Product Overview
These Grey U Packers are designed for the precise positioning of window and door frames. They easily slide around existing fixings without the need to remove screws, ensuring accurate datum and line during set-out. Each packer is color-coded for quick on-site identification, providing a stable bearing under typical frame loads. The internal comb design ensures a secure grip to resist movement during tightening and final fixing.
The non-absorbent, non-staining material guarantees a clean, professional installation against both frames and substrates. U-shaped shims reduce stack heights and speed up set-out on variable bases. Suitable for extra-large gaps or specialist fittings where significant correction or stand-off is needed.
