Shims

Gyford® Shims are precision spacers used to fine‑tune alignment, depth, and leveling in standoff and edge‑grip signage systems. Designed for exact compatibility with Gyford mounting hardware, these shims help compensate for uneven surfaces while protecting panels from over‑compression. By allowing precise adjustments during installation, Gyford shims ensure a clean, professional fit and consistent reveal across single‑ or multi‑panel signage systems.

What are shims used for in signage installations?

Shims are used to fine‑tune alignment, spacing, and leveling in signage installations. In standoff and edge‑grip systems, they help compensate for uneven walls, ensure consistent panel spacing, and create a clean, professional finish.

Why are shims important for standoff systems?

Shims help prevent misalignment and over‑compression in standoff systems by allowing precise depth and spacing adjustments. This ensures panels sit evenly and reduces stress on acrylic, glass, or metal signage materials.
