This comprehensive pack of 250 Broadfix Shims & Wedges is ideal for tradespeople and DIYers needing to achieve precise alignment in construction and renovation projects. It offers a versatile mix of shims and wedges in various thicknesses, color-coded for easy identification, ensuring items can be made square, level, or plumb with a high degree of accuracy. The primary caveat is that while strong, these are designed for non-structural temporary support and alignment, not for load-bearing applications.

They are made from a high percentage of recycled polypropylene, offering durability and resistance to environmental factors.
No, these shims are designed for alignment and leveling purposes only and are not intended for structural, load-bearing applications.
The shims and wedges are color-coded according to their thickness for easy identification.
Yes, the U-shims are designed to be reusable, and the retaining comb feature helps them stay securely in place.
The shims have been tested to withstand a compressive strength of up to 25kN, suitable for alignment tasks.
This pack contains a total of 250 pieces, including a mix of flat shims, small U shims, standard U shims, snap wedges, and precision wedges.
No, the polypropylene material used ensures they will not swell, rot, or corrode, making them suitable for damp environments.
Ensure you are using the U-shaped shims with the retaining comb engaged around the fixing point. For flat shims, ensure the gap is snug or use multiple shims to create a tighter fit.
Try combining different types and thicknesses of shims. Use the color-coding to systematically adjust by small increments. Ensure the item being fitted is correctly positioned before final fixing.
Ensure you are using the correct size wedge for the gap. If the gap is slightly larger than the wedge, consider using a combination of shims to fill the primary space and then a wedge for fine adjustment, or use multiple wedges if the design allows.
Check the full contents of the reusable tub, as items can sometimes nest. If specific types are genuinely missing, contact the retailer for a replacement.
Setup: These shims and wedges require no assembly. Simply select the appropriate type and thickness for your application. For U-shims, slide them around the fixing point and press to engage the retaining clip. For flat shims and wedges, insert them into the gap needing adjustment and tap gently to achieve the desired level, plumb, or squareness. Stack shims of the same or different types to achieve greater heights or precise gaps.
Compatibility: The Broadfix Shims & Wedges are compatible with a wide range of standard construction materials including wood, metal, plasterboard, and masonry. They are designed to fit around standard fixings and within typical construction gaps.
Care: To maintain the product, store the shims and wedges in the provided reusable tub in a dry environment. Clean any dirt or debris with a damp cloth if necessary. Due to their polypropylene composition, they will not swell, rot, or corrode, requiring minimal maintenance.
