A laser screed is a highly specialized machine used in concrete construction to achieve exceptionally flat, level, and smooth surfaces. It works by using a laser transmitter that sets a precise elevation reference, which the screed’s receiver reads in real time. This allows the machine to automatically adjust the height of its screed head, ensuring the concrete is struck off to the exact grade with remarkable accuracy.
Laser screeds dramatically improve both efficiency and quality. These machines can cover large areas far faster than manual screeding, reducing labor needs while minimizing human error. The consistent vibration and leveling action also produce a denser, more uniform slab, which is essential for achieving high FF/FL numbers—industry measurements of floor flatness and levelness that are critical in industrial and commercial settings.
Laser screeds are commonly used in warehouses, big‑box retail stores, airport hangars, and other large concrete floor projects where precision and speed are paramount.
