What is a Bubble Wall?

With the ever increasing popularity of our bubble walls I thought I would share some information and a short video about it. Please find below answers to some frequently asked questions i including how a bubble wall works, what the benefits are and how you can easily maintain it to keep it in perfect condition:

A Bubble What?

A bubble wall is a self contained water wall that emits variant colours using the latest LED technology. It can be designed to a size that suits you and offer a visual enhancement to any commercial property, private home or sensory environment. 

How does it work?

The bubble wall is designed and manufactured to specification at our headquarters in the picturesque town of Knaresborough. Air is pumped via a small yet powerful motor through to the wall, the air is then evenly distributed across the surface of the wall to generate bubbles. Using high quality LED strip lights, the bubble wall lights up and can be customised to set the right mood and ambience. Using the DMX version of the bubble wall you can easily synchronise other lights to match each other, perfect for use in sensory rooms or catching your customers eye on a retail or exhibition stand.

What are the benefits?

In a restaurant environment it creates a unique ambience and is a stand out water feature that will amaze and dazzle customers.

When used in a reception/waiting area it gives clients something to focus on. For example if your waiting to see the dentist it's common to feel nervous or anxious, therefore having your mind focus on the illuminating bubbles will make you calm so you forget your worries.

Using a bubble wall in a sensory room is a great added addition to provide an interactive, colourful and therapeutic experience.

How to maintain a Bubble Wall

Keeping your bubble wall clean and in perfect working order couldn't be easier! We recommend to change the water every 8-10 weeks to prevent any dirt or unwanted bacterial growth building up. Using special BCB fluid mixed in with the water it's just a case of draining it, cleaning it and filling it back up again, easy!

The Waterless LED Tube, an amazing new way to stimulate your senses

The New Waterless LED Tube

Our electronic design team have been very busy this past month creating a waterless LED tube for Apollo Creative. From concept to design to manufacture the team has put a lot of thought and passion into creating a beneficial product to relax and stimulate the senses. Tom, who designed the electronics for the waterless LED tube says, “I really enjoyed working on this project and I'm very happy with the final result, I hope to see it used in as many ways as possible!”
    
Even though Apollo Creative supply water treatment fluid that can counteract the risk of legionnaires disease, some people may prefer to do without water completely. In these situations the waterless LED tube is perfect as it's lights offer a calming, relaxing and stress-free atmosphere ideal for people who need to actively stimulate their senses. It works perfectly in any sensory room with the added benefit of not having to change any water. With its clean modern finish we're really excited to see how we can integrate the waterless LED tube into sensory rooms, exhibitions, retail and beyond. 

The Continuing Positive Development of Sensory Environments

Sensory environments are becoming more available and widely appreciated for the huge features and benefits that they provide. In a recent study by the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, sensory gardens have been proven to give a positive effect on people who suffer from dementia. Apollo Creative has worked on numerous projects installing sensory products such as bubble tubes into gardens for a relaxing, peaceful experience.  

Sensory products can also be utilised in the retail sector, showcasing products and creating eye catching displays, it is a simple way to entice customers and get excited about a product. Retailers are starting to see the benefits of utilising all five senses of their customers to sell not just a product, but an experience.

A sensory room is one of the most popular ways of using the products that Apollo Creative provide. Utilising a space to install bubble tubes, fibre optic lights, projection screens or bubble walls creates the ultimate sensory environment. A simple web-search highlights the positive effects they have on people from children to the elderly. Sensory environments really are developing to become essential in the therapeutic treatment of patients with mental illness.

Sensory environments are helping us to bring calm to the fast-paced world we live in. Being able to provide a relaxing, therapeutic and exciting experience really is at the heart of our business. We can't wait to see how use of sensory products benefits your life.

  

Apollo Creative products for retail display

While our standard products are designed for multi sensory rooms to enhance the lives of those using them, the same ideas can be transferred to retail display and exhibitions. The two areas have a surprising amount of overlap, for example both are trying to encourage a response from those that they come across, and so with a few modifications our products can be ideal for retail.

Products can be suspended in our bubble tubes, stickers can display a company or product logo, and colour schemes can be made to match.
