- A design that calls for a reflective surface but cannot use glass or acrylic due to durability concerns
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow stainless steel body formed from a single shell, not assembled from multiple parts
- Shell thickness between 1.0 and 3.0 mm, selected based on size and structural need
- Material choice of 304 or 316 stainless steel based on environmental exposure
- Surface finish available in original stainless steel color or custom painted
- Production lead time of 15 to 30 days after deposit, depending on complexity

Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in non-corrosive environments
- 316 stainless steel for coastal areas or locations with frequent de-icing salt
- Original stainless steel color provides a reflective, clean surface that ages minimally
- Custom paint finish allows the sculpture to match a specific color scheme or branding
- 1.0 to 3.0 mm thickness balances strength, weight and cost across different sizes
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the intended site and visual role of the swan
- Small model created and scaled up to the final size with internal support details
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the shell
- Stainless steel plate forged over the mould and ground repeatedly to shape
- Surface polished to original stainless finish or painted to custom color
- Welded assembly and installation details worked out with the customer
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Welds are ground and polished to blend with the surface, not left visible
- Thickness is verified across the shell to ensure structural consistency
- Surface finish is inspected under natural light to confirm uniformity
- Final inspection before packing to ensure no damage to the polished or painted surface
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size is possible—this is not a standard size but a custom build
- Material choice between 304 and 316 stainless steel based on site exposure
- Surface finish in original stainless steel or custom painted to any color
- Base and fixing system designed to match the installation site and load requirements
- Orders accepted from a photograph or technical drawing provided by the customer
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel swan | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish without maintenance |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass swan | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is more prone to cracking under impact |
| A bronze swan | Bronze develops a patina over time; this stainless steel swan is designed to retain its original surface without change |
| A corten steel swan | Corten steel is chosen for its weathered appearance; this piece is made to remain reflective and unchanged |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a standard catalogue dimension
- Install the swan where it has a clear view of sky, water, or landscape to maximize reflection
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to winter de-icing salts
- Plan the foundation and anchoring system to handle wind load, especially at larger sizes
- Clean the surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that damage the finish
- Allow 15 to 30 days for production after deposit, plus sea freight time from the factory
