Product Information

Full details

The Alwaysfirst 4 Fixings flat packers are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require precision in window, door, and flooring installations. These durable, weather-resistant shims provide a reliable solution for leveling and spacing, featuring a color-coded system that makes size selection instantaneous. While these versatile tools are excellent for general building and joinery, users should note that they are designed specifically for flat-surface alignment and may require additional adhesive or mechanical fixings for permanent structural stability in high-vibration environments.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use these for outdoor projects?

Yes, they are made from waterproof, weatherproof plastic specifically designed to withstand outdoor conditions.

How do I know which color corresponds to which size?

The pack includes a reference guide, and the sizes are color-coded consistently across the range from 1mm to 6mm.

Are these suitable for heavy-duty structural use?

These are intended for leveling and glazing. For heavy structural load-bearing requirements, verify that the application complies with local building codes.

Can I cut these packers to fit smaller gaps?

Yes, the plastic material can be trimmed with standard snips or a sharp utility knife if you need a specific shape.

Do I need to glue them in place?

In most applications, the weight of the frame or board provides sufficient pressure to hold them in place, but glue can be used for extra security.

Troubleshooting

Packers shifting during installation

Ensure the surface is free of dust or debris. If movement continues, use a small dab of construction adhesive to hold the stack in place.

Difficulty determining the correct thickness

Use a digital or manual vernier caliper to verify the gap before selecting the color-coded packer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple color-coding eliminates measuring mistakes
  • Serrated surface provides excellent friction for stable stacking
  • Completely waterproof and immune to rot or decay
  • Compact and lightweight for easy site transport
  • Includes a comprehensive range of thicknesses (1mm-6mm)

Cons

  • Plastic material may compress under extreme concentrated point loads
  • Individual size quantities may vary based on project requirements
  • Not suitable for load-bearing structural columns without specific testing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the Alwaysfirst 4 Fixings packers effectively, identify the required gap size and select the appropriate color-coded shim. If a greater height is needed, combine two or more packers; the serrated design will grip against the surface and each other.

Compatibility: These are compatible with most standard glazing beads, door frame materials, and sub-flooring substrates.

Care Instructions:

  • Store in a dry container to keep them organized by size.
  • Although they are waterproof, avoid exposing them to harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the plastic structure.
  • Wipe down surfaces before placement to ensure no grit prevents the packers from sitting flush.
