Product Information

Red beam light-duty horizontal only rotating laser, affordable and effective for smaller levelling task 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.

Self-levelling lasers will save you a considerable amount of time if you are going to be using your tool regularly in comparison to having to do it manually. This feature comes standard across the Imex range and configures automatically upon powering up the device. 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. HOLD function makes it easy to use even when you need to confirm the angle of the roof pitch or curb - just place the unit on the rafter and press hold and this will save the reading for youScottish Islands: HS1-9, IV40-51, IV55-56, KA27-28, KW15-17, PA20, PA41-49, PA60-78, PH42-44, ZE1-3 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. Rotating laser levels are often the tool of choice for professionals working on outside and landscaping projects, and they are an excellent choice, sending out a steady beam covering a full 360-degree horizontal plane. However, they do tend to be more expensive and may be overkill for a small domestic patio task, where you could manage with a line laser. Cross line lasers are also a must-have for professionals from a variety of trades. They can be used for kitchen installations, tiling projects, and internal partitions such as drywall, for example. For these jobs, we would recommend investing in a model that beams horizontal and vertical lines 360 degrees around a room. This ensures accuracy is uninterrupted when working across different walls at the same time. 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.

For those looking for an entry-level rotary laser with solid features then our Imex E60 Rotating Laser Level Kit comes complete with a tripod, staff and detector to get you up and running with the majority of laser levelling requirements. For the more discerning tradesperson the Imex i88G is at the top of the range; with dual-slope function, a higher degree of accuracy and the ability for vertical levelling. Identify a point in the top corner of the patio, by the house, which is at the desired height – this should be below the damp proof course, allowing for a sensible step down from the house Scottish Highlands: AB36-38, AB55-56, FK17-21, IV1-39, IV52-54, IV63, KW1-14, PA21-40, PH19-26, PH30-41, PH49-50Regardless 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. As an industry-standard rule of thumb, you should be aiming for a ratio of 1:80. If your patio runs for 6m from the house, divide that 6m by 80, giving you 7.5cm – and that should be the difference in height between the top and bottom of your patio. Not enough to tip your drink over, but enough for rain to flow away. You will have the option to choose this service if you are purchasing your item for delivery to mainland UK. When it comes to laying a new patio, preparation is key. It can be time-consuming work to ensure everything is at the correct level, but it’s well worth it!
