Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel globe | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass sphere | Fibreglass is lighter and less expensive but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is not suited for outdoor exposure |
| A corten steel form | Corten changes over time with weathering; a mirror sphere is chosen when a consistent, reflective surface is needed |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina; mirror stainless steel maintains its original appearance for long-term use |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the space it will occupy, not on a catalogue size
- Place the sphere where it has something to reflect—sky, plants, or architectural features
- Ensure the base and fixing are sized for wind load if placed outdoors
- Clean the mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or experiences winter salting
