Lead Lined Sheetrock

Lead Lined Sheetrock El Dorado's lead lined drywall (also known as lead lined sheetrock or lead lined gypsum) is available in 1/2” or 5/8” thicknesses. Our lead lined drywall is type X fire code sheetrock meeting classification ASTM C 36. We use pure lead sheeting which meets federal specification QQ-L-201-F, Grade C. The lead sheet is factory laminated to the back side of the drywall for superior performance. The lead extends 1” beyond on vertical edge of the drywall to allow for overlapping of the joints which eliminates the need for separate lead joint strips. 2” wide strips in lieu of the 49” lead width are available. Our lead lined drywall is extremely high quality and built using only the finest materials and craftsmanship.

Radiation shielding accessories for installation include sheet lead for backing and shielding of cut-outs for electrical, plumbing, medical gas, or other penetrations as well as corners with lead discs for screw penetrations. Lead discs may not be required as per NCRP 147.
