304 vs 316 Stainless Steel for Outdoor Sculpture
The grade decision costs little at the quotation stage and a great deal once a piece starts pitting. Here is how to make it properly.

Fabricated stainless steel sculpture for landscape, public and interior positions, made to the dimensions of the space rather than to a catalogue size.

The grade decision costs little at the quotation stage and a great deal once a piece starts pitting. Here is how to make it properly.

A flawless mirror finish is decided during welding and grinding, long before anyone reaches for a polishing mop.

Two completely different routes to a large sculpture, each with a form language it suits and one it fights.

Every stage of a commission, what can still change at each point, and what is locked once it passes.
304 is right for most inland positions. Within reach of salt spray, or anywhere in contact with chlorinated water, 316 or 316L is worth the difference because it resists the pitting that 304 will eventually show.
It can, but it shows fingerprints. Where a piece is within arm's reach of the public all day, a brushed or hammered finish usually makes more sense and costs no more.
Size is limited by transport and site access rather than by fabrication. Larger pieces are built, trial assembled, then split into marked sections that fit the access you have.
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.
