SPECIFICATION SUPPORT
Support from Concept to Installation
Selecting the right water feature involves more than choosing a design.
Positioning, scale, reservoir requirements, electrical supply, splash, access and ongoing maintenance can all influence how successfully a water feature works within a completed scheme.
Where required, we can also review plans, drawings or concept imagery and recommend appropriate Aqua Moda products for the proposed space.

THE COLLECTION
Architectural Water Features by Aqua Moda
Aqua Moda is our exclusive collection of contemporary water features, developed for modern gardens, landscaped spaces and architectural environments.
The range includes polished stainless steel, Corten steel, natural stone and sculptural designs in a wide variety of scales.
From compact courtyard installations to substantial water walls, bowls, spheres and statement features, Aqua Moda provides options suitable for private residential projects as well as larger commercial and hospitality settings.
Many designs are available in different sizes and installation configurations, allowing the water feature to be selected around the proportions and practical requirements of the project.
ARCHITECTURE & LANDSCAPE
Water Features for Contemporary Architecture and Landscape Design
Water can introduce movement, reflection, sound and contrast into a space without dominating the wider design.
Our team can help assess which material, scale and water effect is most appropriate for the intended setting.
SUITABLE SETTINGS
Courtyards · Entrance spaces · Terraces · Roof gardens · Hotel landscapes · Residential developments · Commercial gardens · Hospitality settings · Office environments · Contemporary private gardens
Polished stainless steel introduces a clean, reflective architectural finish.
Corten steel develops a warmer, naturally weathered surface that works well with planting, stone and modern hard landscaping.
Natural stone offers a softer, more organic character, while sculptural forms such as spheres and bowls create a strong focal point.
COMMERCIAL & LARGE-SCALE PROJECTS
Statement features for larger spaces.
For larger projects, Aqua Moda includes a selection of substantial water features designed to create a stronger architectural presence.
Large polished steel spheres, water walls, Corten features and sculptural installations can be used to establish focal points within entrance areas, landscaped developments, hospitality environments and larger private gardens.

SPECIFICATION INFORMATION
Technical information for your specification
Technical information is available across the Aqua Moda collection, covering the key details needed during design and installation. Where a specific detail is not published online, our team can provide or confirm the information required for your project.
01
DIMENSIONS & CONFIGURATION
Overall product dimensions, reservoir sizes and above-ground or below-ground configurations where applicable.
02
PUMP & ELECTRICAL
Pump information, electrical requirements and integrated lighting details for the selected design where available.
03
INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Ground preparation, reservoir positioning, access, foundations and practical installation considerations.
04
MAINTENANCE & ACCESS
Advice on service access, cleaning, seasonal care and factors that should be considered during the design stage.
PLANNING AHEAD
Designed Around the Installation
A successful water feature installation starts with understanding the space around it.
Important considerations can include the finished ground level, available excavation depth, reservoir access, nearby electrical supplies, prevailing wind, pedestrian routes and the surrounding surface material.
Some Aqua Moda products use below-ground reservoirs to create a cleaner integrated finish, while others are available with above-ground bases where excavation is unsuitable or unnecessary.
For architectural and commercial installations, we recommend considering these details during the design stage rather than after landscaping or paving has been completed.
INTERIOR PROJECTS
Water Features for Indoor Projects
Selected Aqua Moda water features can also be considered for suitable indoor environments.
Indoor installations require additional thought around splash, floor finishes, humidity, ventilation, electrical provision and public access.
Hard, water-resistant surfaces are generally preferable around indoor water features, with sufficient clearance around the installation.
Suitable settings can include reception areas, offices, hospitality environments and other carefully planned interior spaces.
Contact us before specification so we can discuss the proposed location and suitable options.
MATERIALS & FINISHES
Choose a finish that works with the architecture.
Aqua Moda includes natural stone, polished stainless steel and Corten steel, allowing the water feature to complement both the material palette and character of the wider scheme.
ORGANIC TEXTURE & INDIVIDUAL VARIATION
NATURAL STONE
Sandstone, granite and slate introduce natural colour, texture and variation for planting-led and landscape-focused schemes.
CLEAN, REFLECTIVE & CONTEMPORARY
POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL
Grade 304 stainless steel creates a crisp architectural finish that reflects planting, paving, buildings and changing light.
WARM, WEATHERED & ARCHITECTURAL
CORTEN STEEL
Corten develops rich orange and brown tones that work particularly well alongside planting, pale paving and modern hard landscaping.
INSTALLATION SUPPORT
Practical support before and during installation
WaterFeatures.com has specialised in water features since 2003, and our team can provide practical guidance before and during installation.
For suitable projects, we can also discuss supply and installation options or work alongside your chosen landscape contractor or installer.
For larger, heavier or more complex products, early planning is particularly important so that access, foundations, lifting requirements, reservoir positioning and electrical provision can be considered before the surrounding landscape is completed.
