In our wireless world, many people are finding they are particularly sensitive to the EMF radiation coming from all manner of wireless energy. If you're wondering about what EMF is, August Brice (our founder) has an excellent well-researched guide to EMF here.
Do Swiss Shield fabrics work to block RF radiation?
Yes! Fabric like both of these semi-transparent, linen-like, metal-infused materials is used by many for protection against high-frequency radiation and lower magnetic fields with the .
We offer two varieties of Swiss Shield fabrics: Naturell Ultra or Naturell
You can order the fabric by foot and each 12-inch length will be 98 inches in width.
*Please Note: Fabric cannot be returned once cut and shipped. All sales final.
Swiss Shield Naturell Ultra :
Swiss Shield Naturelle Ultra is our premium externally conductive and groundable fabric providing the option to reduce low frequency electric fields in addition to radio frequency / microwave radiation
Naturell Ultra Fabric is more expensive and can be Grounded-in fact it's best if it is--and then it can help you block the lower electric fields as well as the wireless RF EMF signals.

Washing and Drying Care:
- Machine wash on gentle cycle with cold water
- Iron without steam lowest temperature setting
- No bleaching
- No chemical dry cleaning
- Hang to dry
- Do not tumble dry
This is what you might use for curtains or as a bed canopy to keep energy from WiFi, cell towers, cell phones, and Bluetooth from a sleep space or particular area of your home.
Naturelle:
Swiss Shield Naturell is a premium, decorative, tight-weave, natural cotton, shielding fabric with MORE EMF blocking ability.
In the photo above, Naturell has the denser weave which, while still sheer, has a more opaque look.
Naturell Features:
- Semi-transparent textile fabric with excellent RF shielding characteristics
- Higher shielding power than Daylite
- Applications include window curtains and liners, canopies, and room dividers and may be used for shielding large surfaces such as complete walls
- Withstands up to 30 washes with no loss of performance
- Washable, easy to iron, cut and sew
- Designed and manufactured in Switzerland
- Incredible 99.99% or 40dB shielding at 1000 MHz and 99%+ effective up to 10Ghz
- No chemical or metallic coatings
- Doesn't flake or wear off after washing
- Contains tiny strands of copper plated with silver, woven in with the fabric to create a barrier
- Soft and pleasant to the touch and attractive to the eye
Both of these materials are a proven, efficient solution against electromagnetic, high frequency (HF), and microwave radiation if used properly.
August, who experiences Electromagnetic Sensitivity, recommends that before attempting to use this on your own, it's best to employ the services of a trained and experienced EMF consultant.
They can help you find hot spots for the different types of EMF throughout your home. The best protection is to distance yourself from wireless devices like laptops, WiFi, and your smartphone. We have many easy ways to help at Tech Wellness.

Note:
Although Swiss Shield fabric is a premium quality fabric, it is still important to follow the complete range of safety guidelines which will guarantee that our product will provide you with optimum performance. Fabrics are a custom-cut product and are not returnable.
When the Swiss Shield® fabric is installed, its location, quantity and proper installation should be determined by a trained EMF specialist or EMF consultant. This fabric will reflect Radio Frequency Radiation and improper installation can result in increased exposure. Please review our distributors list for qualified personnel. Please review our Consultants List Of Experts under the RESOURCES TAB>EMF and Addiction Experts
In order to ensure optimum screening performance, the specialist or consultant should assess the living space for Radio Frequency Radiation and AC Electric Fields. Before and after measurements are important to determine the overall effectiveness of the shield. If a specialist is not available in your area then appropriate measuring equipment would be required. Please review our Consultants List Of Experts under the RESOURCES TAB>EMF and Addiction Experts
Unless otherwise indicated, Swiss Shield® fabrics are surface-insulated to allow to for washing without shielding loss. Be cautious with other fabrics that have exposed metal as this material can rub off, become airborne and cause irritation or health effects. When washed, the shielding effectiveness of fabrics with exposed metal will significantly degrade.
We do not recommend grounding the fabric because it is not externally conductive. In the event that a ground is applied to the Swiss Shield® fabric, please consult with your local licensed electrician and comply with local electrical codes. For added protection, a connection to a ground fault protected circuit (GFI) can be used.
Avoid the use of electronic or electrical devices near or under the fabric.
Swiss Shield® fabric is not fire retardant. Use with caution and at your own risk.
Unless otherwise indicated, Swiss Shield® fabric is intended exclusively for indoor use in dry areas.
As with all new textile fabric, ascent may exist. The impact of this scent is dependent on an individual's chemical sensitivity and varies from person to person. This can be resolved by washing the material before installation.
