Guide to choosing a fibreglass statue
Selecting the most suitable statue requires evaluating factors related to the intended environment and the size of the surrounding area.
Sizes range from average heights of 60 centimetres up to monumental 150-centimetre models. For wayside shrines, garden grottos or cemetery niches, a height between 60 and 80 centimetres is recommended. For church forecourts, community parks or large outdoor courtyards, statues from 100 to 150 centimetres are preferable, maintaining visibility and proportion even from a distance. The colour finish, often achieved with oil paints and specialised outdoor protective coatings, should harmonise with the architectural and natural surroundings. The lightweight nature of fibreglass compared to stone or marble makes transport and installation easier, while still requiring secure fixing at the base to ensure stability against the wind.
