Shim Space

The narrow clearance space between the window frame and the window's rough opening. To improve energy efficiency, the shim space should be sealed and filled with fiberglass or low-expanding foam insulation. It's difficult to tell if the shim space has been sealed and insulated because it's covered by interior and exterior casing.
