These get integrated into bullet-resistant walls. Ronald L.

Since radiation protection is included in Division 13 (specifically 13 49 00), then I would use one of the unassigned numbers in Division 13. Ronald L.

Examples: Judges Bench - Architectural Woodwork; wall at drug area - gypsum board or plaster. I never write a separate section for it. David R.

I tend to go with the recommendationi of the "Unregistered Guest". You can purchase the panels separately to be used on partitions and woodwork and there are relevant details available. For doors and frames where this stuff is use, some manufacturers purchase the product to incorporate into their products, but in the instance of HM door frames, it appears not too difficult to field install the stuff in the frames; still a pain to coordination, but not too difficult.
