• Remove burrs when cutting the profile at 45° to avoid displacements or stress points in the square
• Do not exceed the tightening torque of the expansion screw to avoid plastic deformation of the aluminum
• Always use high-quality stainless steel or zinc-plated screws to prevent galvanic corrosion at the joint
• Apply joint sealant to the cut before locking to prevent moisture from entering the square housing
• Apply a thin layer of Teflon lubricant to the expansion mechanisms to ensure smooth and precise locking
• Keep parts in moisture-free environments to prevent the formation of aluminum hydroxide (white oxide) prior to assembly
• Do not reuse disassembly brackets, as the material loses its elastic expansion capacity after the first block.
• Ensure the use of drains at the bottom, to prevent water from accumulating and in turn moving to the corners of the system. This can cause water to enter and cause corrosion in the joints over time
