Raimar fountains are an excellent and quick way to build a garden fountain, with convenient door to door delivery in a pallet via courier and easy on-site installation.
The "Standard" series features a uniquely beautiful cladding of hand-processed natural stone and intricate grout work.
The small fountain is a compact solution that provides access to clean water where it's most needed - outdoors, near plants, seasonal fruits, and vegetables, carefully tended by hard-working gardeners.
In keeping with tradition and with respect for outdoor work, the fountains in the "Standard" series are a preferred product of Bulgarian manufacturing.
It's important to know that:
The fountains consist of two concrete parts – a base and a basin (an arch with no bottom), clad with hand-cut natural stone.
Additional small arch with a height of 15 cm for a deeper basin can be purchased separately.
The hole for the faucet is 58 cm from the ground.
The bottom of the basin is poured on-site around the existing drain. If there is no drain with a siphon, the bottom is filled with crushed stone or smooth pebbles in various colors.
Approximate installation time by 2 beginners: 1 hour (excluding plumbing connections).
Our helpful tips:
The "Standard" series offers many more items that can transform your yard or garden into a unique space where family and friends can gather on weekdays and holidays.
The stone fountain can be the beginning of a beautiful outdoor kitchen if you add a compact barbecue. In the functional space for food preparation and preserving, you can add a worktop.
If you want to focus on aesthetics through plants and greenery, the pots and planters from the same series will offer you beautiful options in various sizes.
If you need a garden fountain for your outdoor kitchen, check out our model "Outdoor Sink".
Fountains are usually wall-mounted and do not have stone cladding on the back (just cement plaster). If it is to be freestanding, additional cladding on the back can be ordered (double-sided). If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact us—we'll be glad to assist!
Like every beautiful thing and like every natural material, natural stone requires proper care and maintenance.
We recommend: always treat stone surfaces with the right products for natural stone!
Regardless of the type of stone and its location, a single application of sealing agent will save you unnecessary worries and greatly facilitate maintenance.
Everything needs care. Use the high-quality German products from AKEMI, with which we have been working and recommending for years.
The treated impregnated surface does not allow water and contaminants to penetrate.
The protection with a sealer provides resistance against the destructive cycles of freezing and melting in external conditions. Water simply does not absorb when the stone surface is impregnated but forms droplets.
Depending on the type of sealer, it may not alter the external appearance of the stone or deepen its colors. Choose among the following types of sealers:
"Universal" sealer, which does not change the appearance of the stone and protects against water.
"Wet Effect" - a powerful sealer, like the Universal one, but with colors standing out in a more intense contrast.
"Stain-Free" is the best sealer: it protects against water and grease, also without changing the external appearance of the stone.
The frequency of reapplication depends on conditions and the usage of the stone tiles (whether it is flooring and traffic intensity). Usually, AKEMI recommends every 5 years for exterior stone, flooring + wet areas, and 10 years for interior stone (wall cladding).
How to apply the sealer? - It's easy, like child's play. The stone surface must be clean and very dry. The liquid is applied undiluted with a roller, sponge, or brush. If the surface is smooth polished or matte, a second step is required: the so-called "polishing" with a microfiber cloth for 20 minutes after applying the sealer. And we're done.
What cleaning products are used for natural stone? - Some types of stone, such as marble and travertine, are sensitive to acidic, very strong cleaning agents (e.g. bleach). We recommend: always clean your stone surfaces with a pH-neutral cleaning agent.
Ask us if you have any more questions! We are here and happy to assist.
How to breathe new life into natural stone in the exterior?
In a few steps, natural stone can be restored to its original state, in its full brilliance and aesthetics.
First and foremost is regular cleaning and at least once a year thorough washing with a pressure washer. This is particularly important for our outdoor furniture products (barbecues, sinks, tables, countertops, and pavement tiles).
Once the surfaces are clean and dry, do not forget to apply a sealer.
Tip: Protect your outdoor flooring from furniture that may rust.
For specific stains such as oily spots, efflorescence (cement milk), mold, cement residues, or grout mixtures, silicones, or paints, it is best to contact us directly for consultation. Count on us; we will provide you with the right products to address the issue, wherever and whenever possible.
The durability of natural stone depends on the specific porosity of the stone type and its water absorption levels. For example, the porosity of granite and gneiss is around 1%, while sandstone has over 20%.
The biggest destructive enemies for items, coverings, and pavements exposed year-round are the sun and freeze/thaw cycles. When the stone is sealed/waterproof, you will receive maximum protection and much easier maintenance.
In severe cases of areas with contamination, the non-polished stone surface can be treated with an angle grinder and fine sandpapers. This process removes the top layer of the stone, making it look like new. (The process is similar to sanding wooden parquet.)
Stone is the best friend of the yard and garden. With love for beautiful, natural materials and proper care, the stone will continue to bring you joy for many years to come.
