- Lightweight: The strength of GFRC does not require any sacrifices in weight either. In fact, GFRC is, on average roughly 75% lighter weight than concrete, and far lighter than stone and metal.
- Vapor permeability: GFRC allows any minor water intrusions through joints or openings to slowly diffuse outward through the exterior surface, preventing cracks.
- High compressive strength.
- Ability to reproduce fine surface details.
- Low maintenance requirements.
- Low coefficients of thermal expansion.
- High Fire Resistance.
- Environmentally friendly.

You may have seen fountains being installed in several commercial spaces and outside private homes as well. Despite their usage over a period of time, something is fascinating about these water features which attract every individual.

Colors will continue to develop and grow with the environment. These architectural pieces are created with exquisite finishes using hand-applied techniques, resulting in aged looks of iron, bronze, and natural stone.
Easy To Install
The Installation and maintenance are two factors that deter a lot of people from investing in water fountains. Water in them will be sprayed in patterns either through a nozzle or a bubble, and will easily cascade upon the reservoir present below. Along with excellent designs, some of the other benefits of these water features are low maintenance and high resistance to corrosion. In addition to this, the electrical consumption of a fountain purchased from a reputed dealer will consume less electrical units.
Every fountain comes with a suitable submersible pump, which is necessary to keep the splendor of the water feature intact. The fountain must be within safe reach of an electrical outlet for the pump to function.
