Glass Balcony Vertical Thin Side Mullion Wedge (1,250 Pieces)

Glass Balcony Thin Vertical Side Shim — (1,250 Pieces)

Thin Vertical Side Shim for Glass Balcony Systems is an essential component inserted between the uprights and the profile in folding glass balcony systems. It fills gaps in slim‑profile frames, ensures perfect seating of the uprights, and eliminates vibration and noise. Manufactured from high‑grade reinforced plastic, it stands up to years of wear and compressive force. Supplied in a bulk pack of 1,250 — delivering uninterrupted stock and excellent unit‑cost savings for manufacturers, installation crews, and trade suppliers.

Product Advantages

• ✅ Slim form — seats perfectly in narrow frames without taking up excess space; the ideal solution where thicker shims will not fit
• ✅ Compression‑resistant material — will not crush, thin, or deform over time; alignment stays true
• ✅ Complete gap closure — uprights remain firmly seated; no rattle or movement under wind or operation
• ✅ Precise alignment — supports smooth opening and closing while reducing friction
• ✅ Tool‑free fit — pushes directly into place; no cutting, adhesive, or secondary work required
• ✅ Flexible yet robust — accommodates thermal expansion and contraction without straining the system or cracking
• ✅ Long service life — colour and shape remain stable against sun, moisture, and temperature swings
• ✅ Bulk pack of 1,250 — lowers piece cost; ideal for serial production and seasonal stock replenishment

Installation & Usage Guidelines

• Clean the profile interior before fitting — dust and debris prevent full seating
• Select shim thickness to match the gap; do not force an oversize shim, and undersize will not hold securely
• Lift the upright slightly, insert the shim, then lower — confirm firm, rattle‑free seating when released
• Do not stack multiple shims at one location; use a single piece of the correct thickness
• Test operation by opening and closing the panel — if binding occurs, recheck alignment
• Carry out periodic checks — confirm no shift or displacement during service
• Match thickness to frame type; thicker shims are available for wide‑profile systems — this version is designed for narrow gaps
• Do not force into place; replace any cracked or damaged shim with a matching new one

Frequently Asked Questions

— Can this replace a thicker shim?
No — designed specifically for narrow gaps; it will not provide sufficient fill or support in wide‑profile frames.

— Suitable for insulated/double‑glazed systems?
This model is intended for single‑glazed slim‑profile builds; dedicated shims are available for double‑glazed applications.

— Self‑adhesive?
No — designed to stay securely seated by friction alone; no glue or tape required.

— Must all shims be replaced at once?
Prioritise any showing wear or movement; replace others as needed during routine checks.

— Colour options?
Supplied in Black and White — select to match your system’s profile finish.
