Volume pricing starts at 20 cases. Delivery is free across New York City.

Plastic U shims for levelling, spacing and aligning windows, doors, storefronts and curtain wall. The open slot fits around a bolt or anchor that is already in place, and shims stack to build up thickness.

The rounded shape leaves no protruding corners and gives more room to move while aligning. Made from high-quality plastic: they will not rot like wood shims or rust like metal shims, and they typically withstand ten tons of compressed force.

Each box holds one thickness only, and the thickness is on the box label.

How it is sold

One thickness per box, in boxes of 50, 100, 250, 500 or 1,000 shims. Fifty is what a crew usually gets through on one job; the larger boxes are for running several jobs off one order. Pick the thickness, then the box size.

Where it is used

Window installation, curtain wall, glazing, precast, tilt-up and glass work.

Delivery

Delivery is free across New York City and within 30 miles of our Jersey City warehouse, on any order — no minimum, delivered by us. From 30 to 50 miles it is free on orders of $2,000 or more; a smaller order at that distance, and every order past 50 miles, ships by FedEx or UPS at the rate the checkout shows for your address.

Big order going a long way? Talk to us before you check out. Parcel carriers charge heavy boxes by the pound, so several cases past 50 miles can cost more to ship by FedEx or UPS than it should. We book LTL freight on a pallet at our rates, which usually comes out far cheaper. Contact the office or press Get Volume Pricing above with the quantity and your ZIP code, and we will quote the freight the same or the next business day.

A single parcel cannot weigh more than 150 pounds. Where a volume price states that local delivery is included, that price covers the delivery.

Trade terms

Volume pricing is shown on the page wherever it applies; for a bigger quantity, a standing order or a job lot, tell us what you need and we will quote it.
