Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made

- Final assembly and welding done on site to ensure the joint is flush and finished

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A real stone sculpture | Natural stone is heavy, costly to transport, and prone to weathering; this stainless version is lighter, easier to install, and maintains its form and finish |
|---|---|
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted mild steel requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be mirror polished and is not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes appearance over time; this piece maintains a consistent, reflective surface |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the open space around it, not on a catalogue standard
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, glass, paving, or greenery
- 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 polish
- Specify #316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or experiences winter salting
- Plan 35 days for production plus sea freight from the installation date
