Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using improper fasteners that may corrode faster than the stainless steel.Utilize fasteners made from compatible stainless steel grades or other corrosion-resistant materials to maintain system integrity.
Inadequate support leading to deflection or structural failure.Design and implement a support structure that accounts for the load-bearing requirements and the sheet's thickness and span.
