Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or inappropriate fasteners, leading to instability.Always use fasteners with adequate shear and tensile strength, and ensure they are properly torqued for a secure installation.
Mounting on an uneven or unsupported surface, causing flex and potential failure.Verify the mounting surface is perfectly flat and adequately reinforced to prevent bowing or stress on the sheet.

Common Applications
