Lead Sheet Experience
Sheet Lead metal is extremely versatile. Lead sheets provide resistance to corrosion from the atmosphere and salt water; provide protection from radiation, and offer significant noise reduction.
Lead Sheet comes in various thicknesses depending on the application. Thinner sheets can be cut with scissors and molded into various shapes and used to line containers to store radioactive samples or for corrosion-resistant gaskets and coatings.
Thicker sheets can be built into a variety of structures, such as walls, doors, window frames, and cabinetry, to provide the necessary shielding protection and as an excellent barrier material to block the transmission of sound, and for isolating equipment from mechanical vibration. Lead sheets are also laminated with plywood or gypsum to form lead sheetrock or lead plywood for these applications.
