Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Incorrectly specifying or ordering material thickness for load-bearing applications.Always cross-reference engineering drawings and load calculations with the material's gauge and tensile strength properties before ordering.
Assuming standard surface finishes are suitable for all aesthetic or corrosive environments.Investigate and specify appropriate surface treatments or coatings if the intended application requires enhanced corrosion resistance or a specific visual finish.
