The most common height of a floor fountain is 90 inches or 72 inches as well as these can
The width is most usually like 32 inches but other common widths are 24 inches as well as 18 inches.

Materials used

The common material for floor fountains is the glass. The glass fountains have wooden base and then a long glass supported by wooden frames and the water actually cascades down from these on to the base.

Slate fountains are made on the same lines but the difference being that they have a base which is made of slate as well the cascade on the water happens on a sheet of slate.

The most stylish of the all of the indoor floor fountains are the bubble floor fountains which have actually two glass sheets joined with each other with small in between them and through which you can see the bubbles floating in the water.
In fact in these you cannot even touch the water as it is enclosed inside the glass sheets. And in most cases the glass sheets are shaped to like waves and the water in between is usually aqua or mild green colored and it gives a wonderful effect at night.
