FAQs

What material are these packers made from?

They are made from high-quality Polyethylene (PE) plastic.

What are the dimensions of each packer?

Each packer measures 100mm in length and 28mm in width.

How can I tell the difference between the sizes?

The packers are color-coded for easy identification of their thickness, ranging from 1mm to 6mm.

Can these packers be used outdoors?

Yes, their moisture-resistant and rot-proof plastic construction makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Are these packers suitable for heavy-duty structural applications?

While durable, they are primarily designed for leveling and spacing in glazing, cladding, and general construction. For very heavy structural loads, assess suitability or consider alternative materials.

Do you offer different shapes or only flat packers?

This product specifically offers flat packers in various thicknesses.

How many packers are in a pack?

The product is described as a '50 Pack Assorted Plastic Window And Glazing Packers Spacers'.

Troubleshooting

Packer is too thick for the gap

Select a thinner packer from the available range. The color-coding system helps in quickly identifying different thicknesses.

Packer does not provide enough support

Use multiple packers stacked together for increased thickness or select a thicker packer if available in the range. Ensure the packer is placed correctly to support the load.

Difficulty removing packer after installation

These packers are designed to remain in place for support. If removal is necessary, carefully pry them out using a suitable tool. They are not designed for temporary, easy-to-remove shimming in all applications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Durable and long-lasting due to moisture-resistant plastic construction.
Versatile for a wide range of construction and DIY tasks.
Easy to identify and select the correct size with color-coding.
Ensures precise leveling and spacing for professional results.
Suitable for use in challenging environmental conditions (e.g., damp areas).

Cons

Assorted pack might include sizes you don't need for a specific project.
Flat profile may not be suitable for all curved applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These packers require no setup; they are ready to use out of the packaging. Simply select the appropriate thickness and size for your application.

Compatibility:

Compatible with a wide range of building materials including wood, metal, uPVC, and masonry. They are designed for use in conjunction with windows, doors, cladding, flooring, and other construction elements that require precise leveling or spacing.

Care:

Clean the packers with a damp cloth as needed. Their plastic (PE) construction makes them easy to wipe down. Store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their integrity. Due to their robust material, they are generally maintenance-free and resistant to most common workshop or site chemicals.
