Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these packers be used outdoors?

Yes, they are suitable for typical construction environments, though they should be checked for moisture compatibility if exposed to constant standing water.

Are these packers stackable?

Yes, you can stack multiple 5mm packers to achieve the specific height required for your project.

Are they suitable for heavy-duty structural use?

These are designed for packing and leveling; they provide excellent compressive strength but should always be used as part of a properly supported assembly.

What is the total quantity in the box?

Each box contains 1000 pieces, making it an ideal choice for large-scale professional sites.

Can these be trimmed to size?

Depending on the material of the packer, they can often be trimmed with standard workshop tools if a smaller length is required, though they are designed for standard sizing.

Troubleshooting

Packer slips during installation

Apply a small bead of construction adhesive to the face of the packer to hold it in position until the permanent fixing is applied.

Gap is larger than 5mm

Stack multiple 5mm packers to reach the desired height, ensuring all layers are aligned vertically.

Packer compresses or deforms

Verify that the load is distributed evenly across the surface of the packer. If the structure is too heavy, increase the number of packers used to spread the load.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent thickness guarantees uniform results
  • Large quantity bulk box ideal for major site work
  • High structural integrity for load-bearing spacing
  • Easy to store and transport on-site
  • Reduces time spent manually shimming with scraps

Cons

  • Fixed thickness may require stacking for larger gaps
  • Not intended for tapered or wedge-specific leveling
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal load distribution

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure the substrate surface is clear of debris before placing the packers. For long-term installations, these packers can be secured in place using construction adhesive or held firm by the weight of the structure. They are compatible with most standard timber and composite framing materials. When stacking, ensure that the footprint of the structure is fully supported by the packers to prevent stress concentration points. No special maintenance is required; simply store in a dry environment to ensure the integrity of the material remains consistent for future use.
