EMF Shielding for Bedrooms & Living Areas
Home EMF Shielding Products for Bedrooms & Living Areas
After your home has been surveyed for EMFs the mitigation work begins.
Below are a list of products that, if installed and used properly, will lower your exposure to the four types of EMFs that the Building Biology field view as problematic.
Special attention should be provided to the bedrooms, due to the frequency of time spent there and the importance of unencumbered, restorative sleep.
To lower your exposure to common home office sources, please visit our “Office EMF Protection” page.
RF Shielding
Radio frequency (or RF) fields are commonly created by the following sources: cell phones, cell towers, wi-fi routers, smart watches, wireless headphones and any electronics that utilize wi-fi or bluetooth technology.
This type of shielding includes fabrics, paints, window film, bed canopies and other EMF shielding that will reduce or eliminate your exposure to these RF fields.
Why do you want to block this exposure? Exposure to these fields may, at a minimum, be hurting your sleep. EMF Specialists emphasize the importance of good sleep and recommend turning all bedrooms into low-EMF sanctuaries.
Below we have our recommended solutions and shielding products.
Shielding Solutions for RF Exposure
RF Blocking Bed Canopies
These canopies are made of RF blocking material and if properly installed can reduce your RF exposure to nearly zero.
These are great for both adults’ and kids’ rooms and come in a multitude of sizes.
We highly recommend these.
RF Blocking Paint – YShield
YShield is a “grounding” paint that has an RF shielding effectiveness of 99.975%.
It can be used on the interior and exterior of home and is an effective means of lowering your exposure.
Click on the link below for more information about YShield.
RF Blocking Window Film
This is a film that you apply to your windows to block RF fields.
It comes in clear and tinted varieties and boasts an efficacy of 99.99%.
Click on the button below for more information on these window film products and how the installation process works.
RF Shielding Foil or Mesh
RF blocking mesh or foil can be used inside the walls to block radio frequency radiation from exterior sources or from adjacent neighbors in apartment or condo situation.
RF Shielding Fabrics
These fabrics are very useful and have multiple applications.
For example, shielding fabric is great if you want to DIY-build a bed canopy..
A second use would be to build an RF-free enclosure around your work desk or work-station.
Another use of these is to bring a swath of material to block RF emitters in hotel rooms.
RF Blocking Router Guard
If you can’t hardwire your internet, the next best course of action is to purchase a JRS Eco Router and a Router Guard.
The JRS Router will broadcast less frequently and powerfully and the Router Guard will block additional RF radiation coming from the router.
Magnetic & Electric Field Shielding
Magnetic and Electric Field are two other common EMF exposures that people come into contact with in their homes.
Magnetic fields are the trickier of the two to shield, but we provide options for reducing your exposure to both.
Below we have our recommended solutions and shielding products.
Shielding Solutions for Magnetic & Electric Field Exposure
G-Iron Magnetic Field Shielding
G-Iron Flex is a flexible material that can help reduce the strength of AC magnetic fields.
It can help reduce most sources of AC magnetic fields, but is especially effective at smaller internal sources like appliances and circuit breaker panels.
Contact the good people at Safe Living Technologies for more information on the applications and installation of G-Iron Flex.
Grounded, Commercial Metal Conduit
Using commercial-grade metal conduit for your home wiring will reduce electric fields substantially over standard residential wiring.
This is obviously a solution primarily aimed towards new builds and renovations, due to the wall access needed.
A certified electrician will be needed for this, as well.
Remote Electrical Cutoff Switche
These work by shutting of selected circuits via a remote transmitter.
If planned properly, it will reduce your electric field (and dirty electricity) in the room substantially.
These transmitters can be placed on your bedside stand for ease of use and make the “de-energization” and “re-energization” of the circuits far more convenient than flipping breaker switches (which we don’t recommend doing unless you’ve had your breaker boxes and switches signed off on by a certified electrician).
Dirty Electricity Shielding
This is cheating a little bit, because getting rid of dirty electricity is less shielding and more filtering and replacement. The three solutions listed below will have a profound effect on the dirty electricity in your homes however.
If you utilize all three and remove other offending sources like dimmer switches and tech power supplies, your measurements should be pleasantly surprising.
Shielding Solutions for Dirty Electricity Exposure
Satic Power Perfect Box – Whole Home Filter
The Power Perfect Wire-In is a great way to clean up your home’s dirty electricity from external and internal sources.
Most homes have surprisingly high dirty electricity levels due to their lighting choices, a solar installation or from the plugs for their tech devices.
This product will help eliminate the dirty electricity and help you achieve electrical cost savings while doing so.

Dirty Electricity Plug-In Filters
After you or an EMF specialist have determined that there are elevated levels of dirty electricity, you can begin reducing the levels with the aforementioned whole home filter and through the use of dirty electricity filters.
The three most common brands are Stetzerizer, Satic and Greenwave.
You’ll want to have a dirty electricity meter to measure the levels prior and after use of the filters.
Non-Dirty Electricity Producing Light Bulbs
CFL and most versions of LED bulbs are responsible for a lot of the dirty electricity found in homes.
By simply using incandescent bulbs and some newer versions of LED bulbs you can reduce your overall dirty electricity levels substantially.
