Problems It Solves

Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow body formed from two hemispheres over a mould, welded together
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body depending on environmental exposure
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied to the same shell
- Custom size as standard, not a special order, to match site dimensions
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure
- 316 stainless steel where coastal air or road salt is present
- Mirror polish, which reflects the surrounding space clearly
- Brushed finishing, which reduces glare and hides minor surface marks
- Painting, used when the design requires a colour rather than reflection
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the site, which sets form, size and finish
- Small clay model created and scaled up with internal support structure
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the shell
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell
- Surface mirror polished, brushed or sprayed to final finish
- Welded assembly on site, so the joint can be finished out after installation
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- The weld between hemispheres is polished out, not left proud
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment is part of the published method
- Wooden case packing protects the polished surface during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Mirror, brushed, painted or coloured finish
- 304 or 316 body to suit the exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail worked out with the piece
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel bee sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting; stainless holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass bee sculpture | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish |
| A corten steel bee sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, changing surface; mirror polished stainless is chosen for consistent reflection |
| A bronze bee sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; mirror stainless maintains its original appearance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the size against the space it will occupy, not against a catalogue standard
- Place the sculpture where it has something worth reflecting: sky, trees, building facades
- Allow for a foundation and fixing detail sized for wind load at larger diameters
- Clean a mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to winter de-icing salts
- Plan 35 days production plus sea freight from the date the installation must be complete
