Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners instead of corrosion-resistant onesAlways use 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and maintain the integrity of the assembly.
Improper handling leading to surface scratches or dentsEmploy non-marring lifting and handling equipment to preserve the finished surface, especially in aesthetic or food-grade applications.

Common Applications

  • Safety barriers and guardrails
  • Industrial flooring and platforms
  • Machine guarding and enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper grounding if used in electrical environments.
