Water wall - what it is
Water wall - a concept not so long ago included in a newfangled interior design. It can be installed in any of the rooms, for example - it can be used as a partition dividing zones in a residential or non-residential building. In addition, by installing bubble panels with illuminating elements, you can get a very original designer jewelry.
The water wall, as well as the panel with bubbles, helps to moisturize the air, which in turn prevents the spread of respiratory diseases. The sound of moving and bursting air bubbles and the movement of pearl balls in the rays of illumination produce a pacifying effect on those present.
Buy a ready-made water wall or do it yourself?
For those who want to have jewelry of this kind in their apartment or in their own home, we offer two options:
- do it yourself (the installation technique does not require special skills and does not seem particularly complicated),
- find a manufacturer company engaged in the manufacture, sale and installation of these products, place an order in it for the products you like most and enjoy, enjoying the purchase.
Those who dare to establish such a new-fangled decor element, will fully feel the huge aesthetic difference between the monotypic types of wallpaper and water-bubble panels.
Wall-waterfall in the apartment - we build a beautiful design element on our own
Carrying out the work on your own, first of all, it is necessary to apply to the entire wall (the one that is planned under the water), a certain part of the floor and ceiling, material that will repel water. Now you can mount the glass at a small distance from the surface.
Glass will be needed without cuts, that is, whole. When installing, its edges must be treated with sealant. In the lower part, you will have to make a sewer drain, install nozzles through which air will be supplied (the same as those used in air massage). The nozzles will form moving bubbles, changing their location.
You can connect a backlight to this design or add a mixture that will form a foam, you can divide it into departments and create foam of different colors and bubbles in each department, moving in different directions or make a multi-color backlight - there are a lot of ways to design a water wall.
Bubble panels and materials for their construction
The bubble panel is assembled in the same way. The only difference is the lack of interaction with the wall. The bubble panel can be either an unusual element of decor, or a kind of screen that divides the space into zones.
The bubble structure is hollow and translucent, divided into sections. They are filled with purified water and in each is a system that forms bubbles.
The water panel can be made of both acrylic material and polycarbonate. Materials have different characteristics:
- acrylic glass has a longer life
- acrylic design has more weight
- polycarbonate, after a certain amount of time, will change its quality
- polycarbonate is practically not subject to mechanical damage and chemical influences
- polycarbonate has a lower cost.
Water wall in the countryside
Having made a decision to draw up a water wall on a personal territory, you will need to purchase the following materials:
- strained glass
- wooden bars
- pump
- river stones
- boards or plywood
- masking tape
- paraffin paste
- waterproof film
First of all, it is necessary to make a box from plywood or boards, the size corresponding to the dimensions of the glasses on which the movement of water is planned. All the outer edges of the wooden structure are covered with masking tape, and the entire inner surface is covered with paraffin paste. Then, the resulting box should be placed in a wooden frame and a waterproof film should be attached to the edges with brackets. Get a kind of gutter. Now you need to carefully check: does the structure pass water.
The next step is the fastening of deck boards finished with veneer on two opposite sides of the water wall. They will combine the upper and lower boxes.
Now it's the finish line for the bottom box. The sides are sewn up with lining. Finishing strips are attached to the edges. Tempered glass is mounted and securely fixed in the center. A pump is attached to the bottom of the gutter. Plastic tubes should be connected to it, passing from bottom to top parallel to each other on the left and right side of the structure. At the top, they should be connected together. On the part of the plastic pipe located in the upper part, it is necessary to drill a certain number of holes at the same distance from each other. They will make it possible to evenly drain liquids on the surface.
Experts advise: drill holes on the side that is turned to the glass surface. Only in this case, the liquid will fall directly onto the glass and run equally rhythmically along it. Drill holes of minimum diameter immediately. The flow power depends on it. After drilling, connect the pump and check the power. Then, if necessary, you can increase the holes.
Now the frames of the racks need to be sheathed. To close vertically located tubes with finishing strips.
Decoration of the bottom of the structure depends entirely on the personal desires of the owner. For example, the bottom can be decorated with river stones. Water hitting them will make sounds that promote relaxation.
Hand-made design of the water wall will for a long period of time delight and surprise the owners.
Water bubble panel - how to prevent problems that may arise during its operation
Firstly, the power unit, compressor and aeration system, backlight module and non-return valve are mounted on the podium. When the compressor is mounted on top, the check valve is not installed.
The pallet will need to be built from organic and transparent material. This option will provide good visibility and visibility of the backlight. Some water is left in the pan. It will guarantee the constant state of the water column. The compressor tube is lowered into the water. Thanks to it, air bubbles will interact with the openings of organic glass.
Quite often, with the independent manufacture of water-bubble panels, a problem arises - air bubbles are collected in one place. In order to prevent this phenomenon, you need to purchase an acrylic spray. Before using it, holes are made on its surface. The main point in the assembly of the structure can be considered the adjustment and adjustment of the exhaust holes of all tubes. Thanks to the adjustment, the home master can set the desired diameter of the air bubbles.
To give greater effect to the water wall, a backlight is mounted in it. It is required to determine its shades and choose an acceptable variety. The most economical option is the LEDs, their drawback is the ability to illuminate the water column by a maximum of 30 cm.In the manufacture of the bubble panel, experts read the use of LED backlighting on neon lamps as a more rational option, it has a higher cost, but makes it possible to get the most attractive look.
The lighting system will need to be equipped with an RGB controller - with its help it will be possible to control the lighting system. The backlight can be installed in any part of the structure.
