1. Product Description
Welded wire mesh is produced by resistance-welding longitudinal and transverse wires at every intersection, forming a rigid, dimensionally stable mesh with uniform square or rectangular openings. Bolin primarily supplies welded wire mesh in stainless steel grades 304 and above, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance for demanding industrial, security, and architectural environments. The mesh is available in roll, panel, or custom fabricated forms.
