- Two or more sections joined with welded seams, ground and polished to blend with the surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body selected based on environmental exposure
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied after shaping and welding
- Custom height and form possible, with a minimum of 2.5 meters for three-part configurations
- Water flow system integrated into the sculpture’s structure, designed to match the form
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in urban or garden settings
- 316 stainless steel where coastal exposure, road salt or de-icing chemicals are present
- Mirror polish for strong reflection of sky, water and surroundings
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide handling marks
- Painting for colour schemes that do not rely on reflective surfaces
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the site, considering water flow, scale and visibility
- Small model created and scaled up, with internal structure and water routing designed
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the steel sections
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to achieve the desired curve
- Welded sections joined and polished to eliminate visible seams
- Surface finish applied—mirror, brushed or painted—followed by water system integration
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Welds are ground and polished to match the surrounding surface, not left proud
- Repeated grinding before final finish ensures a smooth, consistent surface
- Inner plastic or foam packing protects the surface during transit in the wooden crate
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any height or curvature to specification, with a minimum of 2.5 meters for three-part configurations
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied after shaping and welding
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on site exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Water flow system designed to match the sculpture’s form and site conditions
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel fountain | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting; stainless holds its finish and resists corrosion |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass fountain | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper at large heights but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable outdoors |
| A bronze fountain | Bronze develops a patina over time; stainless steel maintains its original finish, which is preferred for modern, clean aesthetics |
| A corten steel fountain | Corten changes appearance over time; stainless steel remains consistent, ideal for a controlled visual outcome |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the height and form to match the scale of the surrounding space, not a standard size
- Position the fountain where water flow and reflection interact with the environment
- Ensure the base and fixing detail are sized for wind load and water pressure at large heights
- Clean the polished surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the finish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to winter de-icing salts
- Plan 25 to 30 days production plus 15 to 20 days transport from the installation date
