GIB-X Block® is a specialist plasterboard and jointing system to provide protection from X-ray radiation in medical facilities, dental clinics and veterinary practices. Unlike other lining systems traditionally used in such applications, GIB-X Block® achieves an effective radiation barrier without the use of lead. It eliminates complex and costly installation procedures associated with lead based lining systems. And, performs other critical functions such as noise control and fire resistance ratings. Ideal for renovations or conversions of timber, steel and/or concrete construction where increased X-ray shielding is required.
