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
- Mirror polish for strong reflection and visual impact
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide handling marks
- Painting for colour schemes that do not rely on reflection
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the site, which sets the form, scale and finish
- Small clay model created and scaled up with internal support structure
- Plaster mould taken from the model
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell
- Surface polished, brushed or sprayed to final finish
- Welded assembly on site to allow for joint finishing and secure installation
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Welds between sections are ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment is part of the published method
- Internal plastic or foam padding protects the surface inside the wooden crate
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size between 3 and 9 meters, or custom size beyond that range
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish from the same base shell
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body to suit the exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to match the site’s wind load and foundation
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel leopard | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A corten steel leopard | Corten is chosen for a weathered, rusted look that changes over time; stainless steel is chosen for a consistent, clean surface |
| A fiberglass leopard | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror and is not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A bronze leopard | Bronze is heavier and more expensive; stainless steel offers similar durability with lower weight and easier maintenance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the size against the space it will occupy, not against a standard catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has a clear view of the sky, landscape or building facade
- Plan for a foundation and fixing detail sized for wind load at large diameters
- Clean a mirror 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 experiences winter de-icing
- Allow 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the factory
