Frequently Asked Questions About Lead-Lined Door Frames
Why do door frames need their own lead lining if the door is already shielded?
A shielded door only protects where it directly covers the opening, so the frame around the door needs shielding to close the gap. RPP's frames are lined based on where the lead sits relative to the wall: if the lead in the door and the lead in the wall are on the same side of the partition, only the door side of the jamb needs lead. If they're on opposite sides, the entire frame has to be lined.
What frame configurations does RPP offer?
RPP supplies two frame types: knock-down lead-lined frames for retrofitting into existing walls, and welded lead-lined hollow metal frames for new construction. Frames are available in cold-rolled steel or A60 galvanized material, in 16, 14, or 12-gauge thickness, with face and head widths of 2" standard or 4". Anchor options include steel stud "Z," wood stud, masonry tap, existing opening, and compression, and frames can be finished with a masonry or drywall return profile, in either double or single rabbet. Fire ratings of 20, 45, 60, and 90 minutes are also available.
