RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Ustigate recognise the value and importance of research and development behind each design by creating working mock-ups at their purpose built testing facility in Gravesend, Kent. This process often involves full-size part-sections capable of demonstrating different water flows and effects against alternative finishes to identify the reactive relationship between the water and stone work. We use our mock-ups to experiment with a variety of water effects and illuminations to maximise the desired effects and to guarantee arriving at the best end result. Our testing facility allows clients to prove and shape their design.
