Water Features

UAMW designs and fabricates custom metal water features for residential and commercial projects across Canada, from wall-mounted water walls and cascades to linear troughs, fountains, reflecting pools and sculptural water installations. Every feature is fabricated in-house in 316 stainless steel, corten or powder-coated steel, built for continuous water exposure and Canadian freeze-thaw winters.

Our water feature services include:

Water walls and cascades
Wall-mounted or freestanding, single and multi-plane designs, indoor or outdoor

Linear troughs, rills and overflow channels
For courtyards, terraces and architectural landscapes

Fountains and sculptural water features

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 316 stainless steel is the recommended standard for features with continuous water contact. It contains molybdenum, which gives much better resistance to chlorine, salt and de-icing runoff than 304. Corten suits designs that call for a weathered look, though its runoff can stain light-coloured paving, so drainage and surrounding materials should be planned for.

  • Yes. We fabricate water walls in stainless steel and other metals for indoor and outdoor use. Walls can be built to almost any dimension, with an integrated reservoir, pump and lighting, and we coordinate with your mechanical and electrical trades for installation.

  • Yes. Water features in Canada should be drained and dried before freeze-thaw cycles begin. Stainless steel is unaffected by freezing, but standing water can damage pumps and fittings. We can build winterization points, such as accessible drains, into the design.

  • Yes. We regularly fabricate from drawings, 3D models or concept sketches, and can advise on weld details, drainage, access for maintenance and finish selection.

  • All of our water features are custom. Shape, size, finish and flow pattern are designed around your site, from a small sculptural pour to a full-height lobby wall.

  • Yes. UAMW fabricates in Mississauga, Ontario and supplies projects across Canada. Contact us with your location and timeline and we will confirm delivery and installation arrangements.

  • Most custom water features take 6 to 10 weeks from approved drawings to delivery, depending on complexity. Ordering early helps coordinate with your landscape or pool contractor's schedule.
