Screeding Level

Screeding level is commonly used in the construction industry. It is used to level

concrete floor coatings in a process known as screeding. A screeding level is a long, thin
length and straight sides with a box profile. A box profile is made of hollow aluminum
or magnesium.The length of the screeding level is around 1.8-3 meters with the width
being around 1-20 centimeters. The depth of the screeding level is approximately
between 2 and 12 centimeters. The screeding level has three main parts: handles, end
caps, and a vial. The screeding level has two handles. It is shaped like a stadium or
rounded rectangle. The handle on a screeding level also provides additional comfort for
the users when carrying out their work with plastic or rubber-coated. So, this makes the
screeding level more ergonomic and easier to use. At the end of two sides of screeding
levels are called end caps. It is made of plastic. End caps are used to prevent concrete
from entering the open section of the screed. Some screeding level has three vials, one
horizontal, one vertical, and one angled at 45 degrees. It is used to gauge whether a flat
surface is a level. The Vials on screeding levels are equipped with vials similar to the
ones usually found on spirit levels. It is shaped like a cylinder or a cuboid and is marked
with a central point. The tube is deliberately filled with a small air space that creates a
bubble. The liquid in the vials is usually oil or alcohol with added such as fluorescein
which makes the color is yellow or green.
