Installation Procedure

1. Ensure surfaces are clean and free of debris. 2. Precisely cut the polycarbonate sheet to the required dimensions using appropriate cutting tools (e.g., fine-tooth saw or laser cutter). 3. Secure the sheet using the recommended fastening system, ensuring even pressure distribution and avoiding over-tightening to prevent stress cracking.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Utilize specialized blades for polycarbonate or a laser cutter to achieve clean, chip-free edges and prevent premature cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration.Employ washers and allow for thermal expansion by not fully seating fasteners. Ensure a consistent and moderate torque.
