n Case study1: Fujifilm, Bedford In late 2024 Raybloc created a state-of-the-art X-ray showroom within Fujifilm’s new facility in Bedford, where the marriage of custom-crafted lead-lined doorsets, frameless X-ray screens, and a visionary design philosophy, re-shaped the very essence of radiology spaces. The specifications for this project were exacting, necessitating the use of oak timber frames for the lead- lined doorsets, and laminate surfaces to ensure durability and visual appeal, with the addition of exclusive flush- mounted warning lights for a sleek and hygienic touch to a required feature for any controlled area. The frameless X-ray screen was designed to offer unobstructed visibility while adhering to stringent safety
