Waterfall in the interior: beauty or benefit

Home waterfall on glass- a modern element of the interior, which is rapidly gaining popularity among those who want to update the decor in the living space. More and more often, certain functional requirements are put forward for decor items, so as not to clutter up the room with unnecessary things, therefore we will consider the benefits of waterfalls, how they can be useful in addition to their unconditional aesthetic properties.

What are they

Before talking about the benefits, you need to understand what types are home waterfalls... The examples in the photo represent several options that are most often installed in rooms:

1) Wall mounted. Such structures are attached to walls, strong partitions and easily replace decorative panels and paintings;

2. Partitions are an unusual solution for dividing space both between rooms and inside one room, for example, a living room or kitchen;

3. A free-standing decorative element against a wall or in the center of a room.

By the type of structures, sources of moving water can be:

• Bulky in their usual form, but it is worth noting that such take up a lot of space, regardless of their size, since they require an area for installation. Therefore, they are more often arranged in large centers or in the local area;
• Waterfalls on glass for indoor and office are the most popular and have a number of advantages over volumetric ones.

It is worth noting that access to water in such structures can be different: the liquid can be in a closed container, or drain into an open container.

Now about the benefits

Waterfall at home and in any other room, undoubtedly, it primarily has a decorative function. But few people know that the benefits of such an element are much greater:

Air humidification.

A very important function in modern living conditions: in winter the air in apartments and houses is very dry, about 15%, which is lower than the humidity in the Sahara Desert (there is 25%). This dryness negatively affects the respiratory tract, skin and eyes. In addition, at low humidity, the level of dustiness in the premises increases, as a result, allergies and viral diseases with weak immunity. Home waterfall on glass with an open reservoir acts as an active air humidifier, fully replacing special devices. Moreover, in comparison with them, it is aesthetic and fits into the interior, decorating it.

Sounds of bubbling water.

Naturally created vibrations or obtained from a recording in dynamics, they are able to calm a person. Replacing a living corner in the house is an unconditional merit of the source. In addition, sounds can drown out additional annoying noises: conversations of neighbors, repairs behind the wall, etc.

Air ionization.

This quality may be related to moisture, but it should be taken out as a separate one. As you know, after rain, oxygen is enriched with additional ions, which makes such air biologically active. To a certain extent, the same happens when water moves in a waterfall: particles interacting with each other exchange electrons and many molecules receive additional electrons. To maintain a good state of the body as a whole, the concentration of such "vitamins" in the air at the level of 600 particles per 1 cm3 is necessary, while in an ordinary apartment there are only 50/1 cm3, which entails headaches, fatigue, depression and chronic diseases.

Natural air purification.

By increasing the humidity of the surrounding space, the waterfall helps to reduce the amount of dust that is attracted to water molecules. It has been noticed: in rooms and offices where there is a water source, people feel much more comfortable, since it is easy to breathe in such ones, and the layer of dust on the shelves and appliances grows much more slowly.

Thus, if your living or working space has dry air, high levels of dust and people with chronic diseases - buy waterfall on glass just necessary! In the catalog by Aqua Mod and everyone can choose a solution suitable for a particular interior: from compact home waterfalls on glass to grandiose compositions with open tanks. In addition, each client can add their wishes to the ready-made solutions and choose the optimal configuration for the structure.

A little more good

In addition to biologically active functions, the advantages of installations include:

• High aesthetic characteristics. Aqua Fashion offers a variety of colors and designs of waterfalls on glass. Different shapes, textures, the use of lighting, the combination of materials - you can embody any client's desire by creating an individual unique composition that will surprise guests and clients (if it is an office);
• Calming effect from visual contact with falling water. Considering the movement of jets and drops, a person can relax as much as possible after a hard day. This is especially true for residents of megacities;
• Fun for children. Installed in a childcare facility or in a house, the waterfall will attract the attention of an active baby and help him to calm down and concentrate;
• Attracting customers in business. A potential partner will more willingly choose the partner who will offer not only the best conditions for cooperation, but also give a feeling of reliability and confidence in the success of the business. A waterfall in the office is a promising investment that speaks of the taste of bosses and their ability to think outside the box, to make bold decisions that can lead to high results. It is not for nothing that personalized compositions have already been installed in the offices of the largest companies:

Every home and office needs a glass waterfall. The price for it is formed from the complexity of the equipment, the quality of the materials used, the type of installation.

