Lead Lined Wood Doors & Frames

Our custom-built lead-lined wood doors provide the appearance of a standard wood door but contain a lead core. Our lead-lined wood doors can incorporate lead of varying thicknesses, including lead lining of 3/32” thick up to 1” in total thickness. AMBICO lead lined wood doors are ideal for providing radiation protection in X-Ray, PET, or CT scan rooms in medical facilities as well as other industrial and scientific facilities.

Our lead-lined wood doors are available in a number of veneers in order to provide aesthetically pleasing design while providing safety from radiation. The doors are available in sliding or swing, and with or without vision lights.
