Installation Procedure

1. Measure and accurately cut the polycarbonate sheet to the desired dimensions using appropriate cutting tools (e.g., fine-tooth saw, laser cutter). 2. Prepare mounting surfaces, ensuring they are clean and free of debris. 3. Secure the polycarbonate sheet using mechanical fasteners, ensuring adequate edge distance and avoiding over-tightening to prevent stress cracking.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized blades for polycarbonate, such as carbide-tipped or diamond-edged blades, and maintain appropriate cutting speeds.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracking.Use oversized holes and consider rubber or neoprene washers to distribute pressure and allow for thermal expansion.
