Faraday Fabric & EMF Shielding Materials for DIY Projects

Create custom EMF protection with our faraday fabrics and shielding materials. Each product includes published attenuation ratings and third-party testing data so you can choose materials that match your specific protection requirements.

What you'll find here: Silver-threaded fabrics for sewing and soft applications, copper-nickel meshes for rigid installations, conductive tapes for sealing seams and gaps, and grounding accessories to complete your shielding system.

Understanding attenuation ratings: Shielding effectiveness is measured in decibels (dB). Our silver-threaded fabrics achieve 35-45 dB (99.9% blocking). Copper-nickel meshes reach 50-60 dB (99.999% blocking). Higher dB means more protection—choose based on your specific needs and the EMF levels you've measured.

Choosing the right material: For bed canopies, curtains, and clothing, use soft silver-threaded fabric that remains flexible after sewing. For windows and wall installations, rigid copper mesh offers durability and higher attenuation. For gaps and seams, conductive tape ensures continuous shielding throughout your project.

DIY vs. professional solutions: Many customers successfully build bed canopies, window covers, and room shielding using our fabrics. For whole-room installations or complex geometries, professional consultation ensures complete coverage and proper grounding. We can recommend qualified installers in your area.

Step-by-step project support: Each fabric product page includes project guides with measurements, sewing tips, and grounding instructions. Our bed canopy guide walks through the full build process. Video tutorials demonstrate proper seam sealing and grounding connections.

Real customer projects: Browse verified reviews showing completed canopies, window shields, and custom applications. Customers share their before/after EMF meter readings, demonstrating measurable protection from their DIY projects.

Certifications and testing: Our fabrics undergo third-party laboratory testing with published results. Test data includes frequency ranges, attenuation levels, and testing methodology so you can verify performance claims against independent standards.

Our shielding fabrics come with test reports documenting their effectiveness across relevant frequency ranges. This transparency lets you compare materials and choose the right one for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can faraday fabric actually block?
Faraday fabric blocks RF radiation (WiFi, cellular, Bluetooth, 5G), RFID signals, and provides partial magnetic field shielding depending on construction. It blocks electromagnetic waves through reflection and absorption. It does NOT block light, sound, air, or nuclear radiation. Check specific frequency attenuation ratings for your protection needs.
Will electronics still work inside a faraday enclosure?
Electronics function normally inside faraday enclosures—they're just cut off from wireless signals. Your phone will power on but have no service. WiFi devices won't connect. Battery-powered devices work fine. This is actually the point: protecting electronics from EMP or preventing signal transmission/reception.
Can I make effective DIY faraday shielding with your fabric?
Yes. Our fabrics are designed for DIY projects—bed canopies, window covers, and room shielding. Key requirements: maintain continuous conductivity (overlap seams), ground the fabric for electric field protection, and seal all gaps. We provide project guides with measurements and techniques for common applications.
What's the difference between your fabric grades?
Our fabrics vary in attenuation level, flexibility, and durability. Silver-threaded cotton (35-45 dB) is soft and sewable—ideal for canopies and clothing. Copper-nickel mesh (50-60 dB) is rigid and durable—better for permanent installations. Higher dB means more shielding. Choose based on your project requirements and protection goals.
How do I ensure my DIY faraday project actually works?
Test with an EMF meter before and after installation. Measure ambient RF levels, then measure inside your enclosure. The difference shows your actual shielding effectiveness. Common failures: gaps in seams, unsealed entry points, or inadequate grounding. If readings aren't dropping significantly, check for leaks and improve your sealing.
