1/16″ Horseshoe Shims by CD Products – 500 pcs Blue Tile Spacer

Description

Product Overview

CD Products presents a high‑quality set of 1/16 inch horseshoe shims designed specifically for demanding tile and stone applications. Each shim is fabricated from a resilient polymer that resists compression, ensuring that the spacing remains consistent throughout the installation process. The shims are coated in a vibrant blue color, making them easy to locate on a busy job site, and they are packaged in a sturdy 500‑piece jar that protects the components from damage and moisture. Dimensions of each shim measure 1/16″ thick, 1‑1/2″ wide, and 2″ long, providing a versatile size that works well with a variety of tile thicknesses and substrate conditions. The U‑shaped profile allows installers to lift both corners of a tile simultaneously, promoting uniform joint alignment and reducing the risk of uneven gaps. These shims are engineered for repeatable use, maintaining their shape and performance even after multiple cycles of loading and unloading.

Usage

These shims excel in a range of environments, from residential bathroom remodels to large commercial flooring projects. They are ideal for spacing and aligning marble, granite, porcelain, stone, and large‑format tiles where precise joint control is critical. Installers can employ the shims when laying tile over concrete, plywood, or existing flooring, as the non‑compressible material prevents sagging under the weight of heavy tiles. The blue color provides high visibility on both light and dark work surfaces, reducing the chance of misplaced pieces. Because the shims are reusable, they contribute to a more sustainable workflow, allowing contractors to reduce waste and lower material costs over the life of a project. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a DIY enthusiast, the shims simplify the process of achieving level, even surfaces without the need for disposable spacers.
