Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using insufficient fasteners for the sheet's weight and intended application.Consult engineering drawings or a qualified professional to determine the correct type, size, and spacing of fasteners for secure and reliable installation.
Failing to account for thermal expansion in high-temperature environments.Incorporate expansion joints or choose fastening methods that allow for minor thermal movement to prevent structural stress.
