Lead Lined Sheetrock

Lead lined sheetrock combines traditional gypsum board with bonded lead sheeting, creating a barrier against harmful radiation. It’s a go-to material for X-ray rooms, nuclear medicine areas, industrial inspection booths, and anywhere regulated shielding is needed. These panels allow builders to install radiation protection directly into standard wall structures, without interrupting framing or finishing work.

Also known as:

  • Lead-backed drywall

  • Radiation shielding gypsum board

  • Lead-clad wallboard

  • Lead gypsum panels

  • X-ray room wall board
