A lead door typically refers to a door that contains lead, a dense and heavy metal or is constructed with a lead-based material. Lead doors are often used in environments where radiation shielding or soundproofing is required due to lead's high mass and ability to block radiation, especially in medical or industrial settings.

Key Characteristics of a Lead Door:

1.        Radiation Shielding: Lead doors are often used in areas where radiation protection is necessary, such as in medical facilities (e.g., X-ray rooms) or nuclear power plants. The lead content helps absorb and block harmful radiation.

2.        Heavy and Dense: Lead is a very heavy and dense material, which makes the door substantially heavier than regular doors, providing excellent sound insulation and security features.

3.        Soundproofing: Due to the dense nature of lead, these doors also provide superior soundproofing, making them ideal for areas where noise reduction is important.

4.        Durability: Lead doors are highly durable and resistant to corrosion, especially in environments where the air may contain chemicals that could affect other materials.
