Description

Shims must always be fixed in place. Shims that are not fastened may eventually drop out of the materials, leaving the materials unsupported.

Next, consider the pressure the shim will be under. If you’re using it for things like stone countertops, bathtubs, or other heavy objects, the fibers of a wooden shim may break down over time. In this case, a plastic or metal shim would be the better choice.

Need Help With Your Project?

If using wood shims, lightly score the wood with your utility knife as close as possible to the workpiece. Bend the shim at the scored line to snap it off. Alternatively, you can cut off the shim with a multi-tool. Since they are used in many different ways, there are many types of shims. The most common include the following: Once the door or window is plumb and level, drive a nail or screw from the casing, directly through the shims and into the framing to secure it. Once the window or door is firmly seated and nailed, use a utility knife to score the excess shim length and break it off. Advantages of Using Shims Wood is the most common material for a shim. They are often cut from cedar or pine and well-suited for almost any interior adjustment.
