Benefits and Applications of Precast Wooden Shims
Precast shims are a must in the construction industry especially when aligning shims and 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.
Precast wooden shims are good for supporting panels before grouting. Shims have 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 Shims
Choosing the right shims for your project involves considering several factors, material, solid thicknesses, size and durability. The material of shims should be chosen based on the environment and physical requirements of the project. For example high impact 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 shims for your project’s need to get the best results. Also consider the durability of the shims especially if it will be exposed to harsh conditions.
