Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge without proper expansion joints.Maintain a minimum edge distance of 2-3 times the hole diameter and consider using oversized holes with expansion washers for thermal expansion.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, and use soft, lint-free cloths. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners.
