In recent years, climate conditions around the world have become increasingly extreme—intense heatwaves, heavy rainfall, and strong storms are becoming more frequent. For outdoor sculptures installed in public spaces, these environmental factors not only accelerate material degradation but may also lead to structural deformation, surface damage, or even safety hazards. From material selection to long-term maintenance, every step must be carefully planned to ensure your sculptures remain durable and impactful over time.
- Material Comparison & Weather-Resistant Solutions
Stainless Steel
Features:
High strength and excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for hot and acidic environments.
Polished or brushed surface finishes offer a modern appearance and are easy to clean.
Protection Measures:
Reserve expansion joints at connections to reduce stress caused by thermal expansion.
Regular cleaning with neutral detergents to remove dust and salt residue.
Apply transparent protective coating on key areas to enhance chemical resistance.
Bronze (Copper Alloys)
Features:
Forms a natural patina (verdigris) that adds artistic value; inherently weather-resistant but sensitive to acidic environments.
Protection Measures:
Apply a thin layer of clear protective varnish to prevent acid rain corrosion.
Install waterproof seals at the base joints to prevent moisture infiltration.
Annual inspection and re-coating to maintain appearance and durability.
Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP / GRP)
Features:
Lightweight and highly moldable—ideal for complex forms and vibrant colors.
Good shock resistance.
Protection Measures:
Use UV-blocking primer to prevent discoloration and material aging due to sunlight.
Design internal drainage or base outlets to avoid water accumulation and mildew.
Reinforce internal structures to improve wind resistance and surface durability.
