Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp or small, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Utilize oversized washers and fasteners designed for plastic sheet installation to distribute pressure evenly.
Drilling holes too close to the edge or too small for thermal expansion.Drill holes at least 2 times the fastener diameter away from the edge and make them 1/8" to 1/4" larger than the fastener diameter to accommodate expansion.

Common Applications

  • HVAC ductwork liners
  • Glazing for industrial greenhouses
  • Protective shields for climate control equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when used in enclosed heating or cooling systems to prevent excessive heat buildup.
