Shimming a floor over a greater slope, however, will present other visual and physical problems, such as the ceiling height being markedly different from one side of the room to the other. Likewise, windows may look crooked when viewing from the shimmed floor upwards.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">To shim a sloping floor varying lengths of 2&#215;4 strips are attached to the subfloor. The thickness of the 2&#215;4 strips will vary from one side of the room to the other depending upon how much of a slope there is. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For example you may need a 1 inch thick 2&#215;4 strip on one side of the room and gradually thinner strips as you work your way towards the opposite end of the room.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000ASBCK4\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000ASBCK4&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkId=f845b019f9dc20a4fe5f9208b4ec8e19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=B000ASBCK4&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000ASBCK4\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">At the far opposite end of the room a shim should not be required, assuming it represents the final desired floor height.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">To determine how thick of a maximum shim will be required, find the highest floor height in the room, and then using string, nails and a level, run this max height to the opposite end of the room with the sloping floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">With the level string attached to the side walls you should then be able to determine the necessary 2&#215;4 shims required along the length of the sloped floor.
