Made in Cary, Illinois, these wood doors deliver proven radiation shielding and meet safety standards for use in medical, laboratory, and industrial settings.
Construction Details
-
A single lead sheet runs the full width and height of each door, held securely between a divided solid core. This ensures continuous shielding coverage.
-
The internal assembly uses lead‑covered lag or through bolts placed every 8 inches and set 1.5 inches from edges. Rails and stiles are mechanically fastened to support the lead core.
Bonding & Finish
-
We use high‑grade casein glue on cross-banding and face veneer, pressed and cured overnight. This method produces strong adhesion and a smooth, durable finish.
-
Standard veneers are birch and oak; we will accommodate other wood species on request (additional time may be necessary).
Tailored to Your Project
-
Specify exact size, lead thickness, and veneer type to match your project’s architectural needs.

Options include leaded glass viewing panels or light-blocking covers for visibility while preserving shielding integrity.
