Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed

Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits

- Custom paint finish allows for colour matching to a project’s design scheme
- 1.0 to 3.0 mm thickness ensures strength without excessive weight at large scales
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the site and intended placement, including scale and finish
- Initial model created to confirm form and proportions before full-scale production
- Plate material formed over a mould to shape the penguin’s body and features
- Welds ground and smoothed to ensure a continuous surface before finishing
- Surface polished to original stainless steel sheen or custom painted as required
- Final assembly and installation details developed with the customer, including base and fixing

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel penguin | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass penguin | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is not suitable for permanent outdoor exposure |
| A corten steel penguin | Corten steel is chosen for its weathered, rusting appearance; this stainless version is chosen for a clean, reflective, long-term finish |
| A bronze penguin | Bronze is heavier and more expensive; stainless steel offers similar durability with lower weight and easier maintenance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space around it—allow room for movement and viewing from all angles
- Place the sculpture where it has a clear view of the sky, water, or surrounding landscape to enhance its visual presence
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt in winter
- Avoid abrasive cleaners on the surface; use water and a soft cloth to maintain the finish
- Plan the 15 to 30 day production window from deposit received into the project timeline
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed to handle wind load, especially at larger sizes
