Outdoor water features are important in modern landscape design. It connects the natural and artificial environments and enhances the quality of residential or commercial space. The sound of water can make people feel relaxed and happy. Outdoor water features are becoming more diverse and personalized. One new type of water feature is the steel water feature. These are made from weathering steel, which has a unique charm.

Weathering steel is a special steel that resists weather and heals itself. It forms a protective rust-red film over time, which makes it more resistant to corrosion and gives the water feature a modern look. Steel is a creative material for designers and an important part of modern water features. I will show you a Kewei Corten steel waterscape with lighting effects.

What are some of the reasons Kewei chose corten steel as a water feature material?

Corten steel not only has excellent weather resistance and self-healing ability, but also presents a unique rust-red color over time, coexists harmoniously with the natural environment, and shows unparalleled charm.

• Excellent weather resistance

Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, has an alloy composition that makes it excellently resistant to atmospheric corrosion. Whether in humid environments or extreme climate conditions, Corten steel can show excellent stability and is not easy to rust or corrode, ensuring its long-term durability in outdoor use.

• Self-healing ability

Unlike ordinary steel, a dense oxide layer will form on the surface of Corten steel when it is initially exposed to the natural environment. This layer of “rust” actually plays a protective role and prevents further corrosion. This self-healing process allows even minor damage to the steel surface to be repaired by forming an oxide layer again, maintaining its long-term protective effect.

• Unique rust-red color over time

One of the aesthetic features of Corten steel is its rust-red color that gradually forms over time. This process of change not only gives the material a warm and rustic appearance but also allows it to blend in with the surrounding natural environment, adding a trace of time and a sense of history.

• Strong corrosion resistance

For outdoor waterscape design, the corrosion resistance of the material is crucial. The excellent weather resistance and self-healing ability of Corten steel enable it to maintain the integrity and beauty of the structure under various climatic conditions, greatly extending the service life of the waterscape.

• Low maintenance cost

Due to the weather resistance and self-healing properties of Corten steel, its application in waterscape design significantly reduces long-term maintenance costs. No frequent painting or rust prevention treatment is required, which not only saves manpower and material resources, but also reduces the impact on the environment, which is in line with the concept of sustainable development.

Design considerations for the bottom pool of weathering steel water feature

The main body of the bottom pool is still made of Corten steel to ensure overall weather resistance and consistency. To add visual and tactile diversity, the surface can be covered with various decorations such as concrete, tiles, pebbles or glass beads. These decorations not only beautify the appearance of the pool, but also provide anti-slip function and enhance the safety of use.

The size of the pool can be customized according to the specific environment and design requirements to ensure that it can become a visual focus and coexist harmoniously with the surrounding environment. Whether it is a small and exquisite courtyard pool or a broad and grand public waterscape, the best effect can be achieved through precise size customization.

The depth design of the pool takes into account both aesthetics and practicality. The appropriate depth can hold enough water to form a beautiful water surface effect, while not being too deep to make cleaning and maintenance difficult. For easy cleaning and maintenance, the bottom of the pool is designed with an easy-to-drain structure so that the pool can be quickly emptied for cleaning when needed.

The creation of artificial waterfalls

The water flow design of artificial waterfalls focuses on the beauty of natural flow. The streamlined design allows the water to fall naturally from top to bottom, forming a visual effect like a natural waterfall. The dynamic changes of the water flow and the fluctuations of the water surface add vividness and vitality to the entire waterscape.

The sound of the falling waterfall is carefully designed to be a quiet and soothing rhythm, like the sound of drizzle on a rainy day, bringing people a sense of relaxation and pleasure. This sound effect not only enhances the ornamental value of the waterscape, but also can cover up the noise in the surrounding environment to a certain extent, creating a more peaceful space.

The design of artificial waterfalls fully considers the integration with the surrounding natural environment. Various aquatic plants and green plants can be planted around the waterfall to form a natural transition and extension. At the same time, the water flow and water point of the waterfall can also be combined with the surrounding natural elements such as stone and wood to create a more realistic natural effect.

Lighting effects add nighttime charm to steel water feature

In order to enhance the viewing effect of steel water feature at night, LED lighting system is specially installed. LED lighting is not only energy-saving and environmentally friendly, but also provides a rich variety of color options, adding a mysterious and charming luster to the waterscape.

The lighting system can achieve a variety of color changes and adjust according to the needs of seasons, festivals or specific occasions. The change of color brings a richer visual experience to the waterscape, allowing you to enjoy the beauty and charm of the waterscape at night.

All lighting designs fully consider energy-saving and environmental protection factors. LED lighting has the characteristics of low power consumption and long life, which not only reduces operating costs, but also reduces the impact on the environment. This complements the sustainable concept of Kewei Corten steel, and together creates an outdoor waterscape that is both beautiful and environmentally friendly.

Our Corten steel water features are simple round, steady square, and irregular shapes, all of which are perfectly presented. What is more worth mentioning is that we also incorporate sculpture elements into them to create water features that are both ornamental and artistic, such as weathering steel water features with Buddha sculptures, which give the outdoor space a unique charm.
