Meet a dependable partner for every leveling task: the Nelson 1.375 in. W X 8 in. L Wood Contractor Grade Shims 12 pk. Built for professional jobsites, these wood shims deliver steady support across cabinets, doors, flooring, and fine trim work. With a generous 8-inch length and a 1.375-inch width, they provide stable, forgiving adjustment surfaces that help you get precise results without damaging delicate finishes.

Key advantages that set these apart

• Contractor-grade reliability — designed to withstand daily use on job sites, so you can count on consistent results from project to project.
• Solid wood construction — soft enough to avoid surface marring while staying rigid enough to hold level adjustments securely.
• Optimal proportions — 8 inches long with a 1.375-inch width distribute weight evenly for stable support under cabinets, countertops, and baseboards.
• Value-packed — 12 shims per pack means fewer interruptions for mid-project adjustments and handy backups for multi-point leveling.

Ideal use cases

• Cabinet installation and countertop leveling — nudge plumb and level with confidence, then lock in your fit without scratching surfaces.
• Flooring preparation — level subfloor gaps before laying tile or hardwood to reduce drafts, squeaks, and uneven seams.
• Door and window framing — achieve clean gaps and smooth operation by dialing in precise shims at key points.
• Trim, molding, and baseboard alignment — maintain a consistent line across walls for a polished finish.
• Furniture setup — stabilize desks, tables, or appliances on uneven floors for safer, steadier placement.

How to use

Slide a shim into the area needing lift or tilt, then check the surface with a level. Add additional shims as needed for incremental adjustments until the plane is true. If a perfect fit is required, trim the shim edge with a sharp utility knife and sand lightly for a snug contact. Keep the remaining shims in the same pack for easy access on future projects.

Why choose wood shims for your project

Wood shims strike a balance between strength and adaptability. They compress slightly to fill minor irregularities without buckling, and they are gentle on finished surfaces. The elongated 8-inch length provides broad support across larger gaps, helping you achieve level lines with fewer pieces.
