Shim Stock
Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application. Sheets come flat packed.
For accurate leveling, choose materials such as steel or stainless steel, which are hard enough to resist scratching and deforming. Softer shims, like copper or aluminum, can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment. Metal shims include a material certificate with traceable lot number and test report.
PTFE plastic shim stock is slippery, so it can be used to reduce friction between parts. It also has excellent chemical resistance.

Adhesive-Back Film Floor Protectors
Cover floors during painting and remodeling work. Adhesive on the back of this tear-resistant film keeps it in place, even in high traffic areas. Leave it for up to 30 days without harming floors.
Protectors for floors are for linoleum and ceramic tile. They should not be used on hardwood floors.
Protectors for carpets should not be used on wool and other natural fiber carpets.
Optional applicators (sold separately) reduce installation time and work with 200-ft. and 500-ft. long protectors only.
