Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs and imprecise edges.Employ sharp, appropriate metal cutting tools and deburr edges thoroughly after cutting to ensure smooth finishes and safe handling.
Neglecting to account for thermal expansion in fixed installations.Incorporate expansion joints or appropriate mounting techniques to accommodate potential thermal expansion/contraction of the stainless steel sheet.

Common Applications
