Anti-radiation glass for the medical industry

Medical design is a rapidly growing sector. We are seeing a significant evolution from compact and sterile environments of old, to open spaces that are empathetic to human experience.

Glass is used in medical design because of its openness, visibility and ability to bring natural light indoors.

Glass is being used more than ever before but it can be a very challenging, complex sector to comply with.

Anti-radiation glass is a specialised product which protects against X-ray and other radiation emitting equipment.

Dependent on its application – some specialty glass panels contain layers which incorporate lead or other substances to guarantee protection and safety from transfer of radiation and exposure.

Glassitecture work closely with the builder, building designer and glass supplier to ensure glazing works are completed to the uppermost standard. Work is carried out with the highest priority to minimise impact on the hospital or healthcare environment.
