Radiation Protection
Radiation-shielding hollow-wall boxes: the fast and safe solution for medical environments
Hospitals, dental practices and other medical facilities where X-ray radiation is used are subject to strict requirements for structural shielding. Electrical installations must not compromise the radiation-shielding performance of walls.
With ATTEMA radiation-shielding hollow-wall boxes, the protective function of the wall is maintained. No special radiation-shielding covers, lead aprons or other additional shielding measures are required. This makes installation faster, clearer and more reliable. The boxes are available in lead-free and lead-lined versions. Both variants are designed for safe and practical installation in radiation-shielding walls and can also be fitted retrospectively in closed walls.
Installation without additional shielding measures
Installing electrical systems in radiation-shielding walls requires precision. The specified protection level of the wall must remain intact after the flush-mounted box has been installed. ATTEMA radiation-shielding hollow-wall boxes provide a complete solution. The box itself provides the required shielding around the installation point, eliminating the need for separate protective covers or manually fitted lead shielding. This saves installation time, reduces the risk of installation errors and makes installation quality more predictable. Back-to-back installation is also possible, depending on the wall construction and applicable conditions of use.
Lead-free or lead-lined
Depending on the wall construction and project requirements, you can choose either a lead-free or lead-lined version. The lead-free version is particularly suitable for lead-free radiation-shielding walls, such as Knauf Safeboard. The lead-lined version is primarily intended for lead-lined walls. Both versions can also be used in other suitable radiation-shielding wall constructions, provided that the applicable conditions of use are met.
Which version should you choose?
Choose the lead-free version when working with lead-free radiation-shielding wall boards or when a lead-free solution is preferred for sustainability or handling reasons. Choose the lead-lined version when the wall construction includes lead lining and protection equivalent to up to 2.5 mm of lead is appropriate. The final choice always depends on the wall construction, the required protection level and the positioning of the flush-mounted boxes. Always consult the relevant test documentation and conditions of use.
