Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fastenersUse washers and do not overtighten fasteners to prevent stress cracks. Allow for a minimum of 1/8" clearance per linear foot for thermal expansion.
Using abrasive cleaning agentsClean polycarbonate with mild soap and water or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid ammonia-based or abrasive products which can damage the surface.

Common Applications
