Product Overview

Ultraray’s lead lined plywood is designed for radiation shielding applications requiring enhanced structural support and dependable long-term shielding performance. Commonly used in medical imaging facilities, nuclear environments, industrial radiography installations, and research facilities, lead lined plywood combines high-purity bonded sheet lead with durable plywood backing to support demanding wall and ceiling shielding systems.

Lead shielding is frequently required in installations covering large surface areas where both shielding performance and structural integrity are critical. When shielding thickness exceeds 1/8", lead lined plywood becomes more suitable than standard drywall assemblies because it helps accommodate the additional weight while providing improved architectural support.

Ultraray bonds un-pierced sheet lead to plywood and other construction materials to help maintain continuous radiation protection throughout the shielding assembly. Fire-treated plywood options and custom lead thicknesses are available to support project-specific requirements.

Our CNC fabrication department can also provide custom sizes, shapes, and cut-outs for specialized shielding projects requiring precision manufacturing and installation flexibility.

Radiation Shielding Accessories

Additional shielding accessories are available to help maintain shielding continuity around penetrations and wall openings, including:

• Lead batten strips


• Lead tabs


• Lead disc covers

These accessories help support continuous radiation protection around fasteners, conduits, outlets, joints, and other penetrations that may exist within the shielding system.

Built with High-Purity Sheet Lead

Ultraray manufactures lead lined plywood using our own 99.9% pure sheet lead and lead rolls to help ensure consistent shielding performance, material quality, and fabrication precision across every project.

Our high-purity sheet lead for radiation protection is commonly used in shielding walls, ceilings, doors, mobile barriers, and custom fabricated assemblies throughout the medical, nuclear, industrial, and construction sectors. With 100 tons of sheet lead and lead rolls in stock at our Oakville, Ontario facility, Ultraray supports fast turnaround times and reliable shipping across Canada and the United States.

Lead lined plywood systems are frequently integrated with lead lined drywall, lead-lined doors, lead glass, and custom sheet lead shielding components to create complete radiation protection environments for healthcare and industrial facilities.
