Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge without an expansion gap.Maintain adequate edge distance for drilled holes and incorporate slotted holes or oversized fasteners to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the surface.Clean the polycarbonate surface with mild soap and water, and use a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, and power washing.
