Why Choose Hand Made Water Features Over Mass Produced?

What’s the difference between mass-produced and handmade water features?

Simply put, quality and individuality mean luxury. When water features are mass-produced, the focus is on producing what the majority of the population wants, rather than focusing on a handmade design that delights a select number of people and surpasses their expectations.

What’s the problem with mass-produced water features?

Focusing on mass production to satisfy the mass population can lead to uninspiring designs. The focus is on how many units can be sold—what size water feature will sell the most, what design has been around the longest and will sell well, or what is trending at this particular moment in time.
How can you make the water feature as cheaply as possible to open up the price to as many people as possible? This dictates the materials, how they are made—quite often abroad, in high quantities—and shipped across in containers.

This, in our view, means the water feature tends to be selected by customers simply to ‘tick a box’—to say they have chosen a water feature for their garden—rather than having one that truly brings delight and emotions of happiness every time they see it.

So why not go for a handmade water feature every time?

If you're looking for a water feature that’s handmade, the choices are going to be limited, so what’s available needs to have the right design you're looking for. Handmade in relatively low numbers here in the UK, with much more labour involved and often higher material costs, the price of the water feature will most likely be a lot more expensive.
