FAQS
What is a radiation shielding door?
A radiation shielding door is a specially engineered door designed to block harmful radiation from escaping a controlled environment such as a radiation vault or treatment room. AVM’s proprietary MatterDoor provides custom-fabricated, lead-lined protection to meet your facility’s energy and safety requirements.
How does automation improve radiation shielding doors?
Automation, like AVM’s MatterLogic control system, enhances safety by controlling door operation precisely and remotely, reducing human error and ensuring that doors operate reliably under strict radiation safety protocols.
Can AVM design custom radiation protection doors?
Absolutely. AVM specializes in custom radiation shielded doors that meet unique specifications for a wide range of industries. We work closely with your team to engineer doors that fit your facility’s structural and safety requirements perfectly.
What industries require radiation shielding doors?
Radiation shielding doors are essential in healthcare facilities (like LINAC vaults), research labs, nuclear power plants, and any environment where radiation protection is legally mandated and critical for safety.
