Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that can corrode and compromise the integrity of the installation.Always utilize stainless steel fasteners (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) that are compatible with the sheet material to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can lead to deformation of the sheet or damage to the mounting surface.Apply fasteners with appropriate torque, ensuring a snug fit without excessive pressure. Utilize washers to distribute the load evenly.
