Radiation doors, also known as lead-lined doors, are specifically engineered to provide certified shielding against ionising radiation. By integrating lead sheeting within the door structure, they minimise radiation transmission and ensure that adjoining areas remain safe for occupants.

These doors form a critical part of radiation shielding systems, supporting compliance with occupational health and safety requirements in medical, veterinary, research, and industrial environments.

Design and Construction

Lead Lining – Manufactured with continuous lead sheeting in thicknesses ranging typically from 0.45 mm to 2.2 mm and above, equivalent to 5 kg/m² to 25 kg/m².

Structural Core – Cores can be constructed from engineered timber, steel, or composite substrates to ensure stability and durability under operational conditions.

Facings and Finishes – Options include timber veneers, laminates, steel, or paint-grade finishes to suit functional and architectural requirements.

Integration – Designed to work in conjunction with lead-lined walls, glazing panels, and shielding partitions to create a complete radiation containment system.

Applications

Radiation doors are installed in facilities where controlled radiation use is part of daily operations:

Medical Facilities – X-ray suites, CT scan rooms, radiology departments, and operating theatres.

Veterinary Practices – Diagnostic imaging rooms requiring reliable shielding for staff and clients.

Research Laboratories – Environments handling radioactive isotopes or radiation generating equipment.

Industrial Operations – Non-destructive testing (NDT) and imaging facilities, including aerospace and manufacturing sectors.

Performance and Compliance

Shielding Effectiveness – Determined by lead thickness, tailored to meet the required level of radiation attenuation.

Safety Assurance – Doors are manufactured to satisfy regulatory guidelines for occupational exposure to ionising radiation.

Durability – Engineered for long service life, with heavy-duty hardware specified to support increased door mass.Thank you for considering our services! To get started with your free quote please send us a message below or call 8014 4400.
