Fountains, Water Features, Ring, and Pools
Nothing speaks class quite the way a fountain does. Whether plunked bang in the middle of a noisy mall or tucked away in a quiet foyer, the soothing ripples and cascading waters create a mellow effect that helps customers and visitors relax and de stress. With their understated charm, a fountain is usually what makes the difference between just another office and a chic and stylish work space.
There are a varied range of options for those looking to install a new waterscape. You can choose from a variety of styles, textures and materials from sturdy cast stone to fiber glass, and contemporary GFRC fountains, wall fountains and bronze fountains, and for a truly classic touch a Greek statue fountain. You can also customize your fountains to complement your interior decor theme. With such an array of choices you're only limited by your imagination.
Fountain Types
Custom fountains
While you can choose from our varied range of stock fountains to complement your resort, hotel, mall or other commercial space, you might also want to consider a one of a kind custom fountain. These can be personalized to suit your fancy. Large outdoor fountains can be created to center around a theme. Custom fountains can be created in larger sizes that round out a city square, or act as the focal point for a park or public garden setting. From a smaller fountain for indoor use to large architectural fountains with limitless design potential, there are virtually no limits to your design options with a custom fountain.
If you have an original idea for a fountain, a custom fountain is the perfect way to give it wings. Saw a fountain on your European travels that you want replicated? A custom fountain is the way to go then. Or you could just browse through our stock of fountains, pick out appealing features from a few, and mix and match them so you end up with a beautiful and unique signature piece that truly reflects your style and personality. Animals, birds, fish and other natural elements can easily be added, and customized accents can be included in the design plan. Want a fountain that's personalized to incorporate your company or hotel logo? No problem. In fact, including a business logo or insignia is a great way to showcase your business' ethos and company character.
With a custom fountain, you can spin different variations on materials, shapes, sizes, and finishes. You can play around with different design possibilities so you end up with a spectacular waterscape that's like no other. Sizes can be reduced or increased depending on your space requirements.
Whether you want to add or delete features from our existing standard model fountains to create a unique piece, or would like to fashion a new one from scratch based on an original idea you have, Stromberg Architectural Products can help you realize your vision for a waterscape that's truly in sync with your personality, business and needs. Feel free to browse our catalog of existing stock fountains and let us know if you'd like variations on any of them. Or if you have a novel idea that you would like us to execute, just bring it to us and we'll bring it to life!

Streams
A quietly flowing stream enhances the beauty of your waterfall or fountain by providing a sense of motion and continuity. The flowing water of the stream coupled with the gush of a waterfall immediately decreases negative ions, and creates a calming and contemplative mood. When combined with fish and plants and accented with rocks, and even ultra violet lights, streams can be a beautiful and mood enhancing water feature.
Stromberg Architectural Products has years of experience designing waterfalls and fountains, and we draw upon this knowledge of the way water flows in our stream designs. Stromberg streams are created to replicate the naturally occurring and quietly meandering motions of a stream, and require very little maintenance.
Waterfalls
Waterfalls have the ability to mesmerize and awe. How often have you looked out at a waterfall and held your breath? While the thunderous force of a Niagara Falls may be difficult to replicate, Stromberg Architectural Products has a selection of stock and custom waterfalls to blend perfectly into any setting - from large outdoor spaces to hushed lobbies.
A large rocky waterfall can provide a dramatic and majestic backdrop to your lobby, while adding sound and motion effects to your hotel swimming pool. In fact, many people consider a pool or pond incomplete without the cascades of water that somehow seem to complete the picture.
While choosing a waterfall you might want to consider the space that the waterfall will occupy and the level of sound you're willing to tolerate. This will depend on a large part on the receiver of the cascading water. Water falling from a height into water will be splashier and noisier, so you might want to avoid this concept in a limited indoor space. On the other hand this sort of gushing sound is an attractive element of outdoor commercial water falls, and plays a huge part in the fascination that people seem to have for cascading water.
With Stromberg Architectural Products' selection of waterfalls, you'll have no problem finding a smaller cascade that fits near your entranceway, or an impressive waterfall for a larger outdoor space.
Commercial Fountains
With the rejuvenating effects of water being well documented, more and more people are choosing to include a fountain or other water feature in their homes. These are small in size and relatively simple in design, and very unlike commercial fountains which are almost a standard element of interior and exterior design in commercial or business establishments.
