Why Choose Our X-Ray Lead Glass + Switchable Smart-Glass Solution?
• Certified Radiation Shielding Performance
Our lead-glass meets rigorous standards for x-ray room viewing windows and radiation control. Lead-based glass is proven to block ionizing radiation while allowing optical clarity. Whether for medical imaging suites, diagnostic labs, or industrial NDT environments, our panels deliver robust protection and visibility.
• Instant Privacy at the Flip of a Switch
Using modern switchable smart-glass (also known as privacy glass or PDLC/LCG® technology), you get transparency when you need to view, and privacy when you need discretion. With a low-voltage current applied, the glass toggles from crystal-clear to opaque in less than 1 second. This is ideal for control rooms, observation windows, hybrid PACS/CT rooms, tele-health spaces, and any area where view + privacy are both required.
• One-Stop Custom Solution
We integrate both radiation-shielding lead glass and smart privacy functionality into one seamless glazing solution. That means fewer suppliers, simplified logistics, faster turnaround, and a premium aesthetic finish. You don’t have to compromise visibility for privacy or safety for style.
• Fast Turnaround, Trusted Support
From specification to delivery, we move with precision and speed. Our team specializes in x-ray room design, radiation compliance, and glazing solutions. We handle the technical details so you can focus on installation and performance.

Features & Technical Highlights
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Lead-glass shielding (custom mm lead equivalency) | Protects staff and patients by attenuating ionizing radiation effectively. |
| High visible light transmission | Maintains clear line-of-sight without dark tinted vision windows. |
| Switchable smart-glass core (PDLC/LCG®) | Toggle between privacy and transparency as project demands. |
| Custom sizes and frames | Fits project requirements: large panels, heavy duty frames, fire-rating if needed. |
| One supplier, one installation interface | Fewer logistics, smoother project management, less risk. |
| Premium aesthetic finish | Our glass meets architectural, healthcare and industrial design expectations — safety doesn’t mean compromise. |
How It Works
-
Specification & Consultation — We collaborate with your design/engineering team and radiation physicist to define lead equivalency, view size, switching functionality and fit-out details.
-
Fabrication & Integration — We manufacture the lead-glass panel to radiation specs, incorporate the switchable layer, and deliver a ready-to-install unit.
-
Installation & Commissioning — Our team (or your installer) sets the unit into the frame, ensures wiring for the switchable function is correctly integrated, and we test transparency ↔ opaque switching.
-
Handover & Support — Documentation, certifications, wiring diagrams, maintenance guidelines — you get the full package.
Compliance & Standards
-
Meets recognized radiation-shielding glass standards (e.g., lead glass meeting or exceeding NCRP & ICRP criteria).
-
Switchable smart-glass meets durable industry performance benchmarks for transparency/opacity change.
-
Ideal for installations where HIPAA, medical-facility design, or high-end architectural aesthetics matter.
-
We coordinate with your radiation safety officer or consulting physicist to ensure proper shielding specification and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast does the glass switch from clear to opaque?
The transition typically occurs in under one second and can be activated with a wall switch or integrated system.
What lead equivalency do I need?
Your radiation physicist determines the correct mm Pb rating based on kVp, workload, and shielding requirements. We fabricate to those specifications.
Does the glass remain opaque if power is lost?
Yes. The default state is opaque, ensuring privacy is maintained during power interruptions.
Can this be used in high-energy or high-radiation environments?
We manufacture custom solutions for medical and industrial settings depending on your required attenuation level.
What are the typical lead times?
Lead-glass panels plus switchable layer are custom-fabricated. Typical turnaround depends on size, specification and mounting frame but we prioritize speed. Contact us with your project specs and we’ll provide detailed lead time.
