Contractor Shims 12 inch from Nelson Wood Shims are Beddar Wood contractor shims designed for jobs where wood shims need to perform consistently. These 12-inch shims are longer than many short wedges, giving more contact area to spread load and support more of the workpiece. The shims are made from Beddar Wood, which surpasses pine or cedar alternatives in performance, so they hold up better when used in demanding shop or site conditions. Each shim is rot resistant, which supports use in locations where moisture exposure would quickly damage less resistant wood. The shims are simple to cut, so installers can trim length or adjust taper quickly to tune fit. They are resistant to splitting from nails and screws, allowing fastening through the shim without it breaking apart under the fastener. The shims break off cleanly at score points, saving time during fitting and finish trim.
These 12-inch Beddar Wood contractor shims are simple to cut, so installers can refine length and thickness transitions during fitting without wrestling tougher stock. Because the shims are resistant to splitting from nails and screws, they tolerate direct fastening through the shim while preserving its structural role under load. The clean break characteristic allows the protruding portion to be snapped away after adjustment, so the remaining section stays buried and unobtrusive behind casings or other finish materials. Rot-resistant construction supports use in areas where moisture exposure would degrade less resistant woods, helping the shim continue to support aligned components. The combination of easy cutting, fastener resistance, and clean breaking directly supports an efficient workflow when dialing in level, plumb, or consistent reveals.
These 12-inch Beddar Wood contractor shims from Nelson Wood Shims are classified as shims in the shop and safety supplies category, fitting into workflows where wood shims are needed for positioning or support. The 12-inch length offers generous bearing surface, helping distribute load where a broader footprint is useful, such as under longer runs or wider framing contact points. Because the shims surpass pine or cedar alternatives in performance, they are suited to scenarios where higher resistance to crushing or degradation is valuable during tightening and long-term support. Rot resistance adds relevance where incidental moisture may reach the shim location during normal building use, supporting alignment stability. Their role as wood shims in a contractor-focused configuration aligns with repeated use in standard woodworking and related trade settings.
The simple-to-cut nature of these Beddar Wood contractor shims supports repeatable results by letting installers fine-tune each shim to the exact gap without fighting splintering or excessive hardness. Resistance to splitting from nails and screws helps maintain consistent support when fasteners are driven, preventing partial failure that could introduce movement or uneven bearing. Clean break behavior means surplus material can be snapped away at the desired point, leaving a controlled, tidy edge that keeps reveals and trim lines consistent from job to job. Rot-resistant construction further supports long-term repeatability, since the shim is less prone to degrading in service, which helps maintain the original alignment set during installation. The 12-inch length provides repeatable geometry for positioning, so installers work with a familiar form factor on every project.
These Beddar Wood contractor shims surpass pine or cedar alternatives in performance, so they better withstand demanding use and tightening without degrading as quickly.
The 12-inch length gives more contact area, helping distribute load over a wider surface and supporting more stable positioning during alignment tasks.
These contractor shims are resistant to splitting from nails and screws, so fasteners can be driven through while the shim continues to support the load.
Rot-resistant construction helps the shims maintain their shape and support where incidental moisture is present, preserving alignment over time.
The shims break off cleanly, so any excess can be snapped away, leaving a neat edge that reduces interference with trim and finished surfaces.
The product is sold by wrapped pack of 42 shims, which provides a consistent quantity for planning material usage across multiple projects.
