Product Information

Full details

The PBSL Group 28mm Flat Packers are essential tools for contractors, joiners, and DIY enthusiasts who require precision leveling, shimming, and spacing in construction or renovation projects. These durable packers provide a reliable solution for squaring up frames and leveling uneven surfaces, though users should ensure they select the correct thickness for their specific load-bearing requirements to avoid structural shifting.

FAQs

Can these packers be cut to size?

Yes, but they are made from rigid, durable material, so a sharp saw or heavy-duty cutting tool is required.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the material is moisture-resistant and will not rot or decay, making it ideal for external door or window frames.

Can I stack them to achieve a height of 56mm?

Yes, you can stack two 28mm packers to reach 56mm, provided the load is evenly distributed across the stack.

Are these packers load-bearing?

They are designed to support structural loads when installed correctly under frames or joists, but always ensure the load is balanced.

What is the material composition?

They are made from a high-density, impact-resistant plastic polymer designed for longevity in construction environments.

Troubleshooting

Packers slip out of place during installation

Use a small amount of construction adhesive or double-sided tape to secure the packer to the substrate before mounting the frame.

Surface remains uneven after installation

Re-check the load distribution across all packers; you may need to add or remove a packer from one corner to balance the weight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Uniform 28mm thickness ensures consistent results
  • Large 100-pack volume is cost-effective for large projects
  • Highly durable and compression resistant
  • Easy to stack for custom height requirements
  • Resistant to environmental degradation like moisture or decay

Cons

  • Specific 28mm size may be too thick for minor gaps
  • Hard plastic can be difficult to trim if manual adjustments are needed
  • Requires careful storage to prevent loss of small units on site

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use these packers, first identify the gap size requiring adjustment. For gaps wider than 28mm, stack the packers vertically to achieve the desired height. Ensure the surface is clear of debris before placement to guarantee a level base. These packers are compatible with most wood, metal, and PVC-u profiles. For care, store the remaining units in the provided box to prevent environmental damage or accidental loss. If they become dirty during use, they can be cleaned with a stiff brush or a damp cloth without affecting their structural integrity.
