26mm Flat Glazing Packers
26mm flat glazing packers for trade glazing work where a broader support surface is needed without moving up to 28mm packers. Designed for positioning, packing, and stabilising glazed units, these polypropylene packers are available in multiple thicknesses for accurate on-site adjustment.
Product Overview
26mm Flat Glazing Packers are designed for installers who need a strong, reliable packing shim with a slightly wider contact area than 24mm packers.
Measuring 26mm x 100mm, these packers are suitable for supporting sealed units, correcting uneven gaps, and helping maintain the correct glass position during installation. They are useful across a range of glazing, door, conservatory, and curtain walling applications where controlled spacing is important.
Manufactured from polypropylene, FP26 packers are rigid, moisture-resistant, and made to retain their shape under load. This makes them suitable for professional glazing work where long-term support and consistent thickness are important.
Why installers choose 26mm Flat Glazing Packers:
- Wider than 24mm packers for extra contact and support
- Useful for packing glazed units in windows, doors, and curtain walling
- Helps maintain correct glass positioning during installation
- Strong polypropylene construction for dependable load support
- Helps reduce the risk of uneven pressure points around the unit
These 26mm glazing packers are a practical option when you need a slightly wider flat packer but do not require the full width of a 28mm packer. The additional 8mm option also gives installers extra flexibility for larger gaps or heavier adjustment work.
What Each Thickness is Used For
1mm – Precision Packing & Small Corrections
Used where only a very small amount of adjustment is needed.
Best for:
- Final positioning of glazed units
- Fine gap correction
- Small alignment changes
- Combining with thicker packers for exact spacing
2mm – Light Spacing & Minor Levelling
A useful option for small gaps where a little extra support is required.
Best for:
- Slight unevenness in the glazing channel
- Light packing under sealed units
- Minor levelling adjustments
- Everyday fine-tuning on site
3mm – Regular Glazing Adjustment
A common middle thickness for standard installation work.
Best for:
- General glazed unit positioning
- Routine spacing and levelling
- Supporting units in typical glazing jobs
- Building up packer height when used with other thicknesses
4mm – Practical Medium Support
Used when a more noticeable correction is required without going to thicker packers.
Best for:
- Moderate gap filling
- Levelling units in uneven openings
- Supporting larger glazed sections
- General window and door fitting work
5mm – Stronger Packing for Larger Gaps
Provides more lift and support where the space under the unit is more substantial.
Best for:
- Larger installation gaps
- Heavier sealed units
- Base support during glazing
- Correcting more visible level differences
6mm – Heavy Adjustment & Base Packing
Used when a firm, thicker packer is needed for stronger support.
Best for:
- Significant spacing requirements
- Load-bearing support points
- Heavier glass units
- Uneven or deeper glazing channels
8mm – Extra Lift for Larger Spacing Requirements
The thickest option in this range, useful where a larger adjustment is needed.
Best for:
- Bigger gaps under glazed units
- Heavy-duty packing work
- Raising units to the correct position
- Applications where 6mm is not enough
