Radiation protection considerations for architects

When specifying materials it is important that radiation shielding is taken seriously in all environments where X-rays are likely to take place.

Architects and specifiers will need to ensure that they choose the correct products for the job.

Considerations such as size limitations, materials, finishes, architectural details, RPA suggestions, lead coverage methods must all be carefully analysed during the design of radiation areas.

Raybloc is a UK manufacturer that can assist with these considerations. Raybloc have been working with architects over many years ensuring that the first stages of any build take into account the specification of radiation protection products.

Architects often need to think about lead lined materials when creating X-ray rooms, CT rooms and industrial radiation areas. This is where Raybloc come in, they can work with architects to ensure the right products are used for the job.
 
Raybloc have an innovative approach to product development by working closely with hospital estate departments and RPA (Radiation Protection Advisors) in areas such as new coming radiation technology, building regulations, and infection control standards.

All this has led to a returning customer base with a high customer relationship, with many contractors including Raybloc on their approved supplier list.
