Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without consideration for thermal expansion.Employ oversized holes and consider elastomeric washers to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress buildup.
Improper cleaning agents that can degrade polycarbonate.Use only mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
