Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fasteners that can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always utilize 304 or 316 grade stainless steel fasteners to maintain the corrosion resistance of the overall assembly.
Inadequate support for a sheet of this thickness and size, leading to sagging or deformation.Ensure sufficient structural support and a robust mounting system designed to bear the weight and maintain the flatness of the 0.682" thick sheet.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Safety Barriers
