Rectangular Shims

Image of Product. Front orientation. Shims. Rectangle, Sold Individually.

Sized to fill wide gaps, use these shims straight out of the box or cut to your exact needs with a utility knife to align cabinets, doors, and windows. Each shim is color coded by thickness to quickly spot and grab the right size, saving time and reducing sizing errors. All are made of plastic to resist moisture and prevent rot. Their textured surface keeps them from sliding apart when stacked.
