Horseshoe Shims

Horseshoe Shims are crafted to simplify the challenge of tile installation, offering color-coded convenience and reuse for both professional and DIY tilers. Specifically designed for vertical settings, they ensure accurate spacing and alignment of tiles, including marble, granite, porcelain, stone, and large-format tiles. Their sturdy build prevents compression, which is especially beneficial for leveling heavy wall tiles.

The “U” shape of these shims allows installers to lift both corners of the tile uniformly, facilitating perfect spacing and alignment for clean, professional joints. They are easy to remove once the tile is set, without compromising the setup, and are readily reusable. Their high-impact plastic construction ensures they withstand repeated use, and they are designed for both vertical and horizontal applications.

Moreover, these shims are approved by architects for installations beyond tiles, including windows, doors, curtain walls, and insulating glass units. This multipurpose capability makes them ideal for reducing labor and material costs across various projects. Packaged innovatively, they are easy to transport to job sites or store in workshops.
