Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Underestimating the sheet's weight and requiring inadequate lifting equipment during installation.Always consult the material's density and calculate the total weight before lifting. Utilize certified lifting equipment with sufficient capacity and ensure trained personnel are operating it.
Improperly aligning the sheet during fastening, leading to stress concentrations and potential structural compromise.Precisely align the sheet with mounting points before initiating fastening. Use pilot holes where necessary and ensure fasteners are snug but not overtightened to avoid stripping or damaging the material.
