Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fastening methods that compromise structural integrity.Consult engineering drawings or material specifications to select compatible fasteners and installation techniques that meet load and environmental requirements.
Neglecting to account for thermal expansion in the design and installation.Incorporate expansion joints or allowance for thermal movement, especially in applications with significant temperature fluctuations, to prevent material stress and deformation.
