Construction straightedge SOLA SL1 200 cm – aluminum leveling ruler, model 02012601

SOLA SL1 200 cm construction straightedge (model 02012601) is an aluminum leveling ruler 200 cm long designed to provide a rigid and accurate reference edge for screeding, checking flatness and transferring levels on construction sites. The straightedge is intended as a durable alignment tool for tasks that require a long, stable guide for surfaces and edges. Its aluminium profile delivers a balance of strength and manageable weight, suited to frequent handling and site use.

Advantages

The SOLA SL1 straightedge offers a long, straight reference edge that resists bending and twisting under normal working loads, allowing consistent surface levelling. Its aluminium construction provides corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared with heavier steel alternatives, making it easier to position and transport. The straightedge’s length enables efficient coverage of wide areas and reduces the need for multiple joins or repeated measurements. It is compatible with common on-site measuring and levelling workflows.

Suitable for

• Floor screeding and concrete surface levelling
• Checking straightness and flatness of walls and slabs
• Transferring levels and aligning formwork
• General trade and contractor use where a long guide edge is required

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium profile for balance of rigidity and low weight
• Length: 200 cm useful straightedge length for extended coverage
• Profile: rigid extrusion designed to minimize deflection under load
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface suitable for construction environments

How to use

Position the SOLA SL1 straightedge on the surface to be levelled so the bottom edge bears evenly on high points and spans low points. For screeding, draw the straightedge along the surface supported at the required height or by intermediate supports to obtain the desired thickness. When checking flatness, place the straightedge across the surface and inspect gaps or contact points to identify uneven areas. Use with standard levelling and measuring tools to transfer reference heights and guide cuts or formwork alignment.

Usage recommendations

Handle the straightedge by supported points to avoid unnecessary bending; store it horizontally or hung on supports to preserve straightness. Clean concrete and debris from contact surfaces after use to maintain accuracy. Use proper lifting technique or a second person for long carries to reduce risk of deformation and ensure safe handling.
