Benefits Over Other Shims
Plastic shims have many benefits over other shims in various construction sites. Here are some of the advantages of using plastic shims:
-
Corrosion Resistance: shims are corrosion resistant, perfect for use in harsh environments where other shims may deteriorate over time.
-
Lightweight: shims are much lighter than wooden shims, easier to handle and transport.
-
Non-Conductive: shims are non-conductive, good for use in applications where electrical conductivity is a concern.
-
Chemical Resistance: shims are chemical resistant and can withstand exposure to harsh substances that may damage wooden shims.
-
Cost Effective: shims are often cheaper than metal shims, a cost effective solution for construction projects.
-
Plastic shims stay the same size, shape and performance over time even in harsh conditions, long term reliability.
-
Plastic shims can take a lot of stress without deforming, good for demanding applications.

Metal shims, made from materials like steel or aluminum, are for heavy-duty projects where maximum strength and stability is required, such as machinery installation or industrial equipment alignment. Knowing the difference between plastic shims, wood shims and metal shims will help you choose the right one for your project, whether you need strength or a cost effective solution.
Leveling Shims
Leveling shims are a must have tool in many areas because of their versatility and ease of use. In construction, shims are used to level and align walls, windows, doors and other structural elements, to make sure everything is in place and stable. In manufacturing, shims help in positioning and aligning equipment, machinery and other objects, which is critical for operational efficiency. Engineering projects like bridge building and foundation work also uses shims for precise leveling and alignment. Because of their adaptability, shims are used in many applications where correct level and alignment is crucial for safety and performance.
Features and Benefits
Leveling shims have many features and benefits that makes them a good choice for many applications. They are designed to provide precise alignment and leveling, to make sure structures and objects are in place as required. Available in different sizes and shapes, shims can be chosen to fit any project.
