- Corten steel option provides a weathered, rusted appearance that changes over time
- Mirror, brushed, painting or plate finishes are all available from the same base shell

Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed

Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould and welded together
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- #304 or #316 stainless steel body for outdoor durability, or corten steel for a weathered look
- Surface finish applied as mirror, brushed, painting or plate from the same base shell
- Custom diameter as standard, not a special order, with production time of 25 to 30 days
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- #304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure
- #316 stainless steel where coastal air or road salt is present
- Corten steel for a surface that develops a rusted, weathered appearance over time
- Mirror polish for a reflective surface that shows the surrounding environment
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide handling marks
- Painting or plate finish for a solid red surface that does not reflect
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the site, which sets content, form and colour
- Small model of the piece, scaled up with internal support designed alongside
- Plaster mould taken from the model
- Plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell
- Surface treated as mirror, brushed, painted or plated
- Welded assembly on site, so the joint can be finished out
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- The weld between hemispheres is polished out rather than left proud
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment is part of the published method
- Wooden case packing protects the surface during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter to specification; the company states spheres from 25 mm to 10 m
- Mirror, brushed, painting or plate finish available
- #304 or #316 stainless steel body, or corten steel for weathering
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail worked out with the piece
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A mirror polished stainless steel sphere | A red painted or plated sphere stands out visually without relying on reflection, while a mirror surface shows the environment and may not suit a bold design |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sphere | Corten changes over time with rust and weathering; a red painted sphere maintains a consistent appearance |
| A fiberglass sphere | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror or painted in a durable red finish |
| A mild steel sphere with paint | Painted mild steel requires repainting every few years; stainless steel and corten maintain their finish without maintenance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the diameter against the open space around it, not against a catalogue size
- Choose a red finish if the piece needs to stand out in a busy urban setting
- Use #316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or treated with de-icing salts
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
- Ensure the foundation and fixing detail are sized for wind load at large diameters
- Specify whether you want a mirror, brushed, painted or plated finish before ordering
