"Using steel shims is cost prohibitive; it requires additional time, labor and resources. The Grove Shims can be mortared right into the joints, saving time and money. These shims will never deteriorate. Years ago, wood shims were the only shim available. They had to be soaked, allowed to expand, place the shim, mortar the joints, wait for the mortar to set and wait for the wood to dry and contract, then remove the wood so it wouldn't rot, and finally patch the hole. Using the plastic shims eliminates this tedious process and doesn't jeopardize the integrity of the mortar. It's also an incredible savings in labor," explains Dave Braune, President of Grove Products.
Grove Products Inc. has an expanded line of low-cost labor saving U-shaped plastic shims, designed for use in a wide variety of alignment and leveling applications at commercial, industrial and residential sites.
These labor saving shims prove ideal for alignment and leveling tasks involving installation of windows, doors, curtain walls, tilt walls, pre cast walls, and columns, machinery, furniture, office equipment, electronic systems and more.
