Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- An outdoor garden where a central water feature needs a modern, reflective form
- A public plaza with a water feature that must stand out without being figurative
- A hotel courtyard where the fountain sphere adds elegance and movement
- A private estate where a large-scale sculpture integrates water and light
- A landscape design where a non-figurative object must hold visual weight in an open space
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Landscape architects specifying a water feature for a garden or public space
- Property developers commissioning a sculptural element for a residential or commercial site
- Hotel and resort designers placing a water feature in an arrival or relaxation zone
- Art consultants sourcing a functional sculpture with reflective qualities
- Garden designers needing a modern, durable fountain element that requires minimal maintenance
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- A garden or courtyard that lacks a central visual element with movement and sound
- A water feature that is too small or too figurative for the space
- A commission with a reference image but no technical drawing
- A need for a durable, low-maintenance fountain that won’t rust or fade
- A space where a fixed size from a catalog doesn’t fit the site dimensions
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 forming: mirror, brushed, sandblasted, or painted
- Thickness options from 0.8 mm to 5 mm, depending on size and structural need
- Custom diameter available across the full range from 300 mm to 8000 mm
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in gardens and plazas
- 316 stainless steel for coastal or high-moisture environments
- Mirror polish for strong reflection of sky, water, and surroundings
- Brushed finish to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Sandblast or continent sandblast for a matte, textured surface
- Color painting or electroplate for non-reflective, scheme-specific finishes
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the site, including water flow, placement, and scale
- Small model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the hemispheres
- Stainless steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to shape the shell
- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushing, sandblasting, or painting
- Welded assembly and water system integration on site, with joint finished out
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 surface
- Repeated grinding ensures a smooth shell before surface treatment
- Wooden case packing protects the polished surface during transit
- Thickness and diameter verified before shipment
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter within the range from 300 mm to 8000 mm, including sizes not listed
- 304 or 316 stainless steel based on environmental exposure
- Mirror, brushed, sandblasted, painted, or electroplated finish
- Hole drilling or water inlet fittings added as needed
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel fountain ball | Painted mild steel is cheaper but requires repainting; stainless holds its finish and resists corrosion |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass fountain sphere | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable outdoors |
| A solid metal sphere | Solid construction increases weight and cost; hollow design reduces mass while maintaining strength |
| A corten steel fountain piece | Corten changes appearance over time; this stainless version maintains a consistent reflective surface |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the space around it, not on a standard size
- Position the fountain where water flow enhances the reflection and sound
- Use 316 stainless steel if the site is near the sea or exposed to road salt
- Plan for 15 to 30 days production after deposit, plus sea freight
- Specify thickness based on size and wind load at large diameters
- Ensure the foundation and fixing detail are sized for the weight and water pressure
