X-Ray Protective Viewing Window
Raybloc manufacture fully bespoke radiation-protective internal lead lined viewing windows, made to measure. Built to NHS HTM standards and the latest hygiene regulations in use in a medical, dental, veterinary or radioactive environment.
Specially designed radiation windows and leaded glass for use in radiation protection
Our radiation protective lead glass viewing windows are available with multiple privacy panel options to make the working environment as simple and efficient as possible. This includes interstitial blinds for a hygienic blind effect between a lead glass and regular glass pane, and also switchable lead glass that turns from opaque to transparent when supplied with an electrical current.
X-ray protection windows can be specified to any protective shielding level and size to suit walls containing lead lined plasterboard, lead-lined plywood, or lead chevron bricks. Whatever the size, your radiation protection shielding requirements will be more than covered by our specialised lead glass and overlapping lead lined frame and architrave. The maximum sheet size for lead glazing is 2400mm x 1100mm. Lead-lined mullions and transoms can also be manufactured for structural openings greater than 2500mm x 1200mm.
To ensure your lead glass windows are installed into your X-ray rooms properly, Raybloc offer installations from our expert radiation shielding expert fitters. This covers you from potentially smashing expensive leaded glass products during fitting.

Lead thickness is increased to achieve various levels of radiation protection as advised by an RPA (Radiation Protection Adviser). Weights of various thickness of lead are shown on this illustration. Higher thickness of lead is available upon special request.
All our frames are made from hardwood to insure our X-Ray windows have long term durability. Type of hardwood can be stated at time of order or finished primer.
Window frames and architraves are available in the following finishes:
- Paint grade primer painted.
- Hardwood (right) plain/lacquered/anti-bacterial lacquered.
- Acrovyn Yeoman Shield/PVC wrapped. For the ultimate protection in impact and hygiene innovation, plastic wrapped frames are available using the leading manufacturers of PVC impact sheeting in the UK.
Double Glazing Options
Although lead glass is not fire rated, double and triple glazed sealed units can be formed to meet fire regulations. Any glass can be specified with this method which allows the lead glass to also be double glazed with either fire resistant/insulation, sound insulation.
Privacy Film
Patient and operator privacy can be an issue in some work spaces. With this in mind, Raybloc offers customers the option to have their radiation window glass layered with a film of their choice. Films are available in any range from one way film, tinted, opaque, strip obscured to coloured.
Polarised Glass
Polarised glass is ideal for use in back to back rooms that use the same control room.
The X-ray window glass only allows the same light to pass through the one pane but not the second. The result is a complete black out pane when viewed through both windows, yet complete vision when viewing through just the one. This allows the radiographer to view both rooms from the control room with no mechanics or electronic switches involved as it is the glass itself that stops the light. However, although the patient can still see the radiographer which provides them with comfort. The patient can not see the patient in the opposite room, all they see is a blacked out pane of glass. For extra detail on this please enquire.
