Bronze is one of the most popular and widely used metal alloys. This is the best choice particularly for landscaping. Although other metals such as aluminum can also be used for outdoor purposes, bronze is still the first choice because of its physical appearance and color making it the ideal option for landscape artist to include in their decoration. Especially when integrating a fountain in the outdoor design,
bronze fountains can fit perfectly with other stone works especially those with darker shades and the copper present in this alloy also provides additional protection from rust and corrosion.
If you want
bronze fountains, you have a range of options to choose from.
With a number of metal water features available in the market today,
bronze fountains are one of the most popular choices among buyers. But this type of metal water feature does not come cheap. Due to the fact that the process for sculpting bronze figurines that are incorporated in the fountain is far more complex than one can imagine,
bronze fountains can be quite expensive and can cost between one grand and above. But even with the expensive price, still a lot of people consider this as their first choice because
bronze fountains have wide varieties and there are also loads of various sculptures available. Designs may range from contemporary masterpiece to a more mainstream design like dolphins and other related figures.
All
bronze fountains can certainly make an excellent addition on your outdoor decoration since majority of
bronze fountains are always created with ornate designs. The beautiful patina finish of
bronze fountains makes it more attractive and its properties allow it to withstand various weather conditions. But in order to maintain the perfect look of your fountain, you need to clean it every now and then and knowing how to do this is an advantage for you. Although you do not need so specifically designed cleaning tools to keep your bronze fountain looking spotless and pristine, you need to know how to properly maintain the bronze features.
For starters, you can brush off your
bronze fountains using a stiff brush in order to efficiently remove all the surface debris.
If your fountain comes with highly ornate design, you must pay a close attention to the ornate details and crevices because this is where molds usually begin to appear. You can also use a few drops of mild detergent to make cleaning the surface a whole lot easier. Detergents usually soften molds and other dark spots. This in turn will allow you to easily scrub off the molds from the surface. Once you are done with the first stage of cleaning, you can rinse the fountain features and allow it to dry. You can also use buffing solution and metal polish to make your bronze fountain gleaming and sparkly. Bronzes are easily polished even with ordinary metal buffing solution. This can also help protect the surface of the fountain from corrosion even when it is exposed in the water and other elements for long term.
