Easy Air Wedge

The multi-purpose Easy Air Wedge is an inflatable wedge that has been designed to make the ‘fiddly job of fixing and levelling’ easy. It holds windows, doors, appliances and equipment in place for easier installation and fixing.

The supplier says that unlike other air wedges, the built-in, patented CorePlate Technology ensures that the wedge remains rigid and does not buckle when it is pushed into small gaps.
