Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for the sheet's thickness and load capacity.Select fasteners with appropriate diameter and grade to match the sheet's substantial thickness and the anticipated load.
Neglecting to account for thermal expansion/contraction in the design.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible mounting points where significant temperature fluctuations are expected.

Common Applications

  • Heavy-duty structural bracing systems
