Fountain Sculpture

The listed size is 240 cm, and like most items in the catalogue, it is made to any custom size on request. Constructed from 304 or 316 stainless steel, the body is formed as a single shell with a mirror finish, and it is intended to stand in a fixed position where water flows over its surface. The sculpture is built to withstand outdoor exposure and is delivered in a wooden crate with internal plastic or foam protection.

Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed

Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure with no salt or deicing agents

- Mirror polish that reflects the surrounding environment, including sky, water and people
- Hollow construction that keeps weight manageable at large heights
- Stainless steel that resists rust and maintains its finish without repainting
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the site, including water flow path and visual impact
- Small clay model created and scaled up to the final size with internal support structure
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the steel plate
- Steel plate forged over the mould and ground repeatedly to achieve the final form
- Surface polished to mirror finish across the entire sculpture
- Welded assembly and water system integration prior to delivery, with final fixings on site
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, not left proud or visible
- Repeated grinding before polishing ensures a flawless surface
- Internal plastic or foam packing protects the polished surface during transport
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter to specification, with the company stating spheres from 25 mm to 10 m
- Mirror finish applied to the entire surface, with no variation in polish

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel fountain | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass water feature | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror and is not suitable for outdoor exposure |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, rusted appearance over time; this piece is chosen for a clean, reflective surface that does not change |
| A simple water basin with a flat surface | A flat basin reflects only the sky and sky only; this sculpture reflects the environment, water and movement |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the height and diameter against the open space, not against a catalogue size
- Position the sculpture where water flow creates sound and movement without disturbing nearby areas
- Ensure the base and fixing detail are sized for wind load and water pressure at large heights
- Clean the 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 uses deicing salts in winter
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the date the site must be ready
