Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to jagged edges and potential material weakness.Employ sharp, high-quality metal shears or a plasma cutter specifically designed for thin gauge steel to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Failing to account for material expansion and contraction in high-temperature applications.Incorporate expansion joints or provide adequate clearance during installation to accommodate thermal movement.

Common Applications
