ENHANCE YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE
The addition of a water feature to a private garden or large commercial landscape will enhance the wellbeing , experience and feeling of those who use the space . As established water feature designers and innovators , Foras are experienced in providing solutions for every placement . The company has grown organically over 20 years and now boasts over 10,000 sqm of landscaped show gardens at their Norfolk premises , complete with over 50 running water features , tile , flagstone , coping and cladding options combined with inspirational planting .
Designing and manufacturing in house allows flexibility for clients to specify extra features , combining exquisite natural stone pieces with new materials , open water pools and bespoke steelwork . Features can then be enhanced with coping and cladding . An upsurge in water
feature popularity and trends towards individuality , combined with a fast-moving property market , has created a need for lighter , compact , and portable features .
It has historically been impossible to site a feature on a roof terrace , in rented accommodation , or a listed building . Foras water boxes are available in Italian porcelain , Corten steel and powder coated in a range of colours . They are compact , lightweight , and mimic a raised bed without the permanence and associated cost of building work . This allows customers to enjoy a water feature without digging , on roof gardens , balconies and even indoors !
Integrated LED illumination allows a feature to be appreciated long after the sun goes down , as well as brightening the garden in the darker winter months . For commercial spaces illumination adds impact and
really draws people to the feature , making it the focal point as intended by the designer of the space . Foras water features are made from a wide range of materials , from optically clear acrylic to genuine copper to natural stone . When combined with water and light , they each display active water movement and create a sensory experience .
Looking to the future , Foras are developing a curated range of features with watertight engineered reservoirs integrated into the design , which will provide the ultimate solution in terms of flexibility , durability , and longevity . Some will be available for hire , compete with installation / removal . An investment for now and the future , combining timeless materials and timeless design . www . foras . co . uk
