Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners that do not adequately distribute the load.Select fasteners that are rated for the intended load and substrate, and ensure proper spacing for uniform support.
Not considering the thermal expansion of the stainless steel sheet in enclosed applications.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible mounting methods where significant temperature fluctuations are expected to prevent warping or stress.
