Color-coded plastic glass shims are able to align and level frames in three dimensions for proper spacing and optical flatness.
For temporary cushioning, glass shims protect the edges of glass installed on hard surfaces to prevent damage.
Horseshoe shims and U-shaped shims are ideal for fitting around bolts or hinges when installing glass in order to take stress off of the frame.
The advantage of utilizing solid plastic glazing shims is that they are designed to handle heavy weight temporarily or permanently and can withstand the pressure of the glass.
