Packing Shim, Light to Heavy Duty, Plastic, Broadfix

Product Details

What size are the Packing Shims LD 55x43x1.0mm Yellow?

These are light duty shims sized 55 x 43 mm with a 1.0 mm thickness. The yellow colour helps you quickly identify the shim type and thickness on site.

How should I use these shims for window and door frame fixing?

They are commonly used to pack and level frames before fastening. Place the shim where the frame needs support, adjust to achieve a straight and even alignment, then secure the frame through the planned fixing points.

Are LD 55 x 43 shims suitable for cladding supports and dry lining?

Yes. They can be used as a packing material to help create a stable, level support for cladding and to assist with alignment on dry lining applications.

How does the 1 mm thickness affect levelling and alignment?

A 1 mm shim provides a small, precise correction when you need to fine tune spacing. Using the right thickness helps reduce over packing and supports a neat finish once the final fixings are in place.

How many shims come in the pack?

You get 250 shims per pack. This makes them convenient for jobs that need multiple pack points or for keeping a steady supply for maintenance and repeat installations.

Do these shims work as a general purpose packer for light duty tasks?

They are designed for light duty packing where small adjustments are needed. If your installation requires heavier support or larger corrections, consider whether a different thickness or duty rating is more appropriate.

Why is the shim colour helpful on site?

The yellow colour is used to make it easy to identify the shim type quickly. This can help when you have multiple thicknesses or types in use during the same project, supporting faster selection and fewer mistakes.
