Frequently Asked Questions
Do the hollow balls float
The sealed hollow ones do, which is what the float ball versions are for. Say at the enquiry stage whether a ball is going on water so it is sealed and weighted correctly.
Can you match a finish to balls we already have
Send a sample or a clear photograph under daylight. Brushed direction and PVD tone are both matched against a physical reference rather than a description.
Quoting a Stainless Steel Ball Project
Send the position, the height you have in mind and any drawing you already have. A proposal, a price and a lead time come back against those figures.
