    10 Types of Laser Levels: Getting the Leveling Job Done Right

    Picture this: you're trying to hang a curtain rod above the window. You 
 
have the curtain rod in one hand and a hammer and a nail in the other. Of course, 
 
you'd probably want that curtain rod hung in a straight line.

    So you then decide to take out your spirit level and realize that you 
 
can't. Your hands are already full—literally.

    Maybe you resort to the traditional method of using a pencil, ruler, and 
 
spirit level to mark a straight line on the wall. And once you’ve mounted your 
 
curtain rod, you can then erase the marking on the wall.

 

    While that makes sense, there's a tool that can make the leveling job a 
 
lot easier: a laser level. It's a tool that projects a level beam toward the 
 
wall, floor, or other surfaces. Simply put, a laser level allows you to level or 
 
plumb hands-free.

    Whether you're a construction professional, framer, or DIY home renovation 
 
enthusiast, a laser level is definitely a godsend for tasks that involve leveling. 
 
It's a must-have in your tool chest. But if you've ever gone online and 
 
searched for the “best laser level,” you may have faced tons of results and 
 
various types of laser levels on the market, making choosing one extremely 
 
overwhelming.

    So we've made it easy for you.

    Before you go ahead and buy a laser level online, read on and find out the 
 
different types of laser levels, this is a breif introduction about one type:

    1. Manual Laser Level

    A manual laser level is exactly what it sounds like. You have to manually 
 
level this construction laser and line up the bubble inside its built-in vial. To 
 
do this, you need to turn its knob or reposition the laser level itself.

    Because of their relatively simple construction, manual laser levels offer a 
 
cheaper alternative to self-leveling laser levels, making the former a perfect 
 
choice for DIY projects. They also require less battery power than a self-leveling 
 
unit. And if you know how to set them up properly, they can help you create 
 
perfectly straight reference lines.

    The problem with this construction laser is that once it gets disturbed or 
 
moved, its accuracy and performance may be instantly affected.

    Uses of a Manual Laser Level

    Economical yet functional enough, manual laser levels are great for DIY 
 
framing, cabinetry, and other simple building projects.

    Pros of a Manual Laser Level

    Less expensive than an auto laser level or a self-leveling laser level

    More energy-saving than a self-leveling laser level

    Comes with a straightforward technology

    Cons of a Manual Laser Level

    Less accurate than a self-leveling laser level

    Requires a proper setup to yield accurate results

    Requires a greater amount of time to set up and level

    Once it gets accidentally moved, you need to level it again

    What Is The Advantage Of Laser Leveling?

    You might be trying to hang a set of pictures along a single wall, but you 
 
don't want them to look lopsided. With a standard leveling system, you could 
 
have a problem. It's impossible to hold your level against the wall while 
 
you're hammering a set of nails. You would need an extra arm, and you 
 
don't have one. So, you would need to have a second person to help you with 
 
the job. <a href="http://www.kiralaser.com/laser-levels/2d-laser-level/" 
 
target="_self">Laser levels make it easier to do these tasks. And in many 
 
cases, they don't require a second person.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a self-leveling laser level?

    Blog what is the advantage of laser leveling

    A laser leveling device will emit a beam that will give you a straight-line 
 
reference along any surface (such as a wall or floor). And because most laser 
 
levels can be mounted to a tripod or wall, your hands will be free to hammer nails 
 
or line up whatever needs to be straight. These tools will make DIY projects a lot 
 
simpler, but they can also be beneficial for the construction professional.

    How do I use a 5-point laser level?

    Laser levels send out a beam of light that can create a virtual chalk line 
 
whenever you need a straight and level reference point, and its size will depend 
 
on the size of the diode. For this type of application, a smaller beam is 
 
preferable because it's more precise. With a wider beam, the actual level 
 
point can be anywhere inside the width of the beam.

    Can I use a laser level on the floor?

    You can use a surface laser leveling device by setting it at the benchmark 
 
high spot that you want throughout the floor. A single laser line means you have a 
 
consistent elevation that's on your benchmark point. But if you see two lines, 
 
the floor is either lower or higher. From there, you'll need to rotate the 
 
device few degrees and mark spots that are low or high until you make a complete 
 
circle. This is where a rotary self-leveling laser comes in handy.

    How do I choose a laser level?

    Blog what is the advantage of laser leveling

    Not all laser levels are created equal, and there are many things you have to 
 
consider before you decide to buy one. Laser leveling devices can be a useful 
 
alignment tool if you find one that's suitable for the kinds of tasks that 
 
you'll be performing. Dot lasers are the most basic types of laser levels, and 
 
they're typically used for simple tasks that are occasionally performed around 
 
the house. A rotary self-leveling laser is made for more complex construction 
 
projects that need more precise measurements.

