Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel may cost less initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently in outdoor gardens |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes appearance over time with weathering; this polished stainless piece maintains a consistent reflective surface |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; this stainless piece retains its original polished look, ideal for modern garden aesthetics |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard size from a catalogue
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, water, or a building facade
- Ensure the base and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean the mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the garden is near the sea or uses de-icing salts in winter
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production, plus 15 to 20 days for transport, to align with garden installation dates
