Lead Plasterboard

Lead lined plasterboard is used to line the internal faces of x-ray rooms and scanner rooms.

Lead plasterboard is available square edge and should therefore be over layered with taper edge boards or skimmed to produce a finished face.

Stud walls:

Boards can be applied to a proprietary metal stud system or timber stud walls.

Jointing fillets are used to seal the radiation path where the boards abut at the joints. Fillets can be used up to code 5 (2.24mm) thick lead.

Brick & block walls:

50mm wide leaded battens are fixed to the walls at 600mm centres. The Lead plasterboard is then applied direct to the battens with normal drywall screws. The leaded battens also provide shielding at the joints.

Jointing fillets are available in 6 metre rolls.
