Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using insufficient fasteners for the sheet's weight and application.Employ a fastener density and type rated for the anticipated stresses and the mass of the brass sheet to prevent sagging or detachment.
Failing to account for thermal expansion/contraction in the installation design.Incorporate expansion joints or allow for slight movement in the fastening system to prevent buckling or stress fractures caused by temperature fluctuations.
