Overview
A 7m-tall AquaVeil@ water wall from Tills Innovations has been used to create a large and dramatic focal point within the foyer of a listed building.
Challenge
The huge height of the building's entrance demanded a large water feature that could meet the scale of the space and provide maximum impact. The water wall needed to offer something different that visitors would not have seen before - not the normal traditional stainless steel water wall.
With a floor-to-ceiling height of nearly 8m high, this is a very tall water wall. With accessibility into the building via standard pedestrian doors, the huge water wall needed to be brought though a very tight access. To deliver a high-spec finish to the expectations of the client, the water wall could not have any joins in the material. The end result had to be a neat and free-flowing water wall.
Solution
The AquaVeil® Water Wall has an extraordinary and unique 3D embossed water effect that is vivid and mesmerising, and has the effect of stopping a conversation dead in its tracks.
Whilst the effect is stunning and unique, it is the ability to create the water wall at any size without joins that makes it equally as appealing. The flexible nature of the material and mechano set design meant all parts could be easily moved through the pedestrian door and assembled in position.
The mesmerising way the water flows down the veil is embellished through a unique waterfall effect, which is delivered by the way the veil is offset to the building's wall, giving a truly water-flowing-through-the-air effect.
A bespoke lighting system, specifically developed for AquaVeil®, takes full advantage of the water pattern.
A filtration system with aftercare pack ensures the customer can maintain the water quality and H&S of the water feature.
Result
The theatre-effect that the space now produces brings in customers, and is a talking point for those who visit with many pictures taken of friends and family standing in front of it. A true triumph for Tills, AquaVeil® and the client.
