Stainless Steel Sculpture

The listed size is custom size, and like almost every item in the catalogue, it is made to any diameter or height on request.

Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres welded together over a mould
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body selected based on exposure conditions
- Surface finish applied after welding: mirror, brushed or painted
- Custom size as standard, not as a special order, with no fixed dimensions
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor garden use in non-coastal areas
- 316 stainless steel for gardens near salt sources or in high humidity environments
- Mirror polish for maximum reflection of sky, trees, and surrounding space
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor handling marks
- Painting where the design calls for colour rather than reflective surface
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the garden site, including form, scale, and finish
- Small model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the metal shell
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell thickness
- Surface polished, brushed or sprayed after welding and grinding
- Welded assembly completed on site, with joint finished to match the shell
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Weld between hemispheres is ground and polished to be flush, not raised
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment ensures a smooth base
- Inner plastic or foam padding protects the surface during transit in wooden crate
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter or height to specification, with no fixed size in the catalogue
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish selected based on the garden’s lighting and colour scheme
- 304 or 316 stainless steel chosen based on the garden’s exposure to moisture or salt
- Orders accepted from a photograph or a technical drawing provided by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the garden’s ground type and wind load
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted mild steel is cheaper upfront but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently in outdoor gardens |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen when the client wants the surface to weather and develop a rust patina; stainless steel is chosen when the surface must remain unchanged |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is more suitable for indoor or sheltered spaces |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze is heavier and more expensive, and it develops a green patina over time; stainless steel maintains its original appearance without change |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden’s scale, not on a catalogue standard
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, or garden walls
- Use 316 stainless steel if the garden is near a coastal area or exposed to road salt
- Avoid abrasive cleaners on mirror surfaces; use water and a soft cloth for maintenance
- Plan the production window of 25 to 30 days plus 15 to 20 days transport from the installation date
- Confirm the base and fixing method with the site’s ground type and wind exposure
