Screws
-
- When pre-drilling polycarbonate, make the hole 1.5 to 2 times the diameter of the fastener to allow for thermal expansion and contraction
- Use screws with neoprene gaskets (1 inch) or plastic washers
- Place screws every 2 feet. For example, for a sheet measuring 4 ft x 8 ft, you will need 15 screws
-
- Avoid over-screwing
- No need to put screws into the sheet near the connector if the connector is screwed in
Silicon
Multicolumn
-
After installing all U caps and H/Snap profiles, apply a thin layer of silicone where the connectors meet the sheet for added sealing and protection
