304 vs 316 Stainless Steel for Outdoor Sculpture

What Usually Goes Wrong and What Stops It
- Painted and cast pieces need refinishing on a cycle, which turns a one off purchase into a recurring cost
- Stock decorative pieces are never the size the space actually needs
- A mirror surface shows every weld that was not dressed flat before polishing
- Grade choice near water or salt air decides whether a piece lasts or pits
Who Specifies It
Who This Range Is For
- Landscape architects and designers specifying a focal piece
- Developers and hotel groups fitting out entrances and public areas

- Galleries and trade buyers reselling into local projects
Core Advantages
How These Pieces Are Built
- 304, 316 and 316L worked in the same building that polishes them
- Seams ground level before polishing so the reflection runs unbroken across joints
- Mirror, brushed, hammered and titanium gold PVD finishes from one supplier
- Base plates and anchor patterns drawn before the foundation is poured

How a Mirror Polish on Stainless Steel Sculpture Is Actually Achieved
A flawless mirror finish is decided during welding and grinding, long before anyone reaches for a polishing mop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which stainless grade should I specify
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.
Can a mirror finish be kept clean in a public space
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.
How large can a single piece be
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.
Quoting a Stainless Steel Sculpture 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.
