Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners that do not adequately support the sheet's weight and potential loads.Always consult the structural design or engineering specifications to determine the correct fastener size, type, and spacing required for secure and safe installation.
Failing to account for thermal expansion and contraction of the aluminum in enclosed or temperature-fluctuating environments.Incorporate expansion joints or slotted mounting holes where necessary to prevent stress buildup and potential deformation of the sheet or surrounding structures.
