Shard Vault Water Feature Kit

An exclusive fused glass bowl that is the only one of it’s kind, is elevated on an illuminated acrylic vault tube.

Water flows organically over the edge of the bowl onto the pebbles below, creating reflections from the artisan undulating perimeter of the glass.

During the evenings the illuminated ‘vault’ gives a new life to the colours within the glass.

Our fused glass bowls are individually named and are produced by combining metal oxides and paints within the glass to create a vast array of polychromatic effects.

Bubbles, created by the high temperatures in the fusing process, enhance the texture of the glass and give a luminous and iridescent effect.

We have combined each unique bowl with water to create a bespoke moving work of art.

Choose from 6 pebble styles to complement your feature:

• Rainbow Sandstone
• White Quartzite
• Shark Sandstone
• Grey Granite
• Kerala Blue
• Black River Sandstone

Our art glass water features are one off pieces of individually produced fused glass, the fusing process allows us to create both colour and texture within each piece. However, due to their artisan nature, they will require additional care above and beyond that of a standard water feature.

Adding the element of water to a piece of art, not just a vessel of stone or acrylic, requires some additional steps and care. Our own glass features have been running in our gardens for many years, in all weathers, and have remained strong and beautiful.

As a material, glass can be subject to thermal shock which can cause damage or even destruction of the piece. Thermal shock is a phenomenon characterised by a rapid change in temperature, just as a glass bowl fresh from a hot oven would shatter if filled with cold water, a glass feature heated by strong sunlight will be damaged if cold water is poured directly on it.

To this end it is imperative that the following care points are followed for the safe installation, maintenance and running of this water feature, so that it may be appreciated for many years to come:

• The feature must be installed on a cool day, having been kept either in its packaging or indoors until install. The feature must not have been left outside for long periods in direct sunlight and then installed.
• Once installed the feature must run continuously and not be turned off and on repeatedly.
• After any maintenance where the feature must be switched off, the feature must be cool to the touch before it is switched on again.
• In the event of an unexpected power cut, the feature should be switched off and covered to protect it from the sun’s rays. When power is restored, only switch back on once the feature has been touched to check that the glass is cool.

Foras Water Features do not require a water supply, but do require an external plug socket (dry box) to power the pump, plus an additional socket to power the LED light (if required).

All features are provided with a full component kit to ensure they run to perfection.
