Installation Procedure

1. Prepare the substrate by ensuring it is clean, dry, and free of debris. 2. Cut the polycarbonate sheet to the required dimensions using appropriate cutting tools (e.g., laser cutter, fine-tooth saw). 3. Secure the sheet using mechanical fasteners (bolts, screws) with appropriate spacing to prevent stress concentrations. Ensure fasteners are compatible with polycarbonate to avoid cracking.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking and premature failure.Use washers and do not overtighten fasteners. Allow for thermal expansion by drilling oversized holes.
Using incorrect cutting tools, resulting in chipping, melting, or poor edge quality.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades designed for plastic cutting. Ensure proper feed rates and cooling.
