Radiation protection window

fixedlead glass

Offering radiation protection, our custom-made lead glass observation windows provide superior visual clarity whilst meeting the highest safety standards to protect your staff and patients. Manufactured in accordance to NHS HBN6 requirements and meeting hygiene demands, our lead observation window range is designed to meet the most demanding healthcare, dentistry, veterinary and industrial needs. Lead glass observation windows (containing up to 65% lead oxide) provide radiation protection at a fraction of the thickness of lead acrylic or plate glass. As a comparison, normal glass world need to be over 180 mm thick to afford the same protection as a lead glass window of 8 mm thickness (1.6 mm lead equivalent at 150kV) whilst a lead acrylic / plastic would need to 38 mm thick to offer the same protection, significantly reducing observation quality.
