Materials

- 316 stainless steel where salt air, road de-icing, or high humidity is present
- Mirror polish for strong reflection of water, sky and surroundings
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor handling marks
- Hollow construction to reduce weight at large diameters
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the site, including water feature layout and viewing angles
- Small clay model scaled up to the intended size with internal support structure
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the shell
- Plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell thickness
- Surface polished or brushed to the final finish, applied to the same base
- Welded assembly on site, so the joint can be finished out after installation
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Weld between sections is ground and polished to be invisible in the finished surface
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment is part of the published method
- Inner plastic or foam padding protects the surface inside the wooden crate
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel flamingo | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass flamingo | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is better suited for indoor use |
| A corten steel flamingo | Corten is chosen for its weathered, rusted appearance; this piece is chosen for its reflective, clean surface that does not change |
| A bronze flamingo | Bronze is heavier and more expensive, and develops a patina over time; stainless steel maintains its original finish |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the water feature’s scale, not a catalogue reference
- Position the sculpture so it reflects water, sky or surrounding planting
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for wind load and water feature stability
- Clean the surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or uses road salt in winter
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production, plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the factory
