Large Window Installation with Grove Horseshoe and U-Shims

Plastic horseshoe shims and plastic U-shaped shims are ideal for large window installations for many different reasons:

1. Both types of plastic shims can be used both horizontally and vertically.
2. Their shape allows for these plastic shims to easily fit around bolts and anchors.
3. The chemical compound of plastic makes it so they withstand ten tons of compressed force.

In comparison to horseshoe shims’ square outer edges, plastic U-shaped shims’ rounded outer edges allow greater flexibility in aligning windows and curtain walls as it has no protruding corners.

In this video, you will see how the installation of large windows is made easy when professionals can choose the right color-coded plastic shim size quickly for the perfect fit.
