Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners for aluminum, leading to galvanic corrosion.Always use fasteners made of compatible materials, such as stainless steel (300 series) or anodized aluminum fasteners, to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-stressing the material beyond its yield strength during installation.Consult engineering drawings and load calculations to ensure the sheet and its mounting points can safely support the intended loads.

Common Applications
