Filigree Water Wall

The irregular latticework of verdigris bronze, behind which water flows over a reflective mirror-polished stainless steel surface. It draws inspiration from the relationship between solid and void, which is emphasised through the artwork’s rich materials and patterns.

Lighting can be used to dramatic effect, creating an ethereal glow as light emanates from the apertures in the bronze.

Lattice Water Wall- Verdegris Bronze & Stainless Steel

As with all our work the ability to design a bespoke piece provides us with a rich and very enjoyable opportunity to create something unique for the client.

Product information

Our water walls can be set up in various ways depending upon whether a reservoir tank or basin is supplied with the piece. The water wall stands on a support in the reservoir tank or basin and water circulates with the use of a pump. Tanks can be supplied with the ability to connect to a water top up and contain a drain and overflow for safety and ease of maintenance. Softened water should be used to avoid any issue with limescale build up.

Generally, there are three ways our water walls can be installed and set up. This is dependent upon the overall look you would like to achieve, together with what the site actually allows for. Water walls should be positioned against a wall to give better stability overall.

Place the piece on a support and use a below ground reservoir tank, which requires an excavated smooth and level foundation pad.
Place the piece on a support and use a polished, clad, or painted above ground reservoir tank which requires a smooth and level foundation pad or terrace. These are typically used where large excavation is difficult.
Place the piece on a support above an existing pool or pond of clean and filtered water. The pump simply draws water from the pool or pond and recirculates it.

For options 1 and 2 above, provision for a conduit (to provide power the pump, filter, and lights) and a water feed need to be made in the foundation.

Installation and delivery are included in the price for UK commissions, and overseas shipping quotes can be obtained and charged at cost.

At David Harber we can provide a variety of filtration and maintenance solutions depending on your own installation and budget. A detailed Maintenance Manual will be provided at installation and is also available on request. It is however essential that chlorinated water is not used with bronze water features. The levels of chlorine in domestic tap water are however fine.
