Benefits Over Other Shims
Plastic shims offer several benefits over other shims in various construction applications. Here are some of the advantages of using plastic shims:
-
Corrosion Resistance: shims are resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for use in harsh environments where other shims may degrade over time.
-
Lightweight: shims are significantly lighter than wooden shims, making them easier to handle and transport.
-
Non-Conductive: shims are non-conductive, which makes them suitable for use in applications where electrical conductivity is a concern.
-
Chemical Resistance: shims are resistant to chemicals and can withstand exposure to harsh substances that may damage wooden shims.
-
Cost-Effective: shims are often less expensive than metal shims, making them a cost-effective solution for construction projects.
Applications
Plastic shims have a wide range of applications in various construction projects. Here are some of the most common uses of rugged plastic shims:
-
Precast Concrete: shims are used to align panels and level precast concrete units, ensuring accurate joint spacings and proper installation.
-
Tilt-Up Construction: shims are used to level and align precast panels in tilt-up construction projects, providing a stable and level surface for final attachment.
-
Heavy Loads: shims are used to support heavy loads in construction projects, providing high compressive strength and durability.
-
Concrete Units: shims are used to level and align concrete units, ensuring proper installation and preventing damage to the surrounding structure.
-
Panels: shims are used to level and align precast panels in various construction projects, providing a stable and level surface for final attachment.
