I don’t think so, it’s cement board that looks like wood siding. Hell on drill bits. There’s some new material now called LP SmartSide.

From: Ken Hohhof Sent: Wednesday, January 8, 2025 2:32 PM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' Subject: Re: [AFMUG] RF filtering paint 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.

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. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 1/8/2025 10:04 AM, ch...@go-mtc.com <mailto:ch...@go-mtc.com> wrote: 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.

So there must be some fairly simple way to block it. On 1/8/2025 11:22 AM, ch...@go-mtc.com <mailto:ch...@go-mtc.com> wrote: 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.

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?
