Description
Horseshoe shims from Timco are used for quick levelling, spacing and packing during window fitting, door fitting, dry lining, stud work and general frame installation. Their horseshoe shape allows them to be positioned around screws and fixing points without fully removing the fixing.
Made from durable polypropylene, these plastic glazing packers are waterproof and resistant to weather changes, making them suitable for a wide range of internal and external fitting jobs. They are useful for supporting frames, adjusting levels and creating accurate spacing during installation work.
This assorted pack includes 100 horseshoe shims in mixed sizes and thicknesses, giving fitters a practical selection for different gaps and levelling requirements on site. They are ideal for trade window fitting, frame alignment, batten levelling and general construction shimming.
Always choose the correct shim thickness and position for the frame, fixing point and installation method being used. Check the frame or system manufacturer guidance where required.
