- A site exposed to salt air or moisture where painted or mild steel sculptures would degrade
- A project that requires a custom-sized figurative sculpture but cannot afford long lead times
Technical Features
How It Is Built

Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in non-coastal areas
- 316 stainless steel for coastal or high-salt environments where corrosion resistance is critical
- Mirror polish finish that reflects the sky, water and people around the sculpture
- Hollow construction using formed plate and welded joints for strength and reduced weight
- Polished surface that maintains its appearance without fading or peeling
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the site and intended context, including scale and placement
- Small model created and scaled up to full size with internal support structure designed
- Plaster mould taken from the model to guide the forming of the steel plate
- Steel plate forged and shaped over the mould, with repeated grinding to refine the form
- Welds ground and polished to blend with the surface before final mirror finish
- Final polishing, packing in inner plastic or foam and outer wooden crate for delivery
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 ensures a smooth, consistent surface before polishing
- Inner plastic or foam padding protects the polished surface during transit
- Wooden crate packing ensures the sculpture arrives undamaged
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size to specification, with no standard dimensions listed

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel diver sculpture | Painted steel may cost less initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently in outdoor conditions |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass diver sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is more prone to cracking in outdoor use |
| A bronze diver sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time, which may not suit a modern, clean aesthetic; stainless steel maintains a consistent polished look |
| A corten steel diver sculpture | Corten steel is chosen for its weathered appearance; this piece is chosen for its reflective, modern finish that does not change |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space around it, not on a standard catalogue dimension
- Place the sculpture where it has a clear view of water, sky or movement to maximize reflection
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for wind load and ground stability at full scale
- Clean the polished surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the finish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the sea or exposed to road salt in winter
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the date the site is ready
