Remesh Sizes

Gauge numbers are most commonly used when referring to steel remesh sizes in terms of building material supplies and contractors. However, steel remesh can also be sized in terms of W numbers. W remesh numbers are predominately used when engineers or architects use metric measurements in a design.
