Installation Procedure

1. Accurately measure and mark the sheet according to design specifications. 2. Utilize appropriate sawing or cutting tools (e.g., circular saw with fine-tooth blade, laser cutter) designed for polycarbonate to achieve clean, precise cuts. 3. Ensure proper support during cutting to prevent flexing and chipping. Deburr edges after cutting for a smooth finish.
