Slate Fountains...Built to Last
Posted by Doug Gardner on 30th Nov 2016
There are thousands of types and styles of fountains manufactured, but some of my favorites for indoor use are slate fountains. Slate has been used for thousands of years where durability is required. Slate has frequently been used for flooring and roofing - which are some of the toughest applications around. In addition to its durability, slate is very attractive and comes in a wide variety of colors and textures.
Since slate is so versatile, we offer fountains with slate as the water panel and also fountains with a slate frame. In fact, we offer 43 different types of slate fountains. Plus, when you figure in all of the available options of size, trim, color, etc., there are hundreds, if not thousands, of unique slate fountains available at Water Gallery.
The two main types of slate fountains are wall mounted and floor standing models. You decide which would work best in your home or business, based on the available space and/or budget. These are just two examples of our wide selection.
We offer a number of different types of slate to give you a variety of color and texture options. The main slate types are: Featherstone, Rajah, Jeera and Green. Within these types there are also color variations – mainly hues of multicolored, green or black. One of our unique options is the Stone Selection Option. For a small upcharge, we will provide four photos from our inventory of the type of slate you requested, so you can choose the exact color and texture that best fits your décor. We highly recommend this option because all of the stones are natural and thus vary in color and texture.
When you have chosen your fountain style, you can choose the type of trim, slate, size, etc. In fact, you can even have your logo engraved on most of our slate fountains. Slate fountains by Water Gallery are one of our most requested types of fountain due to their timeless beauty and the quality of slate that we use. The best way to see all of our slate fountains is to type “slate” in the Search bar at the top left of our Home page. That will bring up all of 43 of our slate fountains. You are sure to find at least one fountain that will look perfect in your home or business.