Several years ago, new decorative humidifiers appeared in Europe - fog generators with the romantic name Mist of Dreams. They decorated the interior, purified and ozonized the air in the room, saturated it with pleasant aromas.

Over time, the production of foggers was transferred to Asia, where the designers added their own "flavor". Fantasies of the East have created compositions of exotic caves, mountain waterfalls, picturesque lakes, beautiful fountains with fog and illumination.

The cleansing function is now combined with decorative lighting. The humidifier is ideal for city apartments, and not only as a decorative lamp - a luminaire. Air saturation with moisture makes the indoor microclimate more favorable, especially during the heating season. Decorative mist can be used to scent the air by adding scented oils to the water. In addition, the water spray absorbs dust, dirt particles, pollen, positively affecting the well-being of people prone to allergic diseases. The fog machine with light is a wonderful air humidifier for the nursery and living room.
Recently, the problem of polluted air has become urgent for the majority of urban residents. Exhaust gases from cars, household heat and electricity sources disrupt the normal composition of healthy air that we need. Therefore, it will be very difficult without air purifiers. They not only prevent air pollution, they make it truly beneficial. Especially, the purchase of such devices can be of interest to people with allergies. Purified air has a beneficial effect on the condition of wooden furniture and plants. Statistics show that people who have even the most primitive appliances installed at home are much less likely to suffer from infectious diseases transmitted by airborne droplets. In the summer, when there is a sultry heat, clean fresh air will be a real salvation on sweltering nights. In winter, when heaters and other heating devices are working in the room, the humidifier will monitor the air balance. This is especially true for those who do not like to often ventilate the room.

"Artificial Fog" by Quanzbou Craft Co. is supplied to our market by the GLOBUS International group of companies. Warehouse in the city of Moscow. Delivery to any region of Russia.

You can buy a large assortment of air humidifiers in Moscow and any region of Russia: decorative compositions with fog, lamps with water, outdoor portable lamp, outdoor decorative fog, decorative lamp, outdoor decorative lamp . It is important to choose a device that will work properly and perform its function without negative consequences for the human body.

You can use ultrasonic fog generators when creating interior compositions.

For good health, a person needs to breathe fresh air. Much more useful for health is not "dry" air, but slightly humidified. Indoor plants also need optimal moisture. Too dry air will dry out wooden furniture or parquet. The main purpose of a decorative purifier is to maintain a normal level of air humidity and create a cozy, comfortable atmosphere in the house due to its original design and useful properties. It works on the basis of an ultrasonic evaporator - a diffuser that is constantly in the water. The ultrasonic cleaner allows you to generate mist at home. The vapors released by the diffuser only look hot, in fact they are cold and humid, and also absolutely safe for the health of large and small, domestic animals and birds, which is confirmed by the tests carried out and issued certificates of conformity. Such a fog generator with light is perfect for a child's room and living room. It is equipped with a water sensor - the water evaporator (diffuser) automatically shuts off when the water level is low. This allows you to leave this device unattended for a long period of time without fear of consequences. The noise level of the operating device is so low that you can sleep next to it.

To date, the ultrasonic method of air purification is the most effective. Devices based on this principle are distinguished by high performance and minimum noise level.

Decorative waterfalls or water wall is a successful aesthetic and practical tandem:

Zoning space;

They will support it with a bright accent or harmoniously complement the classic interior.