    What is a Crossline Laser Level?

    Are you looking to invest in a <a href="http://www.kiralaser.com/laser-
 
levels/cross-lines-laser-level/" target="_self">new laser level but are unsure 
 
which to pick? More often than not it can be hard to tell all the laser level 
 
technology options apart. Here at Position Partner's, we know we're guilty 
 
of using technical language which is one of the reasons we're writing this, to 
 
help you understand exactly what our lasers do and how they can help you.

    If someone has recommended you use a cross line laser level but you don't 
 
know how it will benefit your project, or even how it is different to all the 
 
other lasers on the market, then you've come to the right place. As major 
 
suppliers of laser levels to the Australian, New Zealand, and South-East Asian 
 
markets we've become experts at all things laser levels.

    To put it in short terms, a crossline laser level is able to produce a 
 
horizontal and vertical laser line, either individually or at the same time. This 
 
enables you to line up the exact horizontal and vertical coordinates of your 
 
project with ease, making your job quicker and easier. The crossline laser level 
 
is a popular laser level choice for all industries and applications and often 
 
competes against the rotary laser, which we discuss more in our step by step guide 
 
for using a rotary laser.    

    The    crossline laser    is an evolved version of a line laser and the way it 
 
works is very similar to the technology deployed in a line laser. The device 
 
projects a laser through an optical lens to project the laser as a line instead of 
 
a point. If that overcomplicated your understanding, a simple way to understand 
 
how it works is thinking of a piece of glass that is flat on one side and curved 
 
on the other. When you shine a light or laser through it, it instantly stretches 
 
it.

    Crossline laser levels have specially built optical lenses that allow them to 
 
project two lasers, one vertical and one horizontal. This gives you the choice 
 
between having both on or just one. This choice is particularly important 
 
depending on the type of work you are doing, as at times it is more of a hindrance 
 
than a benefit to have both lasers on.

    Applications for Laser Distance Meters

    Laser 
 
distance meters quickly measure distance to a target using the unit's 
 
laser spot, and can also do a quick calculation of area and volume.
Here's 
 
a collection of 101 great ideas on where to use a laser distance meter:

    Facilities: Layout

    1. Provide accurate estimates for bidding out work (HVAC, electrical, cable, 
 
maintenance). Measure distances, area, and/or volume.
2. Measure height or 
 
width of buildings1 and other objects, by triangulation if needed.
3. Verify 
 
CAD drawings for as-builts and design drawings.
4. Determine how square a room 
 
or object really is, or whether the sides are completely parallel.
5. Lay out 
 
parking lots.
6. Verify that new construction satisfies usage 
 
requirements.
7. Determine the footprint of equipment or office cubicles to be 
 
installed to aid in layout.
8. Create as-built building dim
ensions where 
 
no blueprints are provided.
9. Calculate total internal floor space/volume of 
 
a room or building.
10. Measure distances over areas where obstacles in the 
 
way disallow the use of measuring tapes or wheels.

    Laser Detectors & Receivers Construction

    With all of the types, makes and models of rotating <a 
 
href="http://www.kiralaser.com/" target="_self">laser receivers on the market, 
 
make sure you understand the basics of laser receivers so you can make a wise 
 
purchase decision.    Laser Receivers    (sometimes referred to as    laser 
 
detectors) receive rotating laser signals at great distances.     They are 
 
sometimes hand held, but most often attach to grade rods with sliding brackets.    
 
    Laser receivers    annunciate distinctly with light, sound and sometimes 
 
readable information to indicate when a laser receiver converges on and locates a 
 
rotating laser beam.         A rotating laser may be visible for a few hundred 
 
feet indoors and much shorter distances in daylight, so when used with an 
 
appropriate laser receiver the operating radius is extended out to the laser 
 
operating range (which, depending on the laser transmitter, can be 175m, 300m, or 
 
even up to 500m). A receiver is generally required for outdoor use and for indoor 
 
use when there are very long working distances involved.     Special receivers are 
 
required for line generator units (or other non-rotating lasers).     Machine 
 
control receivers are addressed separately.

    Hand held or rod mounted construction    laser receivers    range from very 
 
basic to very sophisticated, with prices starting at around $150 and ranging up to 
 
$500, and up to $700 for the new digital grade rod receivers.     More advanced 
 
features are available on the more sophisticated units which, as one would expect, 
 
have the highest cost.
