Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A 304 stainless steel hand sculpture | 304 may show hammer marks or surface imperfections; 316 is used here to guarantee a smooth, flawless finish |
|---|---|
| A painted metal hand form | Painted surfaces wear and chip over time; a polished stainless steel form maintains its appearance permanently |
| A fiberglass hand sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be polished to a mirror finish; stainless steel holds its reflective quality |
| A bronze hand sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; this stainless steel form is intended to remain unchanged in appearance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a standard catalogue option
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: light, people, architecture, or landscape
- Use 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to de-icing salts
- Clean the polished surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the finish
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production, plus 15 to 20 days for transport, from order to installation
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed to handle wind load and vibration at larger sizes
