Antique Fountain: Ideas and Tips on How to Install One
Have you ever dreamed of creating an antique-style green corner in your home?
Where should you start? With an antique garden fountain.
Furniture elements that have been essential since ancient times in the gardens of nobility, featuring significant shapes and ingenious details for creating water features, these decorative elements are accessible to everyone and can be installed in all types of gardens.
Why Choose Antique Fountains? Because they have the ability to create harmony and a sense of relaxation for homeowners and the surrounding environment. In fact, for many years, they have remained a trendy accessory in gardens and parks, giving an 'old-time' look.
But How Do I Choose a Brick Garden Fountain? Considering the numerous products on the market, you should take into account three aspects: the shape, the size of the space available, so as to choose one that doesn’t disrupt the balance of your garden but integrates harmoniously with the surroundings, and finally, the lighting, which should be arranged to highlight the fountain and create a beautiful scenic effect according to your tastes.
Materials, Maintenance, and Cleaning
The most commonly used material for making them resistant and beautiful at the same time is undoubtedly stone.
Stone is particularly suitable for this product for three reasons:
- It is very resistant to the corrosive action of water
- It withstands the test of time
- It is a readily available material
Besides stone, another suitable material for constructing fountains is undoubtedly concrete because it is characterized by hardness, versatility, resistance, and is also among the most economical materials.
Cast iron can also be considered, as it guarantees good thermal insulation and requires no maintenance.
Marble remains the most decorative, elegant, and eye-catching element, but its downsides are almost constant cleaning and great maintenance.
Of course, outdoor fountains are used more in summer than in winter, but during the winter season, it's important not to neglect them and keep them clean and check if they need maintenance.
Regarding cleaning, it's a good practice to clean the bowl that holds the water and clear the drain of any debris like leaves and branches that can penetrate inside the hole and clog the drainpipe.
To thoroughly clean the product, it's useful to use a brush with detergents suitable for the material of the fountain.
