Canada Metal’s 100% made-in-Canada lead blocks and cast lead & extruded bricks offer maximum protection against x-ray radiation. Lead bricks can be manufactured to specification and include chevron-style, interlocking straight, and corner bricks. Lead blocks are available in inventory in flat and interlocking “V” formats in a variety of weights and sizes, and can also be manufactured to specification. They can be painted or dipped is plastic coatings.

Canada Métal North America offers ISO standard 7212 lead brick designs and ISO standard 9404-1:1991 lead brick designs that are used in Europe and the shoulder bricks that are common in North America. All our bricks can be made with any alloy the customer requires and in any thickness from a 1/4 inch to 4 inches.

Lead bricks are used to block the effects of radiation. Canada Metal’s bricks are designed to fit together easily, enabling contractors and building managers to create a custom lead wall or surface. These interlocking bricks feature a flat surface with a “V” profile that can be easily combined for a secure, solid, leak-proof barrier.

Interlocking lead bricks are specified by architects and engineers in the construction, healthcare and nuclear industries. Many hospitals, medical and research laboratories, and facilities with sources of radiation such as X-ray equipment, or radioactive isotopes, will use these bricks for effective shielding.

Consult the experienced professionals at Canada Metal to discuss specific project needs. We regularly help customers design walls, unique solutions for multi-corner constructions, and completely custom solutions from applications such as LINAC trenches and lead castles.

Applications
Lead bricks can be used for temporary or permanent radiation shielding in applications where sheet lead is impractical. A lead castle is relatively easy to set up and take down, while thick lead walls in a hospital setting, or a custom design hotcell shielding system, are meant to be permanent installations.

Industries
Construction, Specialty Door Manufacturers Hospitals, Clinics, Medical laboratories, Veterinary clinics, Research Labs, Nuclear Medicine, Lead Castles, hot cells, and more.

Formats
Canada Metal regularly produces bricks ranging from 1/4 inch thick to 4 inches thick and up to 98 inches long for special corner designs.
