Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Can I hang this butterfly wall art in a location with direct exposure to sun and rain?
This piece is specifically designed for covered outdoor spaces, such as a porch, lanai, or deep patio awning. To preserve the vibrant teal, blue, and orange finish, it should be kept away from direct sunlight and moisture. Limiting exposure to the elements prevents UV fading and ensures the handcrafted details remain a focal point of your decor for years to come.
Is this outdoor decor suitable for coastal homes with salty air?
Stainless steel is a resilient choice for coastal regions; however, salt air can be particularly taxing on metal finishes. For homes near the coast, the biannual application of a high-quality boat wax is essential. This creates a marine-grade seal that prevents salt spray from reaching the metal surface, protecting your investment from the accelerated corrosion common in seaside environments.
What materials are used in this outdoor wall sculpture, and how do they handle the elements?
This artwork is handcrafted from stainless steel, a high-quality material favored for its natural strength and corrosion resistance. To ensure long-term durability and prevent oxidation, we recommend applying a premium car or boat wax before hanging. This creates a protective barrier that maintains the metal's integrity in various outdoor environments.
How do I properly maintain the finish of metal outdoor artwork?
To protect the striking colors of this stainless steel piece, apply a premium wax (without added cleaners) prior to hanging and reapply every 6–12 months. Our care guidelines emphasize avoiding "cleaner/waxes," as the abrasive agents in those products can damage the delicate surface. Regular waxing is the most effective way to shield the artwork from humidity and environmental wear.
What are the best placement options for a small-scale piece of wall art?
Measuring 12"W x 11"H with a vertical orientation, this artwork is ideally scaled for intimate spaces like balcony walls, narrow entryway pillars, or as part of a larger gallery wall. For those looking to fill a more expansive area, this design is also available in "Pair" and "Trio" variations to create a coordinated and impactful display.
Does this outdoor sculpture require assembly before hanging?
This is a single, handcrafted item that arrives fully assembled and ready to display. While mounting hardware is not included, we recommend using rust-resistant screws or hooks appropriate for your specific wall type—such as masonry anchors for brick or siding hooks for vinyl—to ensure the piece remains securely fastened during windy conditions.
