Radiation Shielding
In medical construction, the smallest detail can make the biggest difference, especially when it comes to radiation protection. Whether you’re building a new radiology suite, retrofitting an X-ray room, or expanding a dental clinic, the choice of lead shielding materials plays a vital role in ensuring patient and employee safety and compliance with radiation regulations.
Two of the most common materials used for radiation shielding are lead-lined drywall and sheet lead rolls.
Both deliver exceptional protection when installed correctly, but they differ in cost, flexibility, and application. Understanding these differences helps architects, contractors, and facility managers make an informed decision that balances performance, efficiency, and budget
