screeding level dimensions, length, width, depth, cross section view also A screeding level is simply a long, thin length with straight sides and a box profile.
A box profile means the screeding level is hollow.

Dimensions

screeding level length, 1.8-3 meters Screeding levels are available in different lengths: the choice is dependent on the job you are doing. They can generally be found at lengths between 1.8 and 3.0m (about 6 and 10ft).
screeding level width, 1-20 centimeters The depth of a screeding level is approximately between 20 and 120 mm (about 4″ and 8″).
screeding level depth, 2-12 centimeters Screeding level width is also variable. They can range from 100-200 mm (13/16″- 4¾”). However, thinner tools may not withstand prolonged use as well as the wider varieties.

Handles

Handles make the screeding level more ergonomic and easier to use. They generally come in the form of slots within the tool rather than external add-ons (see below). This means they can last longer and don’t interfere with the straightness of the tool.

Alternative handle design

Some screeding levels, generally much larger industrial usage ones, have a handle which is attached to the top of the level.

End caps

screeding level cross section with and without end caps The screeding level is hollow, which makes it lighter, but this means that the ends are open unless plastic end caps are used. These prevent debris getting inside the tool; which would make it dirty and heavy.

Vials

They are useful on a screeding level for ensuring the tool is being used accurately to apply flat flooring. Some screeding levels come with three differently angled vials: horizontal, vertical and 45 degrees. However, the 45-degree vial is being discontinued and may eventually disappear.
