Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. 2. Carefully position the polycarbonate sheet, aligning mounting holes if pre-drilled or marking for drilling. 3. Secure the sheet using appropriate fasteners, ensuring not to overtighten, which can cause stress cracking. Use washers designed for plastic to distribute load.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Utilize appropriate washers (e.g., neoprene-faced) and ensure fasteners are snug but not excessively tight. Allow for thermal expansion by not fully immobilizing the sheet if significant temperature fluctuations are expected.
Using standard drilling bits without proper technique, causing chipping or melting.Employ specialized plastic drill bits or grind standard bits to a steeper angle. Drill at a moderate speed and use coolant if necessary to prevent melting.
