Yes. Our physicists and experts will gladly assist in determining the best size, lead thickness, and wall layout to meet site requirements.

NELCO supplies 2″, 3″ or 4″ lead batten strips to shield the seams between each drywall piece, and typically either lead discs or lead tabs to protect the area where screws are attached. Lead discs cover the drywall screw heads, while lead tabs wrap behind the metal stud to protect the screw penetration.

Yes. To ensure an impenetrable shielding system, we also offer lead pieces (of equal thickness to the drywall) to line any penetrations, including electrical boxes, wall outlets, etc.

If more than 1/8″ lead is required, NELCO recommends you use our lead-lined plywood.
