Installation Procedure

1. Carefully measure and mark cut lines on the polycarbonate sheet according to design specifications. 2. Utilize appropriate cutting tools (e.g., circular saw with fine-tooth blade, laser cutter) for precise cuts, ensuring proper cooling to prevent melting. 3. Smooth all cut edges using fine-grit sandpaper or a deburring tool for a clean finish.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard wood or metal cutting tools without proper precautions.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting blades and maintain consistent feed rates to avoid chipping, melting, or excessive stress on the material.
Drilling holes too close to the edge without proper support.Maintain adequate edge distance for drilled holes (typically at least twice the hole diameter) and consider using pilot holes for larger diameters to prevent cracking.
