Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp or overtightened.Employ rounded or specialized fasteners designed for plastic sheeting and allow for expansion/contraction with slight tension.
Cleaning with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.Utilize a mild soap and water solution or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner with a soft cloth.
