Mylar Lace can be used to create water features commonly referred to as rain curtains, with multiple individual water streams falling vertically.
This concept requires a relatively low flow rate, and the effect is a quiet and controlled descent of water down the many individual strands of mylar lace.
The individual mylar lace strands are cut from a reel of lace and secured with a water nozzle at the top, and a weight at the bottom. Laces can be cut at any height and there is no limit to the number of laces used. Laces should be spaced at a minimum 35mm apart. The width of the feature in mm divided by 35 will determine roughly how many laces are requred for spacing at 35mm intervals.
Mylar Lace is supplied on 150 metre reels that can be cut up into seperate strands. 1 x Brass Nozzle & 1 x Brass Weight are required for each strand of lace cut.

Description
Mylar Lace Fountain Concept
The Mylar Lace concept uses strands of transparent Mylar Lace to create the illusion that water is falling independently, when in reality, it is simply following the path of the lace. This concept keeps the water under greater control than if it were free falling.
To create a water feature using mylar lace, a water reservoir is required at the base, into which the laces, and falling water would be directed. A rigid pipe of the required length needs to be installed horizontally at the top, and this will need to be cut with 3/8” BSP female threads at interval of 35mm or greater, one thread per lace. The supply pipe needs to be connected to the pump in the water reservoir at both ends in order to flood the pipe evenly. If creating a standalone water feature, a structure would need to be constructed to incorporate the fountain components and pipework. If a structure is already in place, the pipework and components can be installed around this. Such structures could be beams, joists, landings, staircases, or anywhere the top pipe could be installed.
Mylar Lace Components
Mylar Lace.
150 metre reels of Mylar lace can be cut into individual strands of equal length to create rain curtain water features. Water is pumped to the top of the strands of lace and ejected through Mylar Lace Nozzles. Water follows the strands of lace by gravity, running gently from the top of the lace to the bottom in a clean and controlled manner. A Mylar Lace Weight at the bottom of the lace keeps the strands of lace stable. The recommended flow rate is a 1/2 litre per minute per strand of mylar lace.
Mylar Lace Nozzle.
The Mylar Lace Nozzles are attached to a water supply pipe at the top of the mylar lace water feature. The mylar laces are each fastened to a water nozzle directed downward. Water is pumped through the nozzles and is directed down the mylar laces. The nozzles have a 3/8” BSP male thread. The pipe used to connect and supply water to the mylar lace nozzles must have 3/8” BSP female threads cut (one per nozzle) to screw the nozzles into the pipe. The recommended spacing between nozzles is 35mm or greater.
Mylar Lace 200g Brass Weight.
Each strand of mylar lace requires one brass weight to be secured at the bottom of the lace. The weight is suspended on the end of the lace to keep it straight and under tension. The brass weight is supplied with a fastener to attach it to the mylar lace end. Brass Weight Dimensions: 20mm diameter x 100mm height.
