Shielding and Conductive Fabrics

The many attributes of shielding and conductive fabrics are discussed, making selection of the right material for your project easier.

I got very high levels of silver in a toxicology test after about 6 months of wearing the silver argon fabric as a sleep mask, fyi. I've never taken silver supplements so figure it must be from the fabric.

Interesting!

[@Coincidence_Theorist]

A sleep ..mask??? What are you doing to yourself??

What frequency range are these RF shielding materials good for? When they stretch as with clothing and hats, does the effectiveness change? When the user sweats, does that effect the shielding? Being these are RF reflectors, the areas not covered are open to radiation. So, with the case of a hat, does the inside act as a parabolic focusing lens of the RF energy coming into the large uncovered opening?

[@SmedleyButler1]

Can you show tests of the different fabrics? And before and after washing please? Although I have washed them, I didn't remember such warnings about washing them only with distilled water and losing all effectiveness.

What about corrosion? Silver, aluminum, copper corrode.

Show what can be done.

Is there a fabric to repel Cell Phone tower RF's. I was thinking of draping it over my 4 poster bed frame (on all sides)... to block near by cell phone towers. I bought an RF meter ... and my bedroom does pickup harmful RF waves. Does your product only shield from Electromagnetic fields... and not Radio frequencies (from Cell Towers). I have both types of meters (EMF and RF) and they do not meter the same things. Example the EMF meter does not work at all to check for RF around me... and the RF meter does not work to check for EMF around me. I do not need fabric to shield from EMF... but I only need fabric to shield me from RF (from cell phone towers, smart meters, wifi, microwaves, cell phones etc).

Yes, our shielding fabrics (and the canopies made from them) shield for RF. There are no fabrics which can shield for magnetic fields (what you are calling EMF). You can see a selection of RF shielding fabrics at lessemf.com/fabric.html There are many different and unique fabrics available. Some have transparency, some have higher shielding, some are safe for skin contact, and even some are more washable than others, etc. If you need assistance selecting the proper material for your project, contact us through the website linked above!

What type of fabric would be best (to sheild from RF) over a 4 post canopy bed? And approximately how much would that cost? Ball park figure.

[@blwin2]

@@carolLDickinson There is a ready made 4-P canopy from Naturell (by Swiss Shield) available at LessEMF. Has good shielding and will still allow enough air through the fabric.

[@carolLDickinson]

Hi Bernie L... I did purchase the mosquito net style RF shield from Naturell about a year ago... but stopped using it because the noise of my somewhat quiet fan next to the bed would not let me sleep a deep sleep. Also it was a booger bear trying to get in and out of bed... plus I had to keep sewing up the rips near the seam lines. No more bed netting for me. To much trouble... plus it cost a little over $1000.oo Yikes! I am thinking of converting the bed netting to a curtain and placing it over my big glass window where most RF radio frequencies flow through. I don't want to destroy my bed netting... so I may see if I can find an RF shield curtain to replace the curtain there... or drape over it for more shielding.

Carol Dickinson aybe tou could try the RF blocking paints they have?

[@nighthiker8872]

Smart.

[@merylslabbert3570]

Drop that distracting backing track ..so totally unnecessary ...discussion is interesting enough on its own!

[@NoRadBlog]

I don't think that connecting EMF Protection to the electric ground is the right way to go.

[@LessEMF]

Yes, electrical ground is not always "clean". You should check the quality of your ground connection before committing to it. Of course, grounding is absolutely necessary for electric field shielding... but not so for magnetic field or RF shielding.

[@Coincidence_Theorist]

Do you know about the shielding/ attenuating/balancing abilities of nature/the natural such as linen, silk, certain feathers, or any Thing else?

[@NoRadBlog]

@@Coincidence_Theorist Live trees can block RF (partially)... Dirt bricks can also block RF to some extent.
