Lead Glass Pro Expands Nationwide Installation Services, Simplifying Radiation Shielding Projects for Healthcare Facilities

Published

By

Single-source solutions help healthcare facilities and contractors eliminate delays, coordination issues, and inspection risks.

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif., June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lead Glass Pro, a leading supplier of radiation shielding products, has announced the expansion of its turn-key installation services across 26 states, providing healthcare facilities, imaging centers, veterinary hospitals, and contractors with a simpler, faster, and more reliable path to completing radiation-shielded construction projects.

For years, facility owners and general contractors have faced a common challenge when building x-ray rooms, CT suites, cath labs, and other imaging environments: coordinating multiple vendors, installers, shielding materials, and subcontractors while hoping everything comes together correctly at inspection. The result is often project delays, change orders, failed inspections, and costly rework.

Lead Glass Pro’s new turn-key installation service was designed to eliminate that uncertainty.

Rather than sourcing shielding materials from one supplier, hiring a separate installer, and relying on contractors who may have little experience with radiation shielding, customers can now work with a single company that provides both the materials and installation expertise required to complete the project correctly.

“Our goal is simple: make radiation shielding easy,” said a spokesperson for Lead Glass Pro. “Healthcare providers and contractors already have enough to manage. They shouldn’t have to worry about whether the shielding was installed correctly, whether critical components were missed, or whether the project will pass inspection. We provide a complete solution backed by experience, documentation, and accountability.”

The service covers a wide range of healthcare construction projects, including medical imaging rooms, x-ray rooms, CT suites, cath labs, surgical centers, urgent care facilities, and veterinary imaging environments.

The expansion builds on Lead Glass Pro’s reputation for rapid fabrication, responsive customer service, and comprehensive radiation shielding solutions, including lead glass windows, lead-lined doors and frames, lead-backed drywall, shielding accessories, and custom radiation protection products.

Customers also benefit from several industry-leading protections, including:

10-Year Warranty100% Compliance GuaranteePrice MatchingFast fabrication on many standard productsNationwide support and project coordination

As healthcare construction continues to grow nationwide, Lead Glass Pro believes the demand for specialized installation expertise will continue to increase.

By combining material supply and installation into a single-source solution, the company aims to help customers reduce risk, simplify project management, and move from construction to inspection with confidence.

Consumer adoption and contractor demand for GEN3 technology drive more than 118% year-over-year sales growth

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Trutankless®, a leader in smart electric tankless water heating technology, announced a strong start to 2026 as growing demand from homeowners, plumbers, contractors, and wholesale distributors helped drive sales growth of more than 118% compared to the same period last year.

The company reported first-quarter net sales of $940,470, more than double the $430,090 reported during the first quarter of 2025.

The growth reflects increasing adoption of the company’s GEN3 Smart Tankless Water Heater, as consumers seek energy-efficient alternatives to traditional tank water heaters and contractors look for reliable, easy-to-install solutions that deliver long-term value.

“More than doubling our sales year over year is a strong signal that the market is embracing smart tankless technology,” said Guy Newman, CEO of Trutankless®. “Homeowners want endless hot water, lower energy consumption, and better control over their home’s systems. At the same time, plumbers and contractors are looking for products they can confidently recommend to customers. GEN3 is proving it can deliver on both.”

The company’s GEN3 platform combines on-demand hot water with advanced monitoring capabilities and compatibility with recirculation systems and LeakSecure® technology, making it an attractive option for both new construction and retrofit projects.

As demand continues to grow, Trutankless is expanding its network of wholesale distribution partners and contractor relationships across the country, with particularly strong momentum throughout Arizona, Texas, and Florida.

To support that growth, Trutankless® recently expanded operations with a new Phoenix-based production, engineering, and training facility. The company is also continuing to invest in product innovation, including the development of enhanced remote monitoring capabilities through a customizable mobile app and control platform.

“For contractors, success comes down to customer satisfaction and trust,” Newman added. “The more homeowners experience the benefits of smart tankless water heating, the more demand we’re seeing at the contractor and distributor level. That’s creating a powerful cycle of growth that we’re excited to build on.”

About Trutankless®

Trutankless® is an innovator in electric tankless water heating technology, focused on delivering energy-efficient, reliable, and connected solutions for residential and commercial applications. The company’s smart electric tankless water heaters provide endless hot water on demand while helping reduce energy consumption and maintenance requirements. Trutankless® products are available through wholesale plumbing distributors and dealers nationwide.
