Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or thin sheet metal for structural support.Always verify the required material thickness and gauge for the specific load-bearing requirements of the application.
Not accounting for material expansion or contraction due to temperature fluctuations.Incorporate appropriate tolerances in fabrication and installation to accommodate thermal movement, especially in large-scale or outdoor applications.

Common Applications
