Description

The Same Shielding — Your Own Application

🛡 Signature Shielding Technology — ELF + RF in One Layer

DefenderShield’s Signature Shielding uses nanotechnology to incorporate metals into a single laminated layer. That layer blocks two categories of electromagnetic radiation: Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) emissions from batteries and power sources (up to 98% attenuation), and wireless Radio Frequency (RF) emissions up to 40 GHz (up to 99% attenuation). The RF coverage spans WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular signals, and low- to mid-band 5G. This is the same core shielding technology used across DefenderShield’s product lineup — now sold as raw material for custom projects.

Sold by the Foot — Cut, Shape, and Install

✂️ 12” × 19” Per Unit — Continuous Roll for Larger Orders

Each unit is one linear foot: 12” long × 19” wide, weighing 1.34 oz. Order multiple units and they ship as a single continuous roll — three units arrive as one uncut piece of 36” × 19”, six units as 72” × 19”, and so on. The material can be cut with standard scissors or a utility knife to fit your application. No special tools required.

Custom Applications — Walls, Enclosures, and More

🏠 DIY Shielding for Home, Office, and Personal Use

The shielding material opens up applications that finished products cannot cover. Line the interior of a structured bag or laptop sleeve. Install it behind drywall, under flooring, or inside a room to reduce ambient wireless exposure from neighboring units, cell towers, or office equipment. Build a custom Faraday-style enclosure to block RF signals from reaching a specific area or device. The material is flexible enough to conform to curved surfaces and rigid enough to hold shape when mounted flat.

How to use

Working with the Material

1. Order the quantity you need. Each unit is one linear foot (12” × 19”). Calculate the total area you need to cover and order enough units to cover it. Multiple units arrive as a single continuous roll.

2. Cut to size. Use standard scissors or a utility knife to cut the material to your dimensions. Mark your cuts before cutting — the material cannot be spliced back together after cutting. However, it is still effective with overlap between the cut pieces.

3. Position the shielding. Place the material between the EMF source and the body area or space you want to shield. The shielding works when it sits between you and the source of radiation. For pre-wall installation, mount behind drywall or paneling with the shielding facing the radiation source. If you are adding to the surface of a finished wall, ensure proper adhesion to the painted or unpainted surface of the wall.4. Secure in place. Depending on your application, use adhesive to hold the material in position. Be mindful of creating holes in the material with staples or pins because emissions can leak through. The laminated surface accepts most standard adhesives.

Common Applications

• Device shielding: Line the interior of a phone pouch, laptop bag, or tablet sleeve to add ELF and RF shielding to an existing case or carrier.

• Room shielding: Install behind walls or under flooring to reduce ambient wireless radiation entering a room from neighboring spaces, outdoor cell towers, or shared building infrastructure.

• Faraday enclosures: Build a custom enclosure that blocks RF signals from reaching a specific device or area — useful for cybersecurity, signal isolation, or privacy.

Important Notes

• The material blocks ELF and RF only when it sits between the radiation source and the area you are protecting. Gaps, holes, seams, or openings in the shielding reduce effectiveness.

• For full 360° signal blocking (Faraday-style), the enclosure must be fully sealed with overlapping material and no gaps. A single pinpoint opening allows RF signals to pass through.

• This material blocks signals in both directions. If you enclose a device (e.g., a phone inside a custom-built Faraday box), the device will lose all connectivity — no calls, texts, WiFi, Bluetooth, or GPS.

• Do not wash the shielding material. Clean the surface with a dry cloth only. Submerging in water or machine washing will degrade the laminated shielding layer.

  • Shielding is a measured quantity

    Attenuation is measured in decibels across a stated frequency range. Where the manufacturer publishes those figures, they are on the page.

  • Your phone still works

    These shield the side facing your body. Calls, data and WiFi are unaffected, because the antenna side stays open.

Phone sleeve material

What a shield can do, and what it can't

A shielding layer between a transmitter and your body reduces what reaches you from that direction. That is a real, measurable effect — you can put a meter either side of the fabric and read the difference. It is also the entire claim, and it is narrower than most of this industry wants you to believe.

A phone case shields the side against your leg. It does nothing about the tower down the road, the router in the hall, or your phone once you lift it to your ear. A shielded blanket covers what it covers. A faraday bag is the exception — it encloses the device completely, which is why the device also stops receiving anything, which is rather the point of a faraday bag.

Anyone selling you a sticker, a pendant or a plug-in device that 'harmonises' a whole room is selling you nothing. There is no mechanism and there is no measurement. If a product can't tell you how many decibels across which frequencies, in which direction, it isn't shielding anything.

Against an EMF sticker or harmoniser

The EMF market splits cleanly into products that put material between you and a transmitter, and products that don't. Only one of those can be tested.

Our position on EMF

Whether everyday wireless exposure harms people is not settled. Large reviews have not found clear evidence of harm at consumer levels; a minority of researchers disagree; regulators set limits and keep reviewing them. We are not going to resolve that argument on a product page, and we are not going to exploit it either.

What we will do is sell shielding that is actually shielding, say which direction it works in, and leave the decision to you. If reducing your own exposure is something you want to do, you should be able to buy hardware that does what it says instead of a pendant that does nothing.

Questions

Will my phone still get signal?

Yes. These shield the body-facing side only, leaving the antenna side open. The exception is the faraday bag, which encloses the device completely and deliberately cuts it off — no signal in or out until you take it back out.

Does this block all radiation?

No, and nothing does. Shielding works in the direction the material covers. A case blocks what would have gone into your leg; it does not block the cell tower, your router, your neighbour's WiFi, or your phone when it's against your ear. Any product claiming all-round protection is misrepresenting how shielding works.

How is shielding measured?

In decibels of attenuation across a frequency range. Each 10 dB is a tenfold reduction in power, so 30 dB means roughly a thousandth of what went in comes out the other side. The figure only means something alongside the frequencies tested, which is why a number with no range attached tells you nothing.

What's the difference between RF and ELF?

RF is radio frequency — the wireless signals from cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth and 5G. ELF is extremely low frequency, which comes off batteries, power supplies and circuitry rather than antennas. They need different shielding material, which is why a product that handles both is built in layers.

Can I wash the shielded clothing?

Cold, gentle, inside out, no bleach and no fabric softener. Softener coats the conductive fibres and degrades the shielding while the garment still looks perfect. Line dry. Expect shielding performance to drop gradually with washing, as it does with any conductive textile.

Do air tube headphones sound worse?

They sound different. The driver sits at the bottom of a hollow tube rather than in your ear, so the sound travels up a column of air. Bass is lighter than a sealed in-ear monitor. For calls, podcasts and most listening it's unremarkable; for critical music listening you would notice.

Does the shielding wear out?

The laminated layers in cases and pads are stable and should last the life of the product. Textiles are the ones to watch, because washing and flexing degrade conductive fibre over time. Treat shielded apparel as a garment with a service life rather than a permanent fixture.

Is EMF actually dangerous?

Honestly: the evidence does not currently show clear harm at everyday consumer exposure levels, and a minority of researchers think the question is still open. We sell shielding to people who have decided to reduce their own exposure. We are not telling you that you need to, and we would rather say that plainly than sell you something on fear.
