The use of a specially designed wall saw enables us to cut X-Ray shielded glass from large bulk stocks in 4 thicknesses giving lead equivalents between 1.5mm Pb and 3.3mm Pb @ 150kV.

These are available up to a maximum sheet size of 2000mm x 1000mm but please refer to our table of weights below. Other lead glass up to 5mm lead equivalent is available to special order.

Examples of
Bulk Plate Sizes
Weight
kg per m2
5/6.5mm (1.5mm Pb) 29kg
7/8.5mm (2.1mm Pb) 38kg
8.5/10mm (2.5mm Pb) 45kg
11/13mm (3.3mm Pb) 58kg

If you are ordering glass for an area with code 5 (2.24mm Pb) lead protection, check with your Radiation Protection Advisor (RPA) is lead glass 7/8.5mm (2.1mm Pb) is sufficient.

To avoid the risk of breakage and injury during handling and installation, please note the overall weight of each piece of glass specified. Leaded ‘H’ bars or leaded timber mullions can be introduced to keep windows sizes to acceptable weights.

Fast deliveries available from our extensive stocks.
