Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- A mirror or brushed finish reflects the surrounding environment, making the sculpture dynamic across daylight hours
- Hollow construction reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity at large scales
- #304 for general outdoor use or #316 where exposure to moisture or salt is a factor
- Surface finish applied to the same shell, so the finish is consistent across the entire form
- 200 cm as listed, or any diameter specified by the customer
- Factory Direct and Door to Door Delivery ensures the piece arrives with minimal handling and intact finish
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A public garden where a single abstract form must anchor the open space without competing with planting
- An urban plaza that needs a contemporary sculptural element to define the centre of a paved area
- A private garden with a modern design language that requires a large-scale metal artwork
- A corporate campus where the sculpture serves as a visual landmark between buildings
- A residential courtyard where the piece adds scale and visual interest without blocking sightlines

Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line

- A commission based on a photograph but without a technical drawing or model
- A need for a durable, low-maintenance sculpture that does not require repainting or repair
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Constructed from two hemispheres formed over a mould and welded together
- Welds ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- Made from #304 or #316 stainless steel depending on environmental exposure
- Surface finish applied after forming—mirror, brushed, or painted from the same base
- Custom diameter as standard, not as a special order, with no fixed size limit
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- #304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure in urban or garden settings
- #316 stainless steel for sites with high moisture, coastal air, or winter road salt
- Mirror finish to reflect sky, plants, and people, creating a dynamic visual effect
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks from handling
- Painting applied to the same shell to match a design scheme or colour palette
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed in context with the garden or urban space
- Small clay model created and scaled up to the final size with internal 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, brushed finish, or paint after shaping
- Welded assembly completed on site to allow for final joint finishing
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it has its own professional QC team
- Welds are ground and polished to be flush with the surface, not raised
- Repeated grinding is part of the published method before surface treatment
- Wooden case packing protects the polished surface during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish applied to the same shell
- #304 or #316 stainless steel based on site exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing details designed in coordination with the final installation
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper upfront but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass sculpture | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, changing surface; this piece is chosen for a consistent, reflective finish |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; this stainless steel piece maintains its original surface without change |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the size of the sculpture relative to the open space around it, not to a catalogue reference
- Place the piece where it has something to reflect—sky, trees, building lines, or movement
- Ensure the foundation and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean mirror surfaces 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 winter de-icing salts
- Plan 35 days for production, plus sea freight and on-site installation time
