Lead is known for its unmatched ability to block harmful radiation. Sheet lead is used to shield facility employees, equipment and the surrounding environment from the negative effects of radiation. Sheet lead can also be used to create sound-proof spaces, drastically limiting the amount of noise coming in and out of the area. Lead is also resistant to corrosion and can be used to line tanks, such as those found in pickling plants, as well as other facility equipment, protecting it from rust and environmental damage.

Our sheet lead comes in standard and custom sizes to accommodate all applications. Additionally, Canada Metal will factory-fit sheet lead to drywall (gyproc) and plywood, per client specification and fire-code compliant. See our selection of stocked sheet lead items below and contact us for specific non-standard requirements.
