Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- Hollow construction reduces weight at large scales while maintaining structural integrity
- 304 for general outdoor use or 316 where exposure to salt or moisture is expected
- Mirror polish reflects the environment, making the sculpture dynamic at different times of day
- Brushed finish reduces glare and hides handling marks, ideal for high-traffic areas
- Painted finish allows for colour integration into architectural or landscape schemes
- Custom size means the piece fits the exact space, not the other way around

Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure with moderate weathering
- 316 stainless steel for coastal areas or environments with road salt or de-icing chemicals
- Mirror polish for a reflective surface that captures sky, light, and surroundings
- Brushed finish for a soft, non-reflective surface that hides minor marks
- Painting for colour integration into a design scheme where reflection is not desired
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the intended site and visual impact
- Small clay or model created and scaled up to the final size with internal support
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the steel shell
- Steel plate forged over the mould and repeatedly ground to shape the form
- Surface polished, brushed, or painted after welding and shaping
- Welded assembly and base fixing designed for installation on site
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 finished surface
- Repeated grinding ensures a smooth surface before final finish
- Inner plastic or foam protection prevents scratches during transit
- Wooden crate packing safeguards the surface during sea freight
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size and height on request, with no standard dimensions listed

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel panther | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass panther | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror and is less durable outdoors |
| A corten steel panther | Corten is chosen for its weathered, rusted appearance; this stainless version is chosen for a clean, reflective surface that does not change |
| A bronze panther | Bronze develops a patina over time; stainless steel maintains its original finish, which is ideal for consistent visual impact |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a standard catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has a clear view of sky, landscape, or architectural features to reflect
- Use 316 stainless steel if the installation is near the coast or in a salted environment
- Clean mirror surfaces with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Plan for 25 to 30 days production time plus 15 to 20 days transport when scheduling installation
- Confirm base and fixing details with the site engineer to ensure stability under wind load
