It is impossible to imagine modern construction or repair without this indispensable tool. And it’s just impossible to install furniture or kitchen appliances without a level.
How can you beat off the horizontal level?
Laser level
Laser level
If you need a horizontal line over the entire length of the wall, then this is the easiest to do this using a modern laser level, you press a button and a miracle, we have an ideal horizontal line of red color on the wall. We approach, and draw a pencil. You can work with such a device one (boring truth). Laser levels are characterized by accuracy, functional options and, of course, the price that consists of all these nuances.
The only minus of the laser level is that the equipment is expensive, so those who do not want to spend money can do with an old grandfather’s way, a liquid level that costs nothing compared to laser. It is made of two glass or transparent plastic cones, which are interconnected by a transparent hose. We slowly pour water into one cone, and lower the second into the bath so that the water leaves. So we shed water until all air bubbles leave the hose. Carefully examine the hose, the only air bubble will nullify all your efforts on high -quality marking.
Marking in this way to put it mildly, it is difficult to do it, easier to do together. We put one flask in one corner, and the second in the other, wait for the water to calm down, and mark the pencil in front of the water level in both corners. We take one cone to another angle, and put the second so that the water level in it stands opposite the line we have made. We put a mark in the third corner, we do the same with the fourth, and with all the corners, if there are more than four of them.
We find out how height we will fill in the mixture or fill the backfill, that is, what thickness will be the leveling layer. Now you need to find the highest level of the floor of our room, it will be the shortest distance from the devil to the floor. Remove the thickness of the leveling layer from the resulting distance and put down the result from each line. We put a new line. Got the level of new sex. Typically, the floor level in different corners differs by an average of two to three cm, this means that the thickness of the filling or filling will be larger in the place where the floor level below.
Now it is necessary to connect the marks made by straight lines, for this we need twine and chalk. We rub the twine with chalk, pull it between the two marks, pull it and release it like a string, a white strip will remain on the wall.
We perform the same actions with the ceiling. Only here we note at what height there will be a new ceiling. If this is, for example, fascinating ceilings, then this is the thickness of the profile or bar. And, therefore, we find not the highest, but the lowest ceiling level, but by the same way, it will be the shortest distance to the level of level.
The usual level
The usual level
If you need to put it in terms of level, let’s say a washbasin or a gas stove, then the most ordinary building level is suitable for this purpose — the ruler. The same levels are used by tiles when laying tiles on the floor. The only advice is not worth saving and buying the cheapest copy in which too much measurement error will lead to uneven installation of equipment (which can be fixed) or the tile will fall with a slope (which will be much more difficult).
