FAQs

Are these wedges suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, Broadfix Precision Wedges are waterproof and can be used outdoors. However, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may affect their longevity.

How do I choose the correct size of wedge?

Consider the gap you need to fill and the required level of adjustment. The color-coding system helps you identify the size quickly. Always start with a smaller wedge and add more as needed.

Can I reuse the wedges?

Yes, the wedges can be reused. Clean them if necessary, and store them properly for future use. Inspect them for any signs of wear or damage before reusing.

What is the compressive load capacity of these wedges?

The wedges can withstand high compressive loads compared to timber packers, though the exact load capacity depends on the size and the application. Please ensure the wedges are suitable for your specific project needs.

What materials are the wedges made from?

Broadfix Precision Wedges are made from plastic with a high percentage of recycled material.

How do I cut the wedges?

The wedges can be cut with a utility knife or a saw, if required. However, they are designed to be easily adjustable by placing and stacking multiple wedges.

What is the benefit of the serrated design?

The serrated design allows the wedges to interlock, preventing them from slipping and providing a secure and stable shimming solution.

How many wedges are in a bag?

This particular product comes in a bag of 100 wedges.

Troubleshooting

Wedges are slipping or not staying in place.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use additional wedges to interlock and create a more secure base. Consider using screws or fasteners to secure the wedges if needed.

Difficulty in achieving precise leveling.

Use a level to check the alignment as you adjust the wedges. Combine different sizes of wedges to achieve the required thickness. Make small, incremental adjustments.

Wedges are cracking or breaking under load.

Check the load capacity of the wedges to ensure it meets the requirements of your project. If the load is too high, use more wedges to distribute the weight. Consider using a different, more heavy-duty shimming solution if necessary.
