Stainless Steel Water Drop Sculpture
3600mm Stainless Steel Water Drops Sculpture
A mirror polished stainless steel water drop sculpture is designed for outdoor landscape spaces where fluid form and reflective surface create a moment of stillness in motion. This piece stands 3600 mm tall and is made from a hollow shell formed by forging and welding metal plates, then polished to a high reflective finish. It is intended for gardens, plazas, or urban courtyards where the shape of a falling drop captures light and movement. The listed size is 3600 mm, and like almost every item in the catalogue, it is made to any size on request. The body is constructed from 304 or 316 stainless steel, with a thickness between 1 mm and 3 mm, and the surface is mirror polished to reflect the sky, surrounding planting, and passing people.

Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- A mirror surface reflects the sky, trees, and people, making the sculpture dynamic at every hour
- Hollow construction reduces weight at large heights, simplifying foundation design
- 304 for general outdoor use or 316 where coastal exposure or winter salting is a factor
- Thickness between 1 mm and 3 mm allows for structural rigidity without excess material
- 3600 mm as listed, or any height and curvature to match the site’s scale
- Packed with soft foam inside and a strong wooden or iron box outside for transit protection
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A garden courtyard where a single sculptural form draws the eye from the entrance
- A public plaza where the water drop shape contrasts with hard edges and paved surfaces
- An urban forecourt where the reflective surface interacts with glass facades and sky
- A landscape feature near a water feature where the drop form echoes the movement of water
- A corporate campus where the piece serves as a subtle landmark with visual depth
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Landscape architects specifying a sculptural focal point in a garden or plaza
- Property developers commissioning a unique feature for a residential or commercial site
- Art consultants sourcing a custom water drop form with a reflective surface
- Garden designers integrating a modern metal sculpture into a naturalistic setting
- Urban designers placing a piece in a public space that needs visual rhythm without figurative content
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- A flat open space with no visual anchor or sense of scale
- A site that needs a sculptural form but lacks room for a large figurative piece
- Off the shelf water drop forms that come in fixed sizes and do not fit the space
- A commission based on a photograph with no technical drawing or dimensions
- A need for a long-lasting surface that does not fade, chip or require repainting
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed by forging metal plates into a drop shape and welding them together
- Welds ground and polished to be invisible on the final mirror surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body depending on environmental exposure
- 1 mm to 3 mm thickness, selected for structural stability and weight control
- Mirror polished surface applied after welding to ensure uniform reflectivity
- Custom height and curvature possible, with the shape formed by external force and shaping
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- AISI 304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure in urban or suburban settings
- AISI 316 stainless steel where coastal air, de-icing salts, or high humidity are present
- Mirror polish that reflects the surrounding environment with high clarity
- 1 mm to 3 mm thickness, chosen based on height, wind load, and structural needs
- Hollow construction using metal plates, avoiding solid casting for weight and cost
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the site, which determines the height, curvature, and placement
- Small model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Metal plate forged into the drop shape using external force and shaping tools
- Multiple plates welded together and ground repeatedly to form a smooth shell
- Surface polished to mirror finish, with welds hidden and surface uniform
- Final assembly and packing with soft foam inside and a strong wooden or iron box
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Welds are ground and polished to be invisible on the final mirror surface
- Repeated grinding and polishing ensures a uniform reflective finish across the shell
- Packing with soft foam inside and a strong wooden or iron box protects the surface in transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any height and curvature on request, with the size range from 100 cm to custom
- Mirror polished surface applied after welding to maintain uniform reflectivity
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on site exposure conditions
- 1 mm to 3 mm thickness chosen for structural integrity and weight control
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the site’s foundation and wind load
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel water drop | Painted mild steel is cheaper but requires repainting every few years; stainless holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass water drop | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large heights but cannot be polished to a mirror and is not suitable for outdoor exposure |
| A corten steel drop | Corten is chosen for a weathered, changing surface; this mirror drop is chosen for a consistent, reflective appearance |
| A solid cast water drop | Solid casting is heavier and more expensive; this hollow shell reduces weight and cost while maintaining form |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the height and curvature against the space around it, not against a catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, water, or building glass
- Allow for a foundation and fixing detail sized for wind load at large heights
- Clean the mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify 316 rather than 304 if the site is coastal or exposed to winter salting
- Plan 20 to 30 days production after deposit, plus sea freight from the installation date
Questions Buyers Ask
3600mm Stainless Steel Water Drops Sculpture Questions
What size is this water drop sculpture and can it be made taller?
The listed size for this piece is 3600 mm, and like most of this catalogue it is also made to custom size. The company states water drop sculptures from 100 cm up to custom height.
Which stainless grade will I get?
This sculpture is made in AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel. Tell us whether the site is coastal or salted in winter and we will confirm which grade suits the exposure.
What thickness is used and can it be adjusted?
This piece uses a thickness between 1 mm and 3 mm. The thickness is selected based on height, wind load, and structural needs, and can be adjusted for custom orders.
How long from deposit to delivery for this sculpture?
The listing states a production time of 20 to 30 days after receipt of deposit. Sea freight is on top of that, so work back from the installation date.
How is a mirror surface this size packed?
In a wooden or iron box with soft foam plastic inside, which protects the polished surface during transit.
Can you build one from a picture I have?
Yes. The workshop takes orders according to a photograph or a drawing from the customer. Send the reference image, the height you want, and where it will stand.
