While most people are familiar with seeing a water fountain in a garden or even sitting on a colleague’s desk, seeing a water wall has traditionally been much less common by comparison. Fountains have been around for thousands upon thousands of years, first introduced by in Roman times as a way to give the public running water in an urban environment and then beautified by creative sculptors and artists in the years since. While very attractive and sought after, they are hardly a novelty. Waterwalls, on the other hand, have only recently begun to enter the spotlight as a distinct style of fountain worthy of mainstream consideration.

The primary difference between a water wall and a water fountain is the aesthetic style. With a water fountain, be it hanging on a wall or standing alone, on a desk or in a garden surrounded by singing birds, the sculpting of the backboard and the pool are the primary aesthetic features. Some water fountains have elaborate backboards or spouts, others are simplistic and functional. But with all, the fountain itself is the eye catcher.

Water walls, on the other hand, are secondary to the water itself. Their primary characteristic is the emphasis on the flowing water as the aesthetic focal point rather than elaborate sculpture or engravings. They are stylish in their stark simplicity, cool in their lack of decoration. They are equally at home in an ultra modern corporate office or a classy private garden. Their versatility and spartan beauty has propelled them into popularity and helped put them in the homes and offices of all sorts of people, all over the world.
