Production time is 50 days, with wooden case packing and Factory Direct, Door to Door Delivery.

Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- A custom size ensures the sculpture fits precisely within the intended space, avoiding mismatched proportions

- Mirror finish reflects the sky, surroundings, and people, making the sculpture active throughout the day
- Brushed finishing reduces glare and hides minor handling marks, ideal for high-traffic areas
- Painting allows for colour integration with site design or branding
- Factory Direct and Door to Door Delivery simplifies logistics and reduces handling risk

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A bronze statue | Bronze develops a patina over time, which may not suit a modern public space; stainless steel retains its original appearance |
| A fiberglass figure | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, changing surface; this athlete is chosen for its consistent, reflective form |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a standard catalogue dimension
- Position the sculpture where it can be seen from multiple angles and where it reflects meaningful elements like sky, water, or architecture
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for wind load, especially at larger sizes
- Clean mirror surfaces with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the finish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to winter de-icing salts
- Plan 50 days for production plus sea freight from the date the installation is required
