Installation Procedure

1. Prepare the mounting surface ensuring it is clean, level, and capable of supporting the sheet's weight and anticipated loads. 2. Carefully position the polycarbonate sheet, aligning it with pre-drilled holes or desired mounting points. 3. Secure the sheet using appropriate hardware (e.g., washers with fasteners) to distribute pressure evenly and prevent stress concentration.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Utilize washers to spread the load of fasteners and tighten them only until snug, avoiding excessive force.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner, using a soft cloth.
