Product Information

Description

Coverdoors provides you with a complete set, including:

Door

Metal frame

Heavy duty hinges

Radiation proof lock and full perimeter inner lead layer to both the door and frame.

Radiation-proof doors have a very useful and protective role to play in areas with high levels of radiation, and are suitable for applications in:

Dental Surgeries

OPG/CBCT Rooms

Operating Theatres

Diagnostic Imaging (X-ray, CT Scan rooms)

Veterinary Clinics and

Laboratories

 

Coverdoors can supply commercial grade wooden radiation-proof doors lined with lead in a single or double leaf for areas with the provision of radiation protection. Radiation door panels are available in a choice of high pressure laminate, antimicrobial laminate or veneer finishes, with an optional impact resistant flush finish inox kick plate and edge protection. (INOX plates and protection are 1 mm in thickness).

 

 

X-ray doors can also be manufactured using the Hermetic door systems, they are not in our product range, for this we only provide the doors, the frame mechanism and the equipment is provided from our partners.

Hermetic doors limit the air flow between two areas and creates a controlled environment by reducing air leakage and therefore the potential for cross contamination. Hermetic doors are specifically designed for use in any areas where air permeability, hygiene, and noise insulation are critical, such as operating theaters and laboratories.

 

 

Lamishield, Abet Laminati HPL antimicrobial laminate, is the answer to a specific requirement: the reduction of risks of infections and illness related to cross contamination. Thanks to the BioCote® silver-ion technology fully incorporated into the decorative layer, Lamishield reduces the level of bacteria on its surface by up to 99.9%. In conjunction with good hygiene and cleaning practice, Lamishield is able to inhibit the growth of a broad spectrum of microbes.

Most of Abet Laminati Collections can be produced in Lamishield version. Abet Laminati has chosen BioCote®, the leading provider of proven antimicrobial technology to companies around the globe. BioCote® technology uses silver’s natural properties to provide continuous integrated antibacterial activity to the surface of Lamishield for the lifetime of the product.

 

Specifications of our Radiation doors:


Door core – Tubular chipboard with an inner lead layer (single or double lined)
Stiles and rails of the doors – Hardwood in order to handle the extra weight of the door
Lead options – 1mm or 2mm lead thickness
Door cover – High Pressure Laminate or Veneer
Door frame – Metal galvanized with a thickness of 1.5 mm, electrostatic painted, protected with lead (lead thickness is the same as the door)
Door configurations – Swing single, rebated swing double, sliding single
Lead options – 1mm or 2mm lead thickness
Lead glass observation window opening sizes – 0.25 – 0.50 and 0.50 – 0.75 m2
Lead glass – 1.2 – 2.1 mm Pb/150kV

Example (1)- A typical door set with a dimension of 215 x 95 x 12cm (2 square metres approximately)

2 x 35kg = 70kg (door leaf) + 30kg (frame & architraves) = 100kg in total
Door thickness (with 1 mm lead lining) – 45mm
Door weight – 35kg/m2
Frame weight (with lead protection) – 30 kg for a typical wall thickness of 12cm

Example (2) – A typical door set with a dimension of 215 x 95 x 12cm (2 square metres approximately)

2 x 49kg = 98kg (door leaf) + 40kg (frame & architraves) = 138kg in total
Door thickness (with 2 mm lead lining) – 46mm
Door weight – 49kg/m2
Frame weight (with lead protection) – 40 kg for a typical wall thickness of 12cm

(The above figures are weight estimates of the products calculated from the density of the materials used. The actual weight of the product may differ if another finish is used or the thickness of the wall changes)

Hinges – 3 Heavy duty ball bearing hinges certified for 120kg weight

Lock – Special lock for radiation door. The hole for the knob is in a different location (off center) so that the radiation cannot pass through

Seals – Sealing rubber (full perimeter)

Galvanised metal frame profile options:

Sizes 10 cm – 24 cm (depending on the width of the wall)

 

 

 

Construction:

The stiles and rails of the door are made with 33 x 50mm hardwood, the core of the door is constructed using a tubular chipboard and the stiles and rails are covered on both sides with HDF, which has an inner lead layer thickness of 1 or 2 mm. The final fortification of the door can be made with a lead layer thickness of 2 to 4 mm and the doors are pre-drilled for the lock and handle with the lock shielded in lead, specifically designed for the use of radiation doors. The pre-drilling for the handle and the lock are off-centre to avoid possible leakage, and in addition, heavy duty hinges are used and finally a lead glass window of similar safety to the door can be added.

 

 

 

The X-ray glass, also referred to as radiation shielding glass or lead glass, is leaded glass that provides shielding protection by absorbing the energy of radiation, similarly to that of lead lined doors. The shielding effect is created by a high concentration of lead and barium and the glass can be optically clear or have a slight yellow tint. Lead lined glass is manufactured in a variety of sizes, shapes and thicknesses depending on the intended application. Typically, the thicker the lead glass, the higher the level of radiation shielding. Radiation shielding glass provides protection while allowing technicians to view imaging or radiation therapy procedures and is used in permanent and modular shielding applications. Leaded glass can also be laminated to meet the safety specifications for impact resistance.
