Usage

These 8‑inch wood shims are versatile tools for leveling, aligning, and supporting a multitude of structures and fixtures. Homeowners and contractors alike rely on them to correct uneven floors, stabilize door frames, adjust cabinet doors, and level appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. The thin feathered tips make it simple to slide the shim under existing hardware without disassembly, while the robust wood body provides enough strength to bear significant loads.

Their size and shape also make them ideal for use in stair construction, joist leveling, and as spacers in custom furniture builds. Because the shims are kiln‑dried, they maintain dimensional stability in varying humidity conditions, ensuring long‑term performance in both residential and commercial settings.

FAQ

What is the difference between kiln‑dried and air‑dried wood shims?

Kiln‑dried shims are processed in a controlled environment that removes moisture evenly, preventing future warping, shrinkage, or mold growth. Air‑dried wood can retain variable moisture levels, which may lead to dimensional changes over time.

Can these shims be used outdoors?

Yes, because they are made from natural, kiln‑dried wood without chemical treatments, they can be used in outdoor applications where exposure to weather is moderate. For prolonged exposure, a protective sealant is recommended.

How many shims are included in each pack?

The product is sold in three pack options: a single 1‑Pack, a 2‑Pack, and a bulk 36‑Pack, allowing you to choose the quantity that best fits the scale of your project.

Are the shims compatible with all types of flooring?

These wooden shims are compatible with most flooring types, including hardwood, laminate, tile, and engineered wood. Their thin profile and feathered tip design make them easy to place without damaging the floor surface.