Indoor waterfalls on glass help you relax, forget about everyday problems. If you intend to buy a glass waterfall in Moscow, then you probably have more than one question about this.

What do you need to know to order a waterfall on glass?

Options for attaching the structure of the waterfall - to the ceiling, to the wall, free-standing, built-in (communications can be hidden in the thickness of the walls, floor and ceiling). Through the water supply pipes, water, with the help of a pump, rises to the top of the structure, passing through the distribution flute, smoothly flows down, and enters the receiving tank - this is how a closed hydraulic system functions. To prevent the waterfall from forming splashes on the glass, it is important to adjust the overflow and the degree of water pressure. Comfortable cross-sectional dimensions of the receiving bath h350x300 mm - due to the size of the pump. You can order a waterfall construct from us, entrusting the finishing to workers, or a company that makes repairs. The construct is a ready-made waterfall without finishing: a bowl (or a water intake bath), a pump, communications and a distribution flute that supplies water through nozzles.

The next detail is a carrier or surface over which water flows - a mirror, glass, natural or artificial stone, aluminum, copper, metal mesh. We use plastics - acrylic, plexiglass, cellular polycarbonate. Without the need for side guides, waterfalls over glass are used to emphasize the transparency and weightlessness of the structure. To hold the glass weighing 200 kg - we make the receiving bath of stainless steel, this will lead to an increase in the cost of production.

What is the difference between glass and plastic waterfalls?

When using plastic, the structure is lighter and requires side guides - in this case, it is permissible to weld the receiving bath from plastic, this will make the structure cheaper. A waterfall cannot be visually distinguished by a glass or acrylic mirror. Due to its rich appearance, up to 50 standard colors and textures, the plastic surface creates original solutions for the interior.

Communications for the waterfall

The minimum requirements are a 220V socket or electrical outlet for pump operation. Additionally provide an output for LED backlighting. The supply of water, sewerage, autofill and RCD is critical for large products or when installing a waterfall in public interiors.

How to buy a glass waterfall in Moscow?

To order a decorative home waterfall on glass, decide on its location in the interior. Indicate the type of construction, dimensions of the aqua product - length and height - send us an email for a preliminary calculation.

Where to install a waterfall on glass in an apartment?

By location, the waterfall is used as:

Humidifier in personal space;

A translucent partition resembling a screen;

Art - an object in the living room;

What glasses are used for aqua products?

When creating a waterfall, we give preference to high-strength tempered glass. On glasses of poor quality, over time, heights can appear, which are difficult to get rid of. Glass options: frosted, transparent, mirror, embossed or tinted. The maximum dimensions of sheet glass are 3200x2250 mm, with a thickness of 10 mm - it weighs about 200 kg. The size of bending (curved glass): 1600x2500 mm, - with large dimensions, the sheet does not fit into the oven. Glasses of large size 6000x3210mm, 8000x3200mm are called Jumbo and Jumbo +, they allow making waterfalls of non-standard sizes.

Glass weight up to 1.5 tons imposes special requirements for the transportation and installation of the structure. Glass skidding is carried out according to the projected plan.

How often is the waterfall cleaned?

It depends on the frequency of use. Waterfalls for the house on glass are thoroughly cleaned once every six months, prevention - once a month. The flowing water on the glass forms deposits and calcium deposits, which must be removed.

What are the decoration options?

Backlighting, a fog generator, the use of plants, moss and stones will give the waterfall on the glass an attractive appearance and a wealth of natural textures. Also, the structure is decorated with images, inscriptions, engraving and the company logo.

Can the waterfall be installed after renovation?

To install the waterfall after finishing, you only need a 220V outlet for the pump to work. The water supply elements are decorated with overhead casings. It is advisable to install the waterfall before finishing by laying pipes and electrical leads in the thickness of the walls, ceiling or floor.

How much is a waterfall on glass?

