Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or low-strength fasteners for mounting.Always specify and use industrial-grade fasteners rated for shear and tensile loads that exceed the anticipated stress on the sheet.
Insufficient surface preparation leading to uneven support or premature wear.Thoroughly inspect and prepare the mounting surface for flatness, cleanliness, and load-bearing capacity before installation.
