Installation Procedure

1. Measure and precisely cut the polycarbonate sheet to the required dimensions using appropriate cutting tools (e.g., fine-tooth saw, laser cutter). 2. Prepare mounting surfaces, ensuring they are clean, level, and free of sharp edges that could stress or damage the sheet. 3. Secure the polycarbonate sheet using a suitable fastening method, such as mechanical fasteners with oversized washers or a channel framing system, to allow for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Use oversized washers and do not overtighten screws or bolts. Allow for a minimum clearance of 1/8" around fastener holes to accommodate thermal expansion.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or solvents that can damage the surface.Clean the polycarbonate with mild soap and water, or a non-abrasive plastic cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Common Applications
