes accompanies a pump device. These natural slate fountains are highly collectible, individually designed, and a relaxing amenity to add to any home or business. Indoor slate water fountains are a delight to all your senses.
