Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate fasteners for the load-bearing requirements.Always select fasteners rated for the anticipated shear and tensile loads, considering the thickness and material properties of the steel sheet.
Failing to account for potential thermal expansion and contraction.In applications with significant temperature fluctuations, incorporate expansion joints or use fasteners that allow for slight movement to prevent stress build-up.

Common Applications
