X-Ray Room Shielding


Build an inspection-ready x-ray room without schedule slips, surprise costs, or compliance headaches.

What Is an X-Ray Room?


A general x-ray room is used to capture diagnostic images with a wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted x-ray system. Patients may stand at a wall bucky or lie on a radiographic table.


These rooms are among the most common imaging spaces in hospitals, urgent care centers, dental offices, and private practices.


Typical X-Ray Room Features


  • Room size: most x-ray rooms are at least 12' x 16' (actual size varies by equipment and workflow).
  • Shielded walls: walls are typically lined with lead-lined drywall (lead-backed gypsum board) to prevent radiation leakage.
  • Lead-lined door: the entry typically includes a lead-lined door with appropriate hardware and sealing.
  • Control booth: a separate, shielded technician area is commonly required for safe operation during imaging.
  • X-ray safety window: a lead-lined window with x-ray lead glass allows visibility while keeping staff protected.

Note: All shielding materials must match the lead equivalency required by your room’s shielding design.


Do I Need a Shielding Plan?


Yes. Shielding requirements vary based on:


  • The type and power of the x-ray machine
  • How often the machine is used
  • Room layout and adjacent occupancy
  • Local building codes and health regulations

A licensed radiation physicist (health physicist) must perform a shielding analysis and issue a report specifying how much lead is required for each wall, door, and window.


Once you have that report, we can quote the exact products you need—fast.

FAQs About X-Ray Rooms


Q: Can I build an x-ray room without a shielding plan?
A: No. A shielding plan from a licensed physicist is typically required to ensure radiation safety and compliance.


Q: How thick does the lead need to be?
A: It depends on your shielding report. Common ranges vary by use, equipment, and adjacent occupancy.


Q: Do you install x-ray windows and doors?
A: Our products are designed for professional contractor installation and are built to make jobsite installation straightforward.


Q: Can leaded glass be combined with other features like bullet resistance or insulation?
A: Yes. Certain configurations can be engineered for multiple requirements depending on the application.


Fast Lead Time. Contractor-Friendly Installation.


Our lead-lined window frames ship factory-assembled with the lead glass pre-set. That means clean installs, fewer callbacks, and a smoother inspection path.