The price is calculated based on the cost of the material, the size and design of the product, the complexity of the work. After that, we will calculate the exact cost of the waterfall.

A kind of household climatic equipment is a decorative air humidifier. It is especially relevant in winter, when the heating equipment warms up the air of low humidity due to subzero temperatures. Dry air is an uncomfortable environment for a person, for example, it lowers the body's natural protective barriers, contributes to the spread of viral diseases. Humidifiers help to correct the situation.

Operating principle

Among the equipment humidifying the air, a special category is distinguished - decorative devices. They fulfill their direct purpose - to humidify the air environment, in addition, the constructive, design component allows you to realize the aesthetic function.

General classification of humidifying equipment for home:

• Evaporative (traditional). A special reservoir is filled with water, from where it is supplied to the cartridges. The fan drives air through the cartridges, thus humidified, cleaned. Natural evaporation stops when the humidity level reaches 60%. Further, it is not possible by physical laws. It moisturizes well the microenvironment of apartments, offices, children's rooms. Not enough for greenhouses, gardens, premises of this kind.

• Ultrasonic. Popular moisturizing devices. The reservoir is filled with water, then the liquid enters the membrane, splitting with a fine suspension. The airflow carries water vapor into the interior of the room. The warm steam option allows you to destroy harmful microorganisms in the liquid. High performance facilitates use in conditions where there are wooden pieces of furniture, musical instruments, books, greenhouses.

• Steam. The principle of operation is the evaporation of a liquid by heating it to a boiling state. Steam is released - the air is humidified. The increased power consumption (300-500 W) is justified by the high level of performance among similar equipment. It is necessary to constantly monitor the filling level of the tank container, since the boil-off rate is quite high. It can be used as an inhaler, indoors, where a high percentage of air humidity is required.

Among decorative devices, structurally, optionally, they are distinguished:

• electric fireplace humidifiers;
• fountain humidifiers;
• foggy moisture

Fountain humidifier

A fountain humidifier is a popular climatic device that attracts consumers:

• a variety of external designs for every taste,
• visualization of a miniature model of a waterfall, fountain,
• sound accompaniment of murmuring water, which has a relaxing effect.

Peculiarities:

• compact size;
• productive capacity of humidification of the middle level;
• aesthetic appeal of the design;
• relaxing sound series;
• visual observation of overflowing water.

A piezoelectric element placed inside the water reservoir provides power for the backlight and the operation of the pump. The pump pump constantly pumps water, producing a continuous circulation cycle of water movement. The volume of the reservoir must be periodically replenished (much less often with humidifying devices of a different design).

Fog

A kind of fountain type humidifier device. A distinctive feature is that the liquid is supplied with a finely dispersed suspension that looks like a natural fog. A similar effect is achieved by installing an artificial fog generator. External performance is diverse. The generator is placed inside the body, appearance: bowl, decorative composition.

Actual application: greenhouses, winter gardens, sanitization of premises, humidification of air in volumetric space.

Electric fireplace

Outwardly, it resembles a standard electric fireplace, familiar to the eyes of the layman. Distinctive feature:

• lack of heating function;
• the presence of a water reservoir;
• visual effects of a burning fire (cold steam + special lighting);
• artificial logs, flickering with real fire, create the effect of a real fire.

The reservoir contains a piezoelectric emitter. The streams of cold steam lifted by a miniature turbine are illuminated by LED lamps, creating a realistic flickering of a burning fire.

Optional varieties of electric fireplace humidifiers:

• the presence of the heating option creates a realistic visualization of combustion by adding a thermal effect. It cannot be considered a full-fledged heater. The heating effect is felt during the off-season.
• no heating option - standard humidifier operation.

Constructive varieties:

• panel-insert for a fireplace, wooden, stone portal (wide range);
• wall-mounted electric fireplace (the appearance is similar to a decorative panel for wall placement);
• inserts of horizontal panels (kitchen table, bar counter);
• electric fireplace-basket (inside the fireplace placement of real unused structures. Scope of application: museums, libraries, exhibition halls, other rooms that store valuable historical and cultural exhibits exposed to fire).

