Reflecting pool / water mirror

Choosing a water mirror for your garden, especially in materials such as black lacquered or corten steel, not only adds an element of elegant design and timeless beauty, but also provides multiple benefits for the environment and wildlife.

• Aesthetic integration and design flexibility

Black lacquered finish: Offers a modern and sophisticated look that can complement any garden design and reflect the beauty of your outdoor space with its smooth and polished finish.
Corten steel: Known for its rustic and durable nature, Corten steel develops a protective layer of rust that not only gives it a distinctive natural look but also protects it from further corrosion. The warm, earthy tones blend beautifully with outdoor environments, making it perfect for gardens.

• Benefits

Water conservation: Water mirrors are designed to have a large surface area but require relatively little depth. This design minimizes water consumption compared to traditional garden ponds or water elements, making them a great choice.
Heat reduction: Both materials, especially the reflective surface in a black lacquered finish, can help to reduce the heat in your garden by reflecting sunlight. This reflection reduces the heat absorption that would typically contribute to the urban heat island effect, creating a cooler environment.

• Benefits for wildlife

Wildlife habitat: Water features, including water mirrors, can attract a variety of wildlife to your garden, including birds, beneficial insects and small mammals, and provide them with an important source of drinking and bathing water.
Supports biodiversity: By attracting wildlife, water features help to increase biodiversity in your garden. This is especially valuable in urban areas where natural habitats may be limited.

• Durability

Materials: Both black painted steel and Corten steel are known for their durability and longevity. Corten steel in particular has excellent resistance to weathering, meaning your water mirror will maintain its integrity and appearance over time without the need for frequent replacement or repair.
Reduced maintenance: These materials require minimal maintenance, which not only reduces the need for chemical cleaners, but also reduces the overall environmental impact. Corten steel, for example, is naturally resistant to corrosion, while the black painted finish is easy to clean and maintain.

Incorporating a black painted or corten steel wall element into your garden is a decision that not only enhances the beauty and aesthetics of your outdoor space, but also contributes positively to the environment and local wildlife. These materials offer durability, sustainability and timeless design, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to create a more eco-friendly and wildlife-friendly garden.

The black RAL code we use is RAL 9005 semi-matt.

The mirror pool is made of galvanized steel plate, which is painted in our own paint scheme. The beautiful black mirror pool gives an exclusive and simple look to your garden.

As they are painted, they will be more delicate than e.g. corten steel, however, always be careful with the surface as scratches can occur more easily on this surface.
