Flat Packers

What Are Flat Packers?

Flat packers, also known as packer shims or spacers, are thin, flat pieces used to adjust the position of window and door frames during installation. Their primary function is to provide accurate spacing and alignment, compensating for any discrepancies in the installation surface or frame dimensions. 

By filling gaps and ensuring a snug fit, flat packers contribute to the structural integrity and aesthetic finish of window and door assemblies.

Where Are Flat Packers Used? 

• Window and Door Installation: Ensures accurate alignment of frames for proper function and a professional finish.
• Frame Adjustments: Compensates for wall irregularities to achieve level and plumb installations.

Flat Packers - Precision Positioning

The design of flat packers enables precise positioning of window and door frames. By inserting the packers between the frame and the wall or structural support, installers can achieve exact alignment and levelling. 

This precision is essential for ensuring the proper operation of windows and doors, including smooth opening and closing, as well as effective sealing against weather elements.

Flat Packers' Colour-Coded Thickness

One of the standout features of flat packers is their colour-coded design, which indicates their thickness. 

This system allows for quick and easy identification of the correct packer for any given situation, streamlining the installation process and reducing the likelihood of errors. 

The colour-coding system is standardised, making it easy for professionals to select the right packer at a glance.
