Your One-Stop Wire Mesh Fence Supplier | POLYMETAL
Stainless steel welded wire mesh is made by arranging longitudinal and cross wires at right angles and resistance-welding each intersection. The result is a rigid, square or rectangular grid that holds its shape, offers clean edges, and installs quickly as rolls or flat panels. It’s widely produced in 304/304L and 316/316L stainless for corrosion resistance, hygiene, and strength.
Materials & Grades Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh
Primary (recommended): 304/304L, 316/316L stainless steel wire
Also available (for non-stainless projects): galfan wire mesh (Zn–Al alloy), galvanized iron wire, e-metal, aluminum–zinc alloy wire
Wire diameter range: 0.5–6.0 mm
Opening size range: 10–300 mm
Hole shape: Square or rectangular
Welding & Surface Options
Welding route: welded from stainless wire (best for corrosion/hygiene)
Galvanized after welding (GAW) or galvanized before welding (GBW) for carbon steel options
Surface treatments (non-stainless builds): electric-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized, PVC coated (all colors)
Optional stainless finishes: pickled/passivated or electropolished for enhanced cleanliness and corrosion performance
Features
Simple, practical structure with clean geometry
Strong welded intersections—no wire slippage, excellent panel rigidity
Corrosion resistant (stainless) / anti-erosion (galvanized routes)
Anti-aging, UV resistant when PVC coated
Attractive appearance for visible guarding and architectural use
