Yeah. Hell on drill bits, and kills saw blades too. Contractors who put it up just brought a pile of saw blades, and when one was dead, they pitched it and loaded another.

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.

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

    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.

        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
