Installation Procedure

1. Carefully measure and mark cut lines on the polycarbonate sheet using a non-permanent marker and a straight edge. 2. Utilize a fine-tooth saw blade designed for plastics, such as a carbide-tipped blade, for clean cuts. Maintain a steady, moderate speed to prevent melting. 3. Smooth any sharp edges with fine-grit sandpaper (400-grit or higher) or a deburring tool to ensure a finished appearance and safety.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard metal-cutting saw blade, which can lead to chipping and melting.Always use a saw blade specifically designed for cutting plastics, featuring a fine tooth pitch and sharp teeth.
Applying excessive pressure during cutting, causing stress cracks or delamination.Allow the saw to do the work; apply consistent, light pressure and maintain a steady feed rate.
Drilling holes too close to the edge without proper support, leading to cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance for drilled holes, and consider using a backing material during drilling.
