Imex are a leader in value for everyday laser levelling ideal for those including builders, farmers and handymen. For a patio project, we recommend using your laser level in conjunction with a detector, with red and green lasers working equally well. Always looks for a self-levelling laser. Regardless of colour, red and green lasers are equally accurate. The growing popularity of green lasers is largely down to their ability to travel further and be more visible in different conditions. We have a separate article dedicated to the red laser vs. green laser debate should you wish to find out the full range of differences. A cross line laser level works by projecting horizontal and vertical beams onto a surface. For DIY projects this type of laser is ideal for tasks such as hanging pictures, mirrors, or fixing shelves to walls; you can use the beams to ensure they are level and in line with a nearby ceiling or walls.

These steps are to help create the level foundation for your patio. If the foundations are level, the paving slabs should be level. An integral part of using rotary laser level outside is pairing this with a laser detector as the 360-degree beams emitted are difficult to see during daytime hours over longer distances. Our entry-level IMEX L2G Mini Green Beam Crossliner comes with a self-levelling feature as standard and a tripod making it a great choice for these small jobs. Stand the bottom of your staff at the point you identified and move the detector up and down the staff until it indicates that you’re level with the laser. This will usually be a solid beep. Secure your detector at this height. To help you choose, we have put together a summary of the two most popular types of laser levels, cross line lasers and rotary lasers, along with some key factors to consider when choosing the right tool for the job.

A rotary laser spins a beam of light to create a 360-degree horizontal or vertical plane and is suited to outdoor projects when accompanied by a laser detector.

Imex offer a full Calibration/Repair service on all the Imex laser levels. Each calibration is supplied with certification.When choosing a laser level consider the size of the areas you will be levelling. Internally, it is likely to be a rarity that you will have a project that needs to measure greater than 30 metres, so a laser level with an accuracy of +/-2mm is a good level of accuracy within the market.

The kit includes a laser, tripod and staff, plus LR1 detector, target plate and batteries all in one carry case. Next, you need to transfer the level from the house to the far end of the patio, taking into account that fall for drainage. So, move the detector from its current point up the staff by the fall depth you’ve already calculated. The staff has marks in 1 cm intervals so makes this much easier. Laser detectors work by producing a short beep when you are close to being level, transitioning to a solid beep when you’re at level. Some Imex detectors can also display a reading in millimetres as to how far from level you are. Having identified the type of laser level you need the next step is to look at the features to ensure your choice does not let you down on the job.
