03. Welding Technology
  • The pipe frame welding is conducted on the outer side of the square tube joints and advanced welding technology is adopted, leaving no welding joints on the outer surface and offering a smooth, flat and beautiful surface.
  • The angle frame welding is carried out on the inner side of the steel angle. All welding joints are perfectly concealed below the frame, thereby offering a smooth, flat and beautiful surface.
