Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants. 2. Accurately measure and cut the polycarbonate sheet to the desired dimensions using appropriate cutting tools (e.g., circular saw with fine-tooth blade, laser cutter). 3. Secure the polycarbonate sheet using mechanical fasteners, ensuring pre-drilled holes are slightly oversized to accommodate thermal expansion.
