How to Paint with EMF Shielding Paint

Using EMF shielding paint is a great way to help protect yourself from the dangers of EMF radiation. But how does it work, and what do you need to do to prepare? Here is more on how to paint with shielding paint.

What Is EMF Shielding Paint?

How it works is by using metals or carbon that block radio frequencies. Once these radio frequencies hit the paint, since it has reflective material, it is bounced from the surface and away from you. Not only does it shield you from radio frequencies, it also protects you from the wires in your walls that create electric fields.

One thing that is very important to keep in mind is that any room you paint in your home should be wireless. If you paint your entire home then it should be a wireless home. This is because what you are essentially doing is creating a Faraday cage. If you use wireless in the area that is painted, the radio frequencies are getting bounced back at you. That creates more exposure.

Now if you cannot or do not want to go totally wireless, you can do single rooms but again, you should not have any wireless technologies in the rooms you paint. Or at least when it’s occupied.

Before You Use EMF Shielding Paint

You must first prime your walls with a non-oil-based paint. This is so the EMF shielding paint sticks or adheres better.

Some EMF shielding paints require grounding with a grounding strap. Those that are conductive need the grounding done by a professional electrician. This is for your safety and per electrical regulations.

Your grounding plate should be placed near an electrical outlet. This is installed after you install your grounding tape. This can be done before or after painting.

Painting with EMF Shielding Paint

This part is easy. Although EMF shielding paint protects you from some of the EMF radiation, you paint with it just like any other paint. You’ll need a regular roller, paint brush, and paint tray. One difference is that since it is conductive, keep it away from electrical wires. Otherwise, paint as you normally would.

For obvious reasons, a second layer of paint gives you more protection. So if you have enough, go ahead and paint two layers of EMF protection paint.

Let it dry for at least 24 hours.
