Installation Procedure

1. Ensure substrate is clean, dry, and free of debris. Verify sheet dimensions against design requirements. 2. Cut sheet to final dimensions using appropriate industrial cutting tools (e.g., circular saw with fine-tooth blade, CNC router). Maintain proper dust extraction. 3. Secure sheet using mechanical fasteners designed for plastic, ensuring clearance holes to accommodate thermal expansion. Avoid over-tightening.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to stress cracks.Maintain a minimum edge distance of 2 times the sheet thickness for all drilled holes.
Using standard fasteners without appropriate washers, causing over-compression and potential cracking.Employ large-diameter washers or specialized captive fasteners to distribute load evenly.
Improper cleaning with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can scratch or degrade the surface.Clean using a soft cloth with mild soap and water or isopropyl alcohol. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners.
