This Waterfall is 8' tall and contains a 10 gallon reservoir with a dual-gated pump. Waterflow goes to both the left and right sides of the waterfall, near the top. Each feed has a gate valve, allowing the water flow to be finely adjusted for either side. The pump is beneath the water and extremely quiet.
The carving is extremely realistic, finished with vines, ferns, flowers and leaves. Small life sized frogs hide within and near the plants giving a lifelike finishing touch to this piece of working art.
This waterfall, as with all of our carvings, is carved from a dense-cast Eurethane. The material is a wood substitute made for carving and duplicates wood in density and weight. The most dense of this carving medium weighs 30 pounds per cubic foot and is the equivalent of the most dense wood found anywhere.
The material, when properly finished and sealed, has no known
lifespan. Being a Eurethane gives it a lifespan far longer than wood and will
outlast the intended purpose easily. The finish topcoat is a permanent clear
that cures literally as hard as
rock, giving the Waterfall a fully wear-resistant finish.
St.Marie Graphics can custom carve a Waterfall or similar
structure to fit any application, be it wall standing, corner 45 degree, center
of a room or even an entire wall carved from end to end, floor to ceiling.
The beauty of this medium is that it looks, wears and appears to be rock without
the extreme weight, thereby allowing us to build a Waterfall on a Mezzanine
or upper floor without the Contractor having to reinforce the sub-floor to
bear the significant weight of actual rock. Waterfalls can be carved and
shaped to fit any structural requirement with a beautiful, colorful, live
looking functional Waterfall, with or without running water.
