A major problem in our area is people thinking their WiFi should magically go
through steel walls and roofs and low E glass windows. In addition to everyone
having a steel pole barn as a shop building or man cave or “party barn”, the
trend of steel roofs on houses and Hardie Board walls has gone to the next step
where many new houses are “barndominiums”, with steel walls and roof. I’m
thinking T-Mobile and Verizon 5G Home Internet probably doesn’t work inside
those.
I guess they are low maintenance, but I would feel like I was living in a tin
can.

I recall a new customer we had a few years ago. New house, new everything. Low
E glass in all the windows, and a stucco exterior (with whatever wire mesh they
used for the stucco). Cellular was non-existent in their kitchen until we
opened one of the low-e sliding glass doors. Suddenly cellular worked.

The low e glazing on windows block it. If the building was insulated with foil
backed boards or is primarily a metal building that does the trick too.

It seems like whenever I walk in a store that offers "Free Wifi" so they can
track you through the store (Target, Kroger, Home detpot, etc), my cellular
service is immediately non-existent. So there must be some fairly simple way
to block it.

The good stuff is very expensive. I would try galvanization paint. Test it on
a cardboard box first.
Zinc arc spray is great but takes a machine to do.
Aluminum foil and spray glue.

Subject: [AFMUG] RF filtering paint
So, for a project to block cellular signal in some rooms I started looking for
a paint that will filter/ block, faraday paint if you will. We want to force
all cellular users to move over to wifi calling in the locations for a wifi
marketing product demo
It quickly becomes apparent that gets into the batshit pool of crazy with EMF
blockers, etc
Is there a brand/product for this purpose that works well? Paint is always an
option, copper mesh is not
