Lead-Lined Plywood Product Details

Dooden Door starts with a piece of sheet for lead and lead alloy strip, sheet, and plate products. The lead sheet is 99.9% pure or better of un-pierced virgin lead, free of dross, oxide inclusions, scale, laminations, blisters and cracks and is factory laminated to plywood panels. The Plywood is available in 10mm or 16mm in thickness with a lead thickness of 2mm, 3mm or 4mm maximum thickness.

Lead-laminated to plywood is applied in 1000mm widths on equal plywood widths up to 2440mm lengths.Batten strips can be supplied to cover all joints where applicable. Lead-lined plywood is typically recommended for heavier lead shielding requirements, usually when the lead shielding exceeds 3mm thick.   Lead-lined plywood at these thicknesses becomes very heavy to handle in full sheet form (1220mmx2440mm).We recommend having us cut the lead-lined plywood into widths that are equal to your on-site stud dimensions.This will make the lead-lined plywood much more manageable for the installer.

Smaller panels will require more batten strips but the ease of handling these lighter panels will be offset in the extra cost and labour during the installation process. Similar to leaded drywall, the installer will need to take into account the loss of shielding in all penetrations, seams and cut outs in the leaded plywood. Shielding will need to be added to all receptacle switches, fasteners penetrations and seams created when applying the leaded plywood. In the majority of installation jobs the leaded plywood panels can be mounted directly to the metal studs with standard drywall screws. Leaded plywood panels may be used in the ceiling but may require additional support of fasteners to hold the panels to the ceiling.

Installation

It is important to ensure the installation is done in accordance to local state or provincial standards and code regulations as outlined for each jurisdication. All panels will be affixed to heavy gauge metal studs sufficient to support the leaded plywood. Screw or fasten lead-lined panels 200mm on centre at panel edges and 300mm on centre to intermediate framing members.   Erect all panels in a vertical position where possible or horizontally where required by local codes.
