Description
Product Overview
Broadfix presents a versatile flat plastic shim designed for demanding industrial and scientific applications. The shim measures precisely 1.13 inches in width and 4 inches in length, offering a compact footprint that fits into tight gaps while delivering reliable support. Constructed from high‑density polymer, each shim exhibits exceptional compressive strength, ensuring that it will not deform, warp, or swell under load, even in challenging indoor or outdoor environments. The 60‑piece pack (model FS60A‑US) provides ample inventory for repeat projects, maintenance schedules, and large‑scale installations. With a lightweight profile of just 11.2 ounces per package, the shims are easy to handle, sort, and apply without the need for additional tools or equipment. The product dimensions of 2.75 × 8 × 4 inches refer to the packaging, allowing for efficient storage on shelves or in bins. Broadfix’s reputation for quality control is reflected in a 4.7‑star rating from 38 verified customers, underscoring the reliability and performance of these shims across a range of use cases.
Usage
These flat plastic shims excel in glazing applications where precise spacing is critical for glass panels, window frames, and curtain walls. Their non‑absorbing nature makes them ideal for wall covering projects, including tile, stone, and panel installations, where consistent gap maintenance prevents cracking and uneven surfaces. Because the polymer material is resistant to moisture, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations, the shims can be employed outdoors for façade adjustments, façade anchoring, and exterior cladding work without fear of degradation. Installers, contractors, and maintenance crews appreciate the ease of stacking the shims, allowing for rapid height adjustments and fine‑tuning of tolerances. The shims are also suitable for mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and any scenario that demands a stable, non‑metallic spacer that will not corrode or conduct electricity.
