Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel requires repainting every few years; corten steel forms a stable rust layer that protects the structure and needs no maintenance after initial weathering |
|---|---|
| A mirror polished stainless steel sphere | A mirror finish reflects the environment and requires cleaning; corten steel offers a matte, evolving surface that changes with weather and needs no upkeep |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be weathered; corten steel is chosen for its natural aging process and durability in outdoor conditions |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a green patina over time but is more expensive and heavier; corten steel is more cost-effective and easier to fabricate at large scales |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden space, not on a standard catalogue dimension
- Place the sculpture where it can be seen from multiple angles and where the weathering process is visible
- Ensure the base is stable and level, especially in areas with wind or rain
- No cleaning is required after installation; the surface will naturally develop its patina
- Do not apply sealants or coatings, as this interrupts the natural weathering process
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport when scheduling the installation
