Lead-Lined X-Ray Doors

Lead-lined wood doors provide protection against harmful radiation typically found in medical settings, airports, and industrial applications. These doors are designed to feature interior layers of particleboard or structural composite lumber (SCL) and lead with a wood or laminate exterior.

Radiation Protection Products supplies high-quality lead-lined doors for shielding applications using only the finest materials and workmanship available. With rigorous quality control and ongoing inspections, you can be confident you are receiving the strongest and most functional lead-lined shielding solutions possible. To achieve the highest levels of protection, lead-lined doors should be installed with lead-lined frames.

Wooden Lead-Lined Door Design Options

CORECLAD®

Manufactured as a premium-grade, architectural wood door, CORECLAD® lead-lined doors provide the necessary radiation protection for specific applications. The required lead thickness is split between each side of the door, leaving the center as wood. CORECLAD® doors can accommodate lead thicknesses from 1/32” to 3/8”. These doors can be manufactured with standard CORECLAD® particle board, SCL CORECLAD®, or no-added-urea-formaldehyde CORECLAD® particle board cores.

For applications requiring lead greater than 3/8”, refer to center lead-lined options.

We can achieve maximum sizes of 4’0” x 8’0” on single doors and 8’0” x 8’0” on door pairs, with sizes greater than 8’0” subject to mill acceptance. View the table below for information on lead thicknesses, door thicknesses, and the corresponding 3070 and 4070 door weights.

1. Use minimum udercut (1/4" is standard)
2. Wood and metal vision kits are available
3. Center lead door supplied for all lead above 3/8" thickness

20-Minute CORECLAD®

20-Minute CORECLAD® lead-lined wood doors can be manufactured with 20-minute neutral or positive pressure labels. For 20-Minute CORECLAD® solutions, we can include standard CORECLAD® particle board, SCL CORECLAD®, or no-added-urea-formaldehyde CORECLAD® cores. Fire ratings for these designs include:

• 20-Minute NP: Neutral Pressure
• 20-Minute PP: Positive Pressure Category A
• 20-Minute PPFM: Positive Pressure Category B

This door option can be constructed to 4’0” x 8’0” in single doors and 8’0” x 8’0” in pairs. Below, the maximum size chart provides information on lead thickness, door thickness, and the corresponding 3070 and 4070 door weights.

1. Use minimum udercut (1/4" is standard)
2. Wood and metal vision kits are available
3. Center lead door supplied for all lead above 3/8" thickness

45 & 60-Minute CORECLAD®

45- and 60-minute special lead lined mineral core construction wood doors are available in either Positive or Neutral Pressure environments with lead thicknesses up to 1/4”. Fire labels for either 45- or 60-minute ratings are available in this design. A “S” smoke label is also available in the case that a listed and approved gasket set is applied to the frame. Fire ratings include:

• 45/60-Minute NP: Neutral Pressure
• 45/60-Minute PP: Positive Pressure Category A
• 45/60-Minute PPFM: Positive Pressure Category B

Center Lead-Lined Wood Doors

If shielding levels require a higher lead thickness than 3/8”, a center lead-clad construction is the solution. Center lead-lined wood doors are an adhesive-bonded assembly that can accommodate lead thicknesses greater or lesser than 3/8”. Core options for center lead-clad doors include adhesive-bonded center particle board or a bolted center lead particle board core.

For single doors, center lead-lined configurations can be constructed to 4’0” x 8’0” and 8’0” x 8’0” in pairs, with sizes greater than 8’0” subject to mill acceptance. Refer to the table below for details on lead thicknesses, door thicknesses, and the corresponding 3070 and 4070 door weights.

Applications for Lead-Lined Wood Doors

Radiation protection is critical for the safety of workers, patients, and clients in settings where X-rays and other radioactive equipment are utilized. Lead-lined X-ray doors provide effective radiation shielding in the following applications:

• Medical X-Ray, PET, or CT Scan Rooms
• Imaging Centers
• Veterinary Offices
• Airports
• Defense Applications
• Aerospace Applications

Windows and Frames for Lead-Lined Doors

We can manufacture lead-lined X-ray doors to your specifications with leaded fire-rated glass windows and options as listed. Depending on the radiation shielding level required, including leaded fire-rated glass windows and various size options based on the required radiation shielding. Our capabilities include supply-steel-braced, lead-lined, and hollow metal door frames in standard and custom options.
