Concrete Shims: Precast for Leveling Concrete Units, 4 x 6 x 1/18in (160/Box)
High Impact Plastic Precast Shims for Leveling Concrete Units, 4 x 6 x 1/18in (160/Box)Shims are thin pieces of material used to fill small gaps or spaces between objects. They come in various materials like plastic, metal and wood and are used in various industries like construction and foundation repair. Metal shims are very important in providing stability and support when leveling structures like during pier installations. They are durable and maintain their strength and longevity making them good for high load applications.
In construction shims are used to make sure structures are level and stable. They are used to fill gaps and spaces between materials making them good for long term projects. Plastic flat plate shims are an essential component for supporting heavy loads in construction applications like tilt-up construction, precast concrete and masonry. They have advantages over traditional tile spacers, available in various thickness and larger surface area that provides better grip in grout joints.
These precast concrete shims are used to level concrete during construction. Using concrete shims will help to even out irregularities in foundation and other concrete structures as they are being built to keep everything level. Not only leveling with concrete shims makes concrete projects look good but also keeps structures sound in the long run. These precast concrete shims are for leveling in your project and be sure to check out all our concrete accessories and concrete test equipment to make sure your project is built to last.
What are Shims
Shims are thin pieces of material used to make slight adjustments between larger parts, fill gaps, level, adjust and make things fit properly while maximizing alignment and support. They can be made of various materials like plastic, metal and wood and are used in various industries like construction and foundation repair. Shims are very important in ensuring the stability and integrity of structures and their use varies depending on the situation and industry.
In construction shims are used to level and align components so everything fits together perfectly. Whether you’re working with precast concrete, steel beams or wooden shims the right shim can make all the difference in having a stable and secure structure. Plastic shims are favored for their durability and resistance to environmental factors making them good for long term projects.

Benefits and Applications of Precast Wooden Shims
Precast shims are a must in the construction industry especially when aligning and leveling precast concrete panels. These shims are used to maintain joint spacings before final attachment so each panel is perfectly aligned vertically and horizontally. This alignment is critical for the structural integrity and aesthetics of the finished project.
Plastic precast wooden shims are good for leveling and supporting panels before grouting. They provide a stable base for accurate alignment and spacing which is important for precast concrete and tilt-up construction projects. Also they cushion the edges of precast panels as they are tilted up to vertical position preventing damage and making installation smooth.
Choosing the Right Shim
Choosing the right shim for your project involves considering several factors, material, solid thicknesses, size and durability. The material of the shim should be chosen based on the environment and physical requirements of the project. For example high impact plastic shims are good for demanding conditions because of their durability and resistance to environmental factors.
The solid thicknesses and size of the shims are also important. Shims come in various solid thicknesses and size to fill gaps precisely and stable. Choose a shim that fits your project’s need to get the best results. Also consider the durability of the shim especially if it will be exposed to harsh conditions. Durable materials like metal or high impact plastic are good for such environment.
Proper placement of shims is important to distribute weight or pressure evenly. Trim excess material to have a professional finish and to prevent shim from interfering with other parts of the structure.
