RodKat Shim Strips – Full-Coverage Foam Shims for Flattening, Plumbing & Squaring Walls

RodKat Shim Strips are the professional tile installer's go-to solution for correcting uneven walls quickly and accurately. Designed for precision and efficiency, these high-density foam shims provide full coverage across studs to deliver plumb, flat, and square surfaces. Whether you're prepping walls for tile, drywall, or paneling, RodKat’s color-coded shim sizes and included depth gauge take the guesswork out of wall correction—ideal for both renovations and new builds.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Multiple Shim Thicknesses for Versatility
    Includes four color-coded sizes: 1/16″ (White), 1/8″ (Red), 1/4″ (Green), and 3/8″ (Purple), letting you adjust with precision based on wall deviation.

  • Full Stud Coverage with High-Density Foam
    Unlike traditional shims, RodKat provides continuous coverage from top to bottom—minimizing gaps and ensuring reliable support for wall materials.

  • Built-In Depth Gauge for Fast Measurements
    Use the included depth gauge with your own ruler and laser level (not included) to determine the perfect shim thickness instantly—no complicated math or guesswork.

  • Flexible Installation Methods
    Attach shims with a cordless staple gun or construction adhesive—choose what works best for your workflow and material type.

  • Efficient for Remodels & New Builds
    Whether you're correcting framing inconsistencies in a historic home or prepping studs in new construction, RodKat saves time and improves wall integrity.

More Details

RodKat Shim Strips simplify one of the most tedious tasks in wall prep—getting your surfaces flat, plumb, and square. Each high-density foam shim runs a full 47 1/2″ tall, giving full stud coverage to eliminate twisting, bowing, or gaps. The foam compresses slightly under pressure for a tight fit, making it easier to install drywall, tile backer board, or paneling flush to the wall.

Every box includes 142 individual shims across four thicknesses, giving you over 560 linear feet of leveling material. Whether you're a tile contractor working with large-format tiles or a general remodeler installing cabinetry or waterproof panels, RodKat Shim Strips give you consistent, professional results—without the headaches of using wood shims or building out studs manually.
