Sub-Floor Shims

A large Canadian lumber and paper company had invested in a new sub-floor product to sell through home improvement outlets. This very successful product floats on basement floors with a plastic membrane layer between the wood and the concrete. The shims are used to support the floor panels where the concrete is low and mate with the membrane for easy installation.

Shepherd was very involved in this product in the early stages and worked with an industrial designer to develop a shim made from high molecular weight polyethylene. We package them in attractive sales cartons and shipping cases right at the end of the thermoforming line ready for distribution across North America.
