30mm Flat Glazing Packers
30mm flat glazing packers for installations where a wider bearing area is preferred under sealed units or frame sections. These polypropylene packers help spread support across the glazing channel, making them useful for larger units, door sets, conservatories, and curtain walling work.
Product Overview
30mm Flat Glazing Packers are wide plastic packing shims used to support, level, and position glazed units during installation.
At 30mm wide and 100mm long, these packers provide a broader contact area than common 20mm, 24mm, and 28mm packers. This makes them useful where installers want extra bearing width beneath a sealed unit or where the glazing channel allows for a wider support packer.
Made from polypropylene, FP30 packers offer rigid, non-compressible support and are suitable for trade glazing applications where the unit needs to remain stable, square, and correctly aligned.
Why installers choose 30mm Flat Glazing Packers:
- Wider 30mm face for greater contact under glazed units
- Helps spread support across the base of the unit
- Useful for larger windows, door units, conservatories, and curtain walling
- Suitable for levelling, spacing, and controlled height adjustment
- Polypropylene construction helps resist moisture, rot, and compression
These 30mm packers are a good option when standard-width packers do not provide the preferred contact area, especially on installations where stable base support and accurate positioning are important.
What Each Thickness is Used For
1mm – Fine Tuning & Final Positioning
Used when the unit is almost correctly positioned and only a small adjustment is needed.
Best for:
- Final levelling work
- Small gap corrections
- Fine height adjustment
- Combining with thicker packers for exact spacing
2mm – Light Packing & Minor Correction
Useful for small adjustments where a little more lift is needed.
Best for:
- Minor unevenness in the glazing channel
- Light unit support
- Small alignment corrections
- Adding controlled spacing under the unit
3mm – General Installation Packing
A practical everyday thickness for routine glazing jobs.
Best for:
- Standard sealed unit support
- General window and door installations
- Everyday spacing work
- Building up packer height with other thicknesses
4mm – Medium Gap Support
Used where the opening or channel requires a more noticeable adjustment.
Best for:
- Moderate levelling corrections
- Supporting larger glazed units
- Filling medium gaps
- Aligning frames or units during installation
5mm – Extra Lift & Stronger Support
Provides additional height and support for larger gaps or heavier units.
Best for:
- Heavier sealed units
- Larger door or window sections
- Base packing where extra lift is required
- More significant installation adjustments
6mm – Maximum Thickness in the Range
Used where a firm, thicker packer is needed for bigger gaps or heavier support points.
Best for:
- Larger spacing requirements
- Heavy-duty support areas
- Uneven glazing channels
- Raising units to the correct installed position
