Combining polished metal with handcast concrete these domed water bowls add beauty and tranquility to indoor and outdoor environments.

Description

Domed Water Bowls

Introduce the mercurial qualities of water.

These water bowls feature polished metal domes that appear to float inside of concrete vessels. Water flows up through the center of each dome to run over the reflective surface of the hand-spun metal and then drop off the edges into the surrounding water creating sound. Like our concrete pieces, each metal dome is handmade and unique. The variations, inconsistencies and undulations characteristic of hand-spun metal create the beautiful water movement and reflections that define these water features. Hemispherical concrete bowls provide a solid aesthetic counterpoint to the shine of the domes and the fluidity of the water while functioning as impermeable containers. Every dome is attached to a support which holds it securely inside of it’s concrete vessel. Appropriate for use indoors or out for residential and commercial installation.

The three dome sizes each have a different character as the curvature of the metal domes increases with their diameter.

  • The 26” (660mm) Dome has a modest curve that reads almost flat, reflecting its surroundings on its polished surface to create a pool like effect.
  • With it’s wider surface the 36” (914mm) Dome  has a soft curve that bends and reflects light, arcing above the rim of the concrete bowl.
  • As the largest dome the 48” (1219mm) is generous and bold with a pronounced, rounded contour.

Configurations

  • Self contained:These water features allow you to incorporate the experience of water into a setting which does not have an existing water source. This type of configuration holds and circulates all of its own water and requires only a standard electrical connection for the internal pump. Once you place your water bowl,  assemble it and add the required amount of water you simply plug it in and enjoy it.
  • Fully Integrated models: Our water features can be configured to connect into an external water source to become part of a larger system. Integrated water features rely on an external water source, pump and drainage system and can be used in a variety of ways. Call us to discuss your project.
  • Partially integrated – our dome water features can also be used in conjunction with an onsite/existing catch basin, pool or pond to create a self contained system that holds and circulates all of it’s own water.

Dome Testimonials

Solus dome water feature fountainOur Solus Dome water feature, found at the Chelsea Flower Show and now positioned on the rear terrace, has a wonderful tinkling echo and can be heard across the entire lenght of the house when the double bifold doors are open, also in the bedrooms above. Its simple but tasteful design could fit anywhere, inside or out. We are delighted with it.

Outstanding Service

Lisa

We are thrilled with our beatuful Solus fire pit! It was a pleasure working with this Vancouver company and even better knowing manufacturing is done in Vancouver. The product design is beautiful, the staff is knowledgable and helpful and the end result is that we have, not just a gorgeous source of heat on our deck, but a unique focal point and conversation piece.

Excellent Experience The entire process was very professional and easy. Product was delivered when promised and quality was very high. It looks great in our back yard.

I purchased a natural gas hemi 36 back in 2014, and my family has been using it regularly for the past four years. There’s a lot to like about this product and this company. To begin with, our sales and delivery experience was first-rate. I was a little hesitant about having a heavy concrete product shipped from Vancouver to Edmonton, but I needn’t have worried. Our fire bowl arrived very well packed and crated. Moving the fire bowl into our back yard was easy using the supplied lifting straps, but does require two people. Once installed over the gas line we had run for this purpose, the fire bowl looked stunning–sleek and modern and an instant focal point. We also purchased the hardwood tabletop and all-weather cover, and after living with them for four years, I can recommend both. The tabletop has proven very useful for those times when we’re sitting outside with food and beverages, but have no intention of lighting the fire bowl. The all-weather cover, at least the one we have, has worn like iron. After four Edmonton winters, it’s still in remarkably good shape. The fire bowl itself has exceeded our expectations; it’s easy to light,

Wendy Dupree

Excellent Service and product from Solus! I was impressed from my first contact with Solus. Martes answered all of my questions, and our samples arrived right away. Our firebowl arrived on time, in the most incredible packaging, without a scratch, and it looks fantastic in our yard and works great – exactly what we wanted! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Solus to anyone looking for a high quality firebowl.
