Solid plastic shims’ most common use is to easily align, level, and fasten in place door and window frames, including alignment for louver systems, skylights, and sloped glazing systems.
For entrance, storefront, and curtain wall systems, plastic door shims and window shims are used to align members or panels, vertically or horizontally, as well as to separate glass panels, permanently or temporarily.
When used for blast-resistant doors and windows, permanent plastic window shims and door shims may be required for extra resilience and can be special-ordered in fire-rated materials.
Able to withstand tons of compressed force, lightweight U-shaped shims are designed to fit around bolts and anchors.
Stack shims are made in fine thicknesses to allow precise increments of leveling or aligning by stacking multiple shims.
Wedge shims are designed for easy insertion where installation is required, especially where the object is installed then shimmed.
Flat plate shims are used where heavy loads are set on top of the shim, often permanently.
Microgrid shims are available with precisely textured surfaces for stacking with increased slip-resistance.
