Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the work area is clean and free of debris. 2. Carefully measure and mark the sheet according to design specifications using a fine-tip marker. 3. Utilize appropriate cutting tools (e.g., CNC router, laser cutter, or specialized shear) for precise cuts, maintaining coolant if recommended for the tool. 4. Deburr edges smoothly to prevent stress risers. 5. Secure the sheet using appropriate fasteners, avoiding over-tightening that could induce localized stress.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ specialized tools with sharp, carbide-tipped blades and appropriate feed rates to prevent chipping or melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Install fasteners with washers and tighten only until snug, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.