Commercial fountains are larger in scale than residential fountains, and are often used to complement ornate landscape design. For those who might not be able to afford extravagant productions of water, lighting and music that pass for fountains, Stromberg Architectural Products also has a selection of smaller fountain designs in traditional or contemporary styles. A traditional tiered medium sized fountain can be the perfect foil to a busy restaurant or a lobby, while cascades are perfect for a quiet foyer or boutique. Commercial fountains also tend to include some nature elements like animals, dolphins etc.
Besides these, Stromberg also has the larger scaled ostentatious fountains that are perfectly suited to accent more expansive park and garden areas, to complement the lavish landscape design of luxury hotels and resorts, or to add the right distinctive touch to a corporate building entrance way. These can feature incredible displays of shooting water, brilliant illumination for the nighttime, intricately detailed and carved statuary and sparkling pools, all of which combine to create a fountain that goes beyond being just a basin with some spouting water to a magnificent conversation starter that will be associated with the location and people's recollection of it. Think the Bellagio Fountains in Vegas.
Why a Commercial Fountain is the Right Choice for your Business
We've always known that water imparts psychological benefits. What many people aren't aware of is that a fountain or other water feature can also pass on subtle subliminal messages to people about your business. There's a reason why a fountain is a standard decorative feature in malls and shopping arcades. The soothing effect of water induces a positive and relaxed attitude in people which in turn encourages them to spend more money!
For a large commercial establishment like a hotel or resort, a fountain always denotes prosperity and success to customers. Traditionally, water features have always been associated with the upper and noble classes. In modern days, having a fountain or other water feature can actually demarcate businesses between those that have reached a certain stage in their corporate journey and those that are still trying to get there. How comfortable a person feels with the level of success the business enjoys is related to how much money he will then be willing to spend.
A commercial fountain also serves as a silent, but evocative public relations exercise for your company. When customized with your company name and logo and placed in a highly visible setting, a fountain speaks volumes for your business' prosperity and well being like no Profit and Loss accounts sheets can!
Choosing the Right Commercial Fountain
A lot goes into the selection of a commercial water fountain. The size of the park, garden or commercial space, the kind of activity that is conducted in the vicinity of the fountain, and your budget - all will have to be considered before you make a choice.
First and foremost, the fountain should complement your company ethos or character. In other words it should reflect the kind of ideals your company stands for.
- What kinds of services, or products do you offer?
- What kind of impression do you want the fountain to invoke in potential customers and clients?
- Do you want the fountain to add to or produce a warm and comfortable atmosphere, or is a sophisticated cutting edge style more likely to make your customers feel at home?
- Are you trying to entice free spirited whimsical individuals or those who have an edgier, modern vibe?
If it's a hotel, resort, or other such establishment, what is the mission statement? A smaller boutique hotel for instance, will probably need a fountain that's understated, and quite different from that at a family holiday resort or luxury hotel.
The fountain should also complement the existing décor if it is an indoor fountain you're looking for, or outdoor landscaping layout for an outdoor water feature. If the setting is ultra modern - all minimal lines, steel and glass - a granite fountain might blend in perfectly without striking the wrong note. On the other hand if the existing décor is extravagant and ostentatious, more elaborate themed fountains with intricate details and heavy statuary can be considered. A sleek fiberglass fountain is perfectly suited to most contemporary settings. Elaborate marble or cast stone fountains will be completely out of sync with Asian inspired designs that inspire tranquility and peace rather than extravagance and grandeur.
Remember, a commercial fountain can either harmonize your commercial or business setting or can strike a jarring note in the layout, making it stick out like a sore thumb.
You might also want to consider the level of noise your fountain will produce. For instance, a large splashier fountain might be more suited to a busy crowded mall, than the quiet lobby of a five star hotel. If you have to shout to make yourself heard above the water, then it's the wrong fountain for you!
Because of its size and the sheer amount of water that runs through it 24/7, care must be taken to maintain a commercial fountain, and regular cleaning must be undertaken.
We understand that not everybody has the time or patience to pore over design plans for days till their fountain is visualized, created and installed. And not everyone can hire design professionals who will assist them in making an informed choice. No matter how grand or simple your vision for a commercial water feature, Stromberg Architectural Products can bring these visions to life. Depending on the size of the commercial space, and your budget, we can help you create a fountain that will be a joy forever!
