Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Underestimating the weight of the sheet during handling.Always consult the material's weight specification and use appropriate lifting equipment such as forklifts, cranes, or multiple personnel with proper lifting techniques.
Inadequate preparation of the mounting surface, leading to uneven stress distribution.Ensure the support structure is precisely dimensioned, level, and capable of bearing the intended load without deformation. Use shims if necessary for perfect alignment.
