Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Inadequate fastener selection for the sheet's thickness and intended load.Utilize heavy-duty, industrial-grade bolts, nuts, and washers that are appropriately sized and rated for the shear and tensile forces expected.
Failure to account for potential thermal expansion and contraction in enclosed applications.Incorporate slotted mounting holes or expansion joints where significant temperature fluctuations may occur to prevent material stress and warping.

Common Applications
