Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use washers and avoid overtightening. Allow for thermal expansion by not rigidly fixing the sheet at all points.
Using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water. For tougher grime, use a specialized polycarbonate cleaner.
