Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- Painted surface allows for strong colour integration with architectural or landscape schemes
- Hollow construction reduces weight at large diameters while maintaining structural integrity
- #304 for general outdoor use or #316 where exposure to salt or harsh weather is expected
- Custom size means the piece fits the exact space, not the other way around
- Factory Direct and Door to Door Delivery ensures the sculpture arrives with minimal handling
- Painted finish avoids the need for mirror polishing, which can be high maintenance in outdoor settings
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A museum courtyard where a bold painted sculpture defines the entrance and draws attention
- A hotel forecourt that needs a distinctive art piece to enhance arrival experience
- A public park plaza with no central feature, where the sculpture becomes a gathering point

Problems It Solves

- A project where the client wants colour but not mirror polish, which can be too reflective
- A tight schedule where the art must be delivered on time, with no delays from third-party logistics
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould, then welded together
- Welds ground and smoothed before surface treatment to ensure a clean finish
- #304 or #316 stainless steel body depending on environmental exposure
- Paint applied after forming and welding, allowing for consistent coverage
- Production time of 45 days, based on the complexity of the form and finish
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 or locations where de-icing salts are used
- Paint finish that is durable and weather-resistant, applied after welding and shaping
- Hollow construction that keeps weight manageable at large sizes
- Stainless steel base that resists corrosion and supports long-term stability
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed in context with the intended space, including form, scale, and colour
- Small clay or digital model created and scaled up to full size with internal support structure
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the shell
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to achieve the desired shape
- Welds ground and smoothed before painting to ensure a seamless surface
- Paint applied in multiple coats to achieve even coverage and durability
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Welds are ground and smoothed to prevent visible seams or protrusions
- Paint is applied after welding to avoid damage during forming and assembly
- Final inspection checks for paint consistency, surface smoothness, and structural integrity
- Wooden case packing protects the painted surface during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Paint colour chosen from a standard palette or custom-mixed to match a reference
- #304 or #316 stainless steel selected based on site exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the installation site and load conditions
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A mirror polished stainless steel sphere | A painted surface avoids glare and reflection issues in bright sunlight, making it more suitable for close-up viewing and urban settings |
|---|---|
| A bronze or corten steel sculpture | Bronze and corten weather over time; this painted steel piece maintains its original appearance without change |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot support a durable painted finish or withstand heavy outdoor use |
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Mild steel requires regular maintenance and repainting; stainless steel with paint finish is more durable and long-lasting |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the scale of the surrounding space, not on a standard size
- Position the sculpture where it has a clear view of the environment to enhance its visual impact
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for wind load and stability, especially at larger sizes
- Clean painted surfaces with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives or harsh chemicals
- Specify #316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt in winter
- Plan 45 days for production plus sea freight from the installation date
