Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least 2-3 times the hole diameter when drilling.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing point loading and sheet deformation.Use washers and tighten fasteners just enough to snug the sheet, allowing for expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Safety Glazing
  • Protective Shields
  • Impact-Resistant Barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface.
  • Allow for thermal expansion and contraction in all mounting applications.
