Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. 2. Carefully measure and cut the polycarbonate sheet to the required dimensions using appropriate tools (e.g., circular saw with fine-tooth blade). 3. Secure the sheet using non-abrasive fasteners, allowing for thermal expansion; avoid overtightening.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for plastics to prevent chipping and melting.
Overtightening fasteners, which can lead to stress cracking.Employ washers and allow a small gap around fastener holes to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications
