Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel penguin | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A bronze penguin | Bronze develops a patina over time, which may not suit a modern aesthetic; stainless steel retains its original appearance |
| A concrete penguin | Concrete is heavier and more fragile; fiberglass is lighter and better suited to outdoor use with less risk of cracking |
| A single large penguin | A pair adds symmetry and visual rhythm, making the installation more engaging in a public space |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a standard catalogue dimension
- Place the penguins where they have a clear view of the surrounding environment to enhance visual interest
- Use 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt in winter
- Avoid abrasive cleaners on polished surfaces; use water and a soft cloth for maintenance
- Plan for 25 to 30 days of production and 15 to 20 days of transport when scheduling the installation
- Confirm whether the base and fixing details are included or need to be designed separately
