Lead Lined Sheetrock / Lead Backed Drywall

Some rooms risk radiation leaks — think X-ray suites, CT scan areas, or research labs. That’s where sheetrock comes in. It looks like standard drywall from the outside, but inside, there’s a continuous layer of lead doing the heavy lifting.
Many installers appreciate that it hangs just like regular board. No need to figure out separate shielding systems. You can choose the thickness and size that fits your job, whether you’re building new or remodeling an older space.
