The Art of Concealment: Hidden RF Shielding in Interior Design

Think you can’t shield your building from electronic eavesdropping and maintain a premium aesthetic?

Think again.

Today’s RF shielding protection technologies and strategies are so discrete that unless you’re looking for them, you’re likely not going to find them. Sometimes, you may even need to cut into wall cavities to find various solutions, underscoring how hidden and these solutions really are.

In this post, we’ll take a closer look at RF shielding solutions and how they’re able to seamlessly blend into your interior design. Read on to learn more or contact Signals Defense today.

RF Shielding: More Hidden Than You Think

Before we get into some of the specific tips and strategies, it’s first worth going over some of the common RF shielding solutions and how they’re typically integrated into building environments. Here’s a look:

RF Window Film

RF/IR window films from Signals Defense aren’t just effective at attenuating signals from emanating beyond the walls of your building, they’re also thin, optically clear and can be installed on almost any type of window. Unless you’re looking for the film, you likely won’t even notice when films are installed on windows.

RF Paint

RF paint is typically painted on walls and/or painted on concrete floors. From there, it can be painted over with other finish paints or floored over with tile, carpet, laminate or another type of flooring.

RF Caulk

Caulk is a common building material that’s used to seal around windows, doors, etc. RF caulk improves your shielding because it is highly conductive.

RFoil® (Radiant Barrier Foil)

RF foil is typically layered between drywall, in ceilings or under flooring.

As you can see, the most common RF shielding solutions are out of sight and out of mind. They seamlessly integrate into a building’s architecture and interior design. But when they’re installed correctly and comprehensively, they represent part of a complete protection strategy.

Blending RF Protection and Stylish Decor

While integrating RF protection solutions without compromising the aesthetic of your office environment is fairly straightforward, there are some best practices you should follow for the best results. Some tips include:

•  Layering solutions: Combine shielding solutions with other fabrics or textures to create a layered look that offers robust protection and premium aesthetics.
• If any RF solutions are going to be visible and not hidden, consider selecting solutions that match the color of your office branding. This will help such solutions blend in more by making them feel like they’re a part of the office.
• Ensuring flawless installation: This is arguably the most important aspect of keeping RF solutions hidden and working properly. For example, make sure you follow installation guidelines provided by the manufacturer and/or the spec document if one has been provided by the architect or client.
