In the building trade accuracy is hugely important. You wouldn’t dream of measuring by eye or affirming that a surface is level with just the power of my eye but tape measures and spirit levels while providing a rule by which to measure are less than precise. Using laser levels will provide an unparalleled degree of accuracy.
Spirit levels are really only suitable for checking small areas at a time but are ironically much larger than laser levels which can assist in aligning structures vertically, horizontally and even at a desired angle. You won’t have to hold the instrument in place, as with a spirit level. The laser level projects lines at a distance. A visible line can be seen up to 15 metres away with products like the Leica LINO L2. Detectors with a range of 30 metres can be added to your kit to extend the distance capabilities of laser levels.
Laser levels, as mentioned, are an important innovation in improving general accuracy in the building trade. You don’t have to manually check that the device is level- it is self correctly between 4 and 0.5 degrees. If the level is out by any greater degree lines will not be projected so you’ll know that you need to adjust the positioning. With laser levels work can be carried out more quickly and confidently, without checking and rechecking as you do with spirit levels.
Laser building tools aren’t limited to laser levels; you can also measure with lasers. The Leica DISTO D2 is the smallest laser measuring tool in the world. It has 60 metre range and is accurate to the within 1.5 millimetres. New models have even finer levels of measurement. You can easily calculate area or volume at the touch of a button. Tape measures and trundle wheels can’t compare!
High tech laser levels and digital measuring devices are fast and accurate builds as well as leaving hands free to do other work. Join the next generation builders.