Climatic humidification technology increases the level of air humidity, contributing to the creation of a comfortable indoor microenvironment. The beneficial effect is felt immediately, it is worth starting the mechanism of the humidifier, enjoying the aesthetic result of its work.

Basic rules for installing an air conditioner

Air humidification is necessary during the heating system operation season not only for plants, but also for people. Hot dry air needs a wise and gentle "adjustment" in order not to have a detrimental effect on the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract and create comfortable conditions for the development of all plants. With the exception of rare indoor pets, almost all indoor crops prefer at least average humidity and feel very uncomfortable in dry conditions. The problem of insufficient humidity and the need to compensate for it can be solved both with special devices and by arranging home humidifiers. The most decorative type of the latter is indoor fountains.

Benefits of using fountain installations

Small fountain installations, which today are usually referred to simply as indoor fountains, are referred to as interior décor. Miniature or large enough, they are a wonderful accessory that allows you to enjoy the energy of the water element at home.

Such devices actually represent an amazing symbiosis of a water body in miniature and a work of art, because the base of the fountain, beating the pumping unit and various nozzles, is actually a kind of indoor sculptures. This is a beautiful kind of large decor that dramatically changes the atmosphere in the room.

The advantages of indoor fountains are not limited only to the disclosure of the beauty of moving water. These are excellent devices for creating a soothing, relaxed atmosphere, relaxation and high-quality air humidification. In the process of constant movement of water, part of the moisture evaporates effectively, imperceptibly, very gently, but invariably qualitatively increasing the humidity of the air.

Compared to other artisanal humidifiers, including containers filled with water or damp pebbles and moss, fountains are much more effective in regulating the level of humidity.

Any indoor fountain can be used as a humidifier, both the smallest and the largest models. It is enough to put them next to a group of indoor plants - and they will replace any humidifying device. They are appropriate to use as a humidifier in living rooms and those rooms where aesthetics plays an important role, in the interior of which you do not want to introduce unnecessary functional details, where you can admire the fountains.

The fountains perform their functions regardless of how and with what speed the water moves through the mechanism, whether it washes peculiar spheres or passes through several containers, flowing down in funny cascades. They are equally effective in saturating the air with moisture due to natural evaporation.

Criteria for choosing a room humidifier-fountain

You need to choose indoor fountains according to your capabilities, because such installations are far from cheap, as well as for the style of the interior and focusing exclusively on the aesthetic appeal of each model.

Classic shapes, Art Nouveau designs, laconic bowl-shaped fountains with spheres immersed in them, copies of Greek statues, figurines of funny fairy-tale characters or images of thematic scenes - the choice is really amazing, and the variety of indoor fountains can satisfy any request.

But the assortment of nozzles and the nature of the jets formed for indoor installations is, of course, inferior to large park and garden fountains. All indoor fountains work smoothly, the water moves smoothly, slowly, does not create splashes and is not thrown out to a considerable height.

These wonderful installations are sold both in shops specializing in indoor plants and accessories to them, and in garden centers, although the widest range of fountains is presented in souvenir shops.

Features of the work of indoor fountains

Indoor fountains work on distilled water, which should not be replaced with another type of liquid (ordinary water, even softened with lemon juice or vinegar, can spoil the entire structure with lime deposits, disable the mechanism and complicate the care of the fountain at times). Only distilled water will not affect the attractiveness of the fountain and will not allow bacteria and algae to multiply.

The operation of indoor fountains is surprisingly simple. They are cleaned every two to three months, carefully getting rid of all deposits and plaque. But the main guarantee of the fountain's longevity and beauty is its constant filling. The water in the installations is actively evaporating, and it must be constantly renewed, remembering to top up the water daily and not letting the pump run idle.
