Lead‑Lined Door Sets - Radiation‑Shielding Doors - Bespoke

Envirotect Lead‑Lined Door Sets are radiation‑shielding doors engineered for medical, dental, veterinary and industrial environments where controlled exposure to ionising radiation is required. Each door set provides continuous lead protection through the door leaf, frame and architraves, ensuring there are no weak points in the barrier. Envirotect door sets are precision‑manufactured in the UK and fully bespoke to project requirements. A continuous lead core - specified by a Radiation Protection Advisor (RPA) - runs through the entire assembly, delivering reliable shielding for X‑ray, CT, PET, fluoroscopy, nuclear medicine and industrial NDT facilities.

Doors can be supplied as single, double or unequal‑leaf sets, with optional lead‑glass vision panels in almost any size or shape. Fire‑rated and smoke‑sealed versions (NFR, FD30, FD30s, FD60, FD60s) are available, combining radiation protection with tested fire performance. A wide range of finishes - including paint‑grade, hardwood veneer, laminate and PVC - allows the doors to match existing interiors or create colour‑coded zones within clinical spaces. They provide certified, continuous radiation protection, full design flexibility, and optional fire‑rated performance -- all in a UK‑manufactured, fully bespoke door system trusted across healthcare and industrial sectors.

CHARACTERISTICS

• Continuous lead core through door leaf, frame and architraves for full shielding integrity.
• Custom lead thickness from 1.32 mm (Code 3) to 3.55 mm (Code 8), as specified by an RPA. 
• Fire‑rated options: NFR, FD30, FD30s, FD60, FD60s. 
• Lead‑glass vision panels available in bespoke shapes and sizes. 
• Wide choice of finishes: unfinished, paint‑grade primer, hardwood veneer, laminate, PVC. 
• Manufactured in the UK, fully tailored to size, hardware and performance requirements. 
• Door upgrades/skins available for retrofitting radiation protection to existing doors.

To specify an Envirotect lead‑lined door set, the customer must provide door configuration, opening size, lead thickness, fire rating, vision panel details, finish, frame type, ironmongery, and operational requirements, plus any project‑specific constraints. These parameters ensure the door is fully compliant, correctly shielded and ready for RPA approval.
