X-Ray Safe
Internal lead lining disallows the transmission of radiation waves through the door.
Radiation Doors feature lead-lining in their core to contain the radiation emitted by X-ray devices in hospitals and healthcare facilities. The door fulfils an important protective measure against exposure to radiation between rooms / compartments. Different levels of radiation protection can be achieved through the use of heavier thickness of lead lined materials (0.9mm thickness minimum). Customisation may be made to the door without compromise to its protection against radiation; this commonly includes the fitting of a Vision Panel with specially constructed radiation glass and frame.
The Complete Set
This is a complete door set curated for radiation protection purposes. This includes both the door leaf and door frame. The door features a Solid Core in addition to lead sheets spanning from edge-to-edge on either side of the core. The frame also features lead lining across its substrate in addition to being backfilled (this can be completed by Spence or on-site). Altogether, the door set’s lead-lining and solidity throughout form a complete radiation resistant barrier.
Accessibility
X-ray rooms and many Hospital / Healthcare walkways often need to meet Accessibility standards. Spence Doors can advise you on the requirements of your door set and manufacture bespoke to these details.
Radiation Door Set (Peeled Back)
Featuring Lead Lined Particleboard Core + Lead Lined Zincanneal FrameInternal lead lining disallows the transmission of radiation waves through the door.
This product is available with a wide range of additional extras to suit specific project requirements.
Resistant to contaminant transmission between rooms with surface properties suited to healthcare settings.
The door leaf's internal details is subject to specification needs, varying door leaf thicknesses and configuration (Single or Pair leaf). This will a solid core with lead sheets fitted on either side (between the core and skins). A minimum covering of 0.9mm lead sheets on each side of the core is required.
By standard, a Zincanneal frame is quoted on this door set provided its cost effectivity for standard X-Ray room purposes. However, all of the following frame options are available with this door set inclusive of both metal and timber construction:
Zincanneal | Galvabond | Stainless Steel | Hardwood Timber
Irrespective of frame composition, a lead-lining will be fitted to give the frame its radiation resistant properties (see illustration).
The frame requires backfilling with mortar or other approved product by Spence Doors. This can be completed on-site during installation or can be completed by Spence during manufacture as an optional extra.
Vision Panels are compatible with this door set within dimensional limitations. The composition of the glass panels upholds the radiation protection provided by the door set. Vision Panels are commonly applied to Radiation Doors for safety purposes related to visibility between rooms.
