Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or insufficient fasteners for the sheet's weight and intended load.Always select fasteners with adequate shear strength and tensile strength, considering the dynamic and static loads the sheet will endure.
Failure to account for thermal expansion and contraction in the installation design.In environments with significant temperature fluctuations, incorporate expansion joints or slotted holes to prevent stress buildup and material deformation.
