3/16″ Horseshoe Shims CD Products 200 Orange Spacer for Tile Alignment

Description

Product Overview

CD Products presents a robust set of 3/16 inch horseshoe shims designed for demanding tile and stone installation projects. Each shim measures 3/16″ in thickness, with a 1-1/2″ by 2″ footprint, providing a stable platform for precise spacing. The shims are fabricated from high‑grade, non‑compressible polymer that retains its shape under the weight of heavy tiles and stone slabs. Packaged in a compact 11 x 6 x 5 inch box, the 200 orange spacers are lightweight at 2.47 pounds, making them easy to transport and handle on job sites. The bright orange color enhances visibility, reducing the chance of misplaced pieces during installation. These shims are not discontinued and have earned a 4.7‑star rating from six verified customers, reflecting their reliability and performance in real‑world applications.

Usage

These horseshoe shims excel in a variety of environments where exact spacing is critical. They are ideal for aligning marble, granite, porcelain, stone, and large‑format tile across residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Installers can use them to set the correct joint width for both floor and wall applications, ensuring a uniform appearance and preventing lippage. The U‑shaped design allows the installer to lift both corners of a tile simultaneously, facilitating even distribution of adhesive and reducing the risk of uneven gaps. Because the polymer material does not compress, the shims maintain consistent spacing even under the load of heavy stone slabs, making them suitable for high‑traffic areas, countertops, and exterior facades. Their bright orange hue also aids in quick visual checks during the installation process, helping to maintain workflow efficiency.
