Installation Procedure

1. Ensure surfaces are clean and free of debris before mounting. 2. Secure the sheet using appropriate fasteners (e.g., bolts with washers) at a density sufficient to prevent bowing or vibration. 3. Allow for thermal expansion and contraction by not over-tightening fasteners and using slotted holes where necessary.
