Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of debris. 2. Position the polycarbonate sheet according to the design specifications, allowing for thermal expansion if necessary. 3. Secure the sheet using appropriate fasteners or adhesives, ensuring even pressure distribution and avoiding over-tightening which can cause stress cracking.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering thermal expansionIncorporate slotted holes or expansion joints in the fastening system to accommodate the material's natural expansion and contraction with temperature changes.
Applying excessive clamping force during installationUse moderate clamping force and ensure fasteners are installed with washers to distribute pressure evenly, preventing localized stress and potential cracking.
