Lead Glass Shielding

Lead Glass Shielding—also known as X-ray glass or radiation protective glass—is designed to provide clear visibility while offering reliable protection from harmful ionizing radiation. Commonly installed in medical imaging rooms, laboratories, and industrial test sites, it’s an essential component for any space requiring observation and shielding at the same time.
