FAQs
What are Broadfix Snap Wedges used for?
They are used for easy leveling and packing in various applications, such as fitting bathroom suites, kitchen cabinetry, and other construction elements.
What does 'Double Snap Wedge' mean?
It means the wedge can snap securely in both directions, making shimming jobs easier and providing more stable fitting.
What is the tapered thickness range?
The tapered thickness ranges from 9mm down to 1mm, allowing for precise adjustments.
What colors are included in the pack?
The pack includes brown, green, and white snap wedges.
Can these wedges be reused?
While they can sometimes be removed and reused, they are primarily designed for effective single-use installation to ensure a secure fit. Reuse may compromise their snapping ability.
Are these suitable for heavy structural loads?
These wedges are intended for leveling and packing during fitting of fixtures and cabinetry, not for primary structural load-bearing. For heavy loads, professional structural solutions should be consulted.
Troubleshooting
Wedge does not snap securely.
Ensure the wedge is inserted into a gap with sufficient material to grip. Check if the gap is too wide or too narrow for the wedge size. Try inserting from the opposite direction.
Difficulty achieving precise leveling.
Use multiple wedges in conjunction for finer adjustments. Ensure you are using the tapered edge effectively for micro-adjustments. Ensure the surface you are leveling against is stable.
Wedges break during insertion.
Do not force the wedge. Ensure you are using the correct size for the gap. If significant force is required, the gap may be too small or the wrong type of shim is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
