Brass is one of the materials that we use most often, followed by a marine-grade stainless steel. It’s beautiful, durable and creates some of the most eye-catching pieces.
Here are some of the reasons that we use brass for our water features.
- It is durable and corrosion-resistant. Water features are exposed to moisture nearly every day in the warmer months, and sometimes harsh weather conditions in the winter. Using materials like brass ensures that the mold and structure remain the same and visually appealing over time.
- Brass is easy to work with. Brass allowing for intricate designs and details in water feature components such as pool scuppers, fountain spouts, or decorative elements like escutcheons.
- Brass has a beautiful appearance. With a warm golden hue, brass has a look of luxury. It can be polished to a high shine or left to develop a natural patina if brass.
- It is easy to finish. Brass takes on our electroplated metal-on-metal finishes beautifully. Not all metals adhere well to other metals and look outstanding doing so. Brass is one of the few metals that we utilize to create the color, look, and finish you desire from a dark oil-rubbed bronze, to a bold yet natural-looking green patina.
Overall, the combination of durability, look, and ease of use makes brass a very popular choice for water features. Browse our collection today to complete your dream water feature.
