Concrete Decking Block Shims
Ensure that your concrete decking block subframe is in harmony with your joists or battens to create the perfect decking area. Concrete post spacers give a spot on fit and allow your joists to fit into the foot with room for expansion.
More About our Concrete Decking Block Shims
Want to ensure that your joists are well-fitted when using concrete decking blocks in your decking installation? Using these decking block shims is the way to go. They help to properly adjust the posts when fitting into concrete feet to create a consistent expansion gap.
Specifications:
- Length: 78mm
- Width: 30mm
- Depth: 8mm
- Number Per Pack: 48
Creating an appropriate gap ensures your joists have room to naturally expand and contract with changes in temperature and moisture. This helps to prevent common issues such as squeaking, warping, or buckling over time.
Each shim is designed to interlock, allowing you to build up to your desired thickness. This ranges from 2mm to 16mm so that you can customise the gap to the project requirements.
Quick Reminder: Make sure to remove all shims before laying any decking boards on top of the system.
