Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell constructed from two hemispheres formed 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—on the same shell
- Custom diameter and shape made to specification, not limited to standard sizes
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in urban or suburban environments
- 316 stainless steel for coastal areas or locations where de-icing salts are used
- Mirror polish for strong reflection and visual impact
- Brushed finish to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting for colour integration with architectural or landscape schemes
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the site to determine form, scale and finish
- Small model created and scaled up to confirm proportions and support structure
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the metal shell
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to achieve the final form
- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushing or painting as required
- Welded assembly completed on site to ensure the joint is finished to the same standard
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 process to ensure surface uniformity
- Inner plastic or foam packing protects the surface during transport
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size and shape can be made to specification, with no standard dimensions
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied to the same 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 details designed to match the installation site
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and less expensive at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is more suitable for indoor use |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, rusted appearance over time; this sculpture is chosen for a consistent, reflective surface |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze has a traditional look and develops a patina; this piece maintains a modern, clean finish without change |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the open space around it, not on a catalogue standard
- Position the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, water, planting or architecture
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean the surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt in winter
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production, plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the factory to site
