Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould and welded together
- Weld joint ground and polished to blend with the surrounding surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body selected based on environmental exposure
- Surface finish applied after welding: mirror, brushed, or painted
- Custom diameter as standard, not as a special order
- Assembly and installation completed on site with welded joints finished in place
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure in urban or suburban settings
- 316 stainless steel for coastal areas or sites exposed to de-icing salts
- Mirror polish for maximum reflection of sky, landscape, and people
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting for colour schemes that require non-reflective surfaces
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed in relation to the site, including scale, finish, and location
- Small model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the hemispheres
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell
- Surface polished, brushed, or sprayed after welding and final shaping
- Welded assembly and finishing completed on site to ensure a seamless joint
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 is part of the published method to ensure surface uniformity
- Inner plastic or foam padding protects the surface during transit within the wooden crate
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter to specification, with the company stating spheres from 25 mm to 10 m
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish applied to the same base shell
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on site exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed in coordination with the installation site
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 maintains its finish without intervention |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass sphere | Fiberglass is lighter and less expensive at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, changing appearance; this stainless steel ball is chosen for a consistent, reflective surface |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; stainless steel maintains its original finish, making it better for consistent visual impact |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Select the diameter based on the scale of the surrounding space, not a standard catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has something worth reflecting—sky, trees, building façades
- Ensure the foundation and fixing system are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean the surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that damage the polish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or experiences winter de-icing
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the date the site is ready
