Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel requires maintenance and repainting over time; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass sphere | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes appearance over time through weathering; this stainless steel piece maintains a consistent reflective surface |
| A solid metal sculpture | Hollow construction reduces weight and cost at large diameters while preserving visual impact |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Select the diameter based on the scale of the surrounding space, not on a standard size
- Place the sculpture where it has a clear view of sky, water, or architecture to maximize reflection
- Ensure the foundation and fixing system are sized for wind load, especially at 6 meters and above
- Clean the mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or tools
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or experiences winter salting
- Plan the 25 to 30 day production window and 15 to 20 day transport period into the project schedule
