Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You

- 304 for general outdoor use or 316 where exposure to salt, moisture, or de-icing is expected
- Custom size means the piece fits the exact space, not the other way around
- Production time of 25 to 30 days allows for planning within typical project timelines
- Wooden crate with inner plastic or foam packing protects the polished surface during transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A public garden where a reflective sculpture adds visual interest without blocking sightlines
- An urban plaza that needs a modern, non-figurative focal point with a high finish
- A hotel entrance courtyard where the sculpture reflects the building and arriving guests
- A shopping mall forecourt that requires a durable, low-maintenance feature
- A corporate campus where the sculpture stands as a contemporary landmark in an open space
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Landscape architects designing a reflective feature for a public or private outdoor space
- Property developers commissioning a durable, modern sculpture for a new building or complex
- Hotel and resort designers placing a sculptural element in a guest arrival zone
- Art consultants sourcing a custom stainless steel piece with a mirror finish
- Urban design studios specifying a non-figurative, reflective object for a civic space
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- A blank outdoor space that lacks a visual anchor or focal point
- A site that needs a sculpture but has no room for a large figurative or static form
- Off-the-shelf sculptures that come in fixed sizes and don’t match the space
- A commission with only a reference image and no technical drawing
- A need for a long-lasting finish that won’t fade, chip, or require repainting
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from stainless steel plate over a mould, with two hemispheres welded together
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body selected based on environmental exposure
- Mirror finish applied to the entire shell, with no separate coating or paint layer
- Custom diameter and shape made to specification, not limited to standard sizes
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in urban or suburban environments
- 316 stainless steel for coastal areas, high humidity, or locations where road salt is used
- Mirror polish provides a reflective surface that captures and returns the surrounding space
- The finish is applied to the entire shell, not layered or painted over
- No painted or coated finishes are used; the mirror effect comes from the metal surface
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the site to determine form, scale, and finish
- Small model created and scaled up, with internal support structure designed at the same time
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the steel plate
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to form the shell
- Surface polished to mirror finish, with the weld joint ground and smoothed out
- Final assembly and installation with welded joints finished 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 smooth, uniform surface
- Inner plastic or foam protection in the wooden crate prevents scratches during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter or shape can be made to specification, from small to large scale
- Mirror finish applied to the entire surface, with no alternative coatings
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on the site’s exposure conditions
- Orders accepted from a photograph or a drawing provided by the customer
- Base and fixing details designed in coordination with the final installation plan
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes over time with weathering; mirror stainless steel maintains a consistent reflective surface |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is not suitable for high-exposure outdoor use |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; mirror stainless steel keeps its original reflective appearance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a standard catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, building facades, or movement
- Ensure the foundation and fixing system are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean the mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives or harsh chemicals
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or experiences winter de-icing
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
