P&S PLASTICS APPLICATIONS
PRECAST / TILT UP
PreCast: Use shims to align precast panels vertically
and horizontally and maintain joint spacings before
final attachment.
Tilt Up: Shims are used to level and align panels in
preparation for final attachment. P&S Plastic Flat Plate
Shims are set on top of a foundation wall to cushion the
edge of precast panels as they are tilted up to the
vertical position and to level and support panels prior
to grouting. Shims designed to fit around bolts are also
used in aligning other connections.
GLASS, WINDOWS & DOORS
Shim to align frames in three dimensions for proper
spacing and optical flatness. Flat Plate Shims may be
used temporarily to cushion edges of glass on hard
surfaces and protect from damage.
Doors and Frames: Align frames while
fastening in place.Entrance, Storefront, and Curtain
Wall Systems: Align members or panels, vertically and
horizontally; separating glass panels, permanently or
temporarily.Blast-Resistant
Doors and Windows: Extra resilience may
be required for permanent shims.
Skylights and Sloped Glazing Systems:
Alignment.Louver Systems: Alignment.
MASONRY
Stone Masonry: Shims can be used to
establish both temporary and permanent joint spacing.
Stone Panel Cladding: Shim panels are used to
align both vertically and horizontally and are also used
to relieve stress while mortar sets.
Terra Cotta: Brittle materials can be
temporarily cushioned with shims to prevent damage
before being fixed or sealed into place.
RESTORATION
Restoration projects, both commercial and residential,
often require shims to restore level and structural
soundness to a variety of different aspects of the
building. Grove Shims are particularly useful for
re-leveling floors, foundations, and concrete bearing
surfaces.
Custom shims are often the answer to restoration
problems in older buildings where construction methods
may be non-standard, and the sizes of materials used are
now obsolete. Please contact us with your problems for
affordable custom solutions
INDUSTRIAL
For temporary or permanent installation of heavy
equipment and machinery, shims are used for leveling,
and for aligning multiple units to each other or to
other systems
