1 4 inch Horseshoe Shims CD Products – 150 Black for Tile Alignment

Description

Product Overview

CD Products presents a robust collection of 1/4 inch horseshoe shims designed specifically for demanding tile and stone installation projects. Each shim is fabricated from high‑grade steel that has been precision‑cut and heat‑treated to achieve a flat, uniform profile that resists warping and deformation over time. The shims are finished with a durable black coating that not only provides a professional appearance but also adds corrosion resistance, extending the life of the product even in humid or outdoor environments. The package includes 150 individual shims, each measuring 1/4 inch in thickness, 1/2 inch in width, and 2 inches in length, offering a versatile size that fits a wide range of tile thicknesses and joint spacing requirements. The design incorporates a “U” shape that allows installers to lift both corners of a tile simultaneously, ensuring even distribution of pressure and a consistent gap across the entire surface. All shims are proudly manufactured in the United States, adhering to strict quality control standards that guarantee dimensional accuracy and repeatable performance on every job site.

Usage

These 1/4 inch horseshoe shims excel in a variety of installation scenarios, from residential bathroom remodels to large commercial flooring projects. They are ideal for spacing and aligning marble, granite, porcelain, stone, and large‑format tile, providing a reliable solution for both floor and wall applications. When laying heavy wall tile, the shims maintain their shape under load, preventing the common issue of tile sagging or uneven joints. The reusable nature of the shims means they can be removed after the adhesive has set, allowing for a clean, unobstructed surface without the need for additional filler material. Installers can confidently use the shims in wet environments, as the black coating protects against rust, and the steel core ensures the shim will not compress or crush, even when supporting heavy slabs. Whether you are a seasoned contractor or a DIY homeowner tackling a tile backsplash, these shims simplify the process of achieving a level, professional finish.
