Looking for Durable Horseshoe Shims That Won't Compress Under Load?

Tapered & Slotted Horseshoe Shims provide reliable support and precise alignment for countertop installations, glazing applications, cabinetry, and general construction. Manufactured from durable, high-strength materials, these professional-grade shims are designed to withstand up to 10 tons of compressive force while maintaining their shape for years of dependable service.

Available in both slotted (U-shaped) and tapered styles, these shims allow installers to quickly level natural stone, granite, quartz, cabinets, windows, and curtain wall systems. The slotted design easily fits around bolts and anchors, while the rounded profile eliminates protruding corners for easier positioning and alignment.
