Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge without considering expansion.Drill holes with a diameter slightly larger than the fastener and at least 2 times the sheet thickness from the edge. Utilize expansion grommets or slotted holes to accommodate thermal expansion.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the surface.Clean the polycarbonate surface only with mild soap and water, using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners or power washing.
