Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes over time with weathering; this polished balloon sculpture maintains a consistent reflective surface |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; this piece is designed to remain reflective and unchanged |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard size
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, water, or a building
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for the garden’s ground type and wind exposure
- Clean the polished surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the finish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the garden is near the sea or in a region with winter de-icing
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
