Buying by the pallet or for a job? Ask us for a price.
Plastic horseshoe shims for levelling, aligning, spacing and supporting materials during installation. The open slot fits around a bolt, anchor or fastener that is already in place, so the shim slides in without pulling the fastener and stays put while the frame is aligned.
Made from high-quality plastic. They will not rot like wood shims or rust like metal shims, and every shim in the box is the same thickness.
Colour coded by gauge, so the crew picks the right thickness across a scaffold without stopping to measure.
What it fits
3 x 4 inch shim with a 7/8 inch bolt hole, for a 7/8 inch bolt or anchor.
Gauges and colours
All four gauges share the same 3 x 4 inch footprint and the same 7/8 inch bolt hole, and all four are sold 1,000 pieces to the box, one gauge per box.
| Thickness | Colour | Pieces per box |
|---|---|---|
| 1/16 in | Blue | 1,000 |
| 1/8 in | Red | 1,000 |
| 1/4 in | Black | 1,000 |
| 1/2 in | Brown | 1,000 |
How it is sold
Sold by the full box of 1,000, one gauge per box. Minimum order one box.
Where it is used
Storefronts, commercial doors, glazing, curtain wall, precast and tilt-up work.
Not to be confused with
U shims are a different line: 1-1/2 by 2 inch with a 1/2 inch bolt hole. Its 1/2 inch slot will not fit a 7/8 inch anchor, so the two are not interchangeable.
Fitting
A permanent shim should sit entirely within the joint, behind the finish materials, without interfering with any sealant in the joint.

Delivery
Local delivery is free across New York City — all five boroughs, brought by our own van from our Jersey City warehouse. Past the city we deliver out to 50 miles for $50, with a $2,000 order minimum, because at that distance we run a full pallet. Enter your address at checkout and it will show which applies.
Beyond 50 miles the checkout will not offer a delivery option, because it cannot price freight. That does not mean we will not deliver: press Get Volume Pricing above, tell us the quantity and your ZIP code, and we will quote the freight for your address.
Orders over 150 pounds cannot ship by parcel carrier and move by freight on a pallet. Where a volume price states that local delivery is included, that price covers the delivery.
