Chicken wire on the walls and a reflective tint on the windows. Simple but effective. Coming from a former cellular engineer. Just staple the chicken

Yhea, that seems to be the basis of the best advice... in effect turn your place into a
faraday
cage, although there will be 2 considerations so far as chicken wire goes - 1) You have to earth the faraday cage (the chicken wire) in some
way - not hard, wire it to your plumbing is easiest. 2)
BIG CONSIDERATION!! the 'holes' in your faraday cage have to be smaller than the
wavelength of the microwave radiation your are looking to block...
I'm gonna have a bash at the numbers for you - I'm gonna guess your in the UK, and I know that the two bands used in the UK are 900Mhz and 1800Mhz,
so the smaller wave length would be 1800 Mhz
Aparently wavelength = 300 / frequency in MHz, so for 1800Mhz that would be 300/1800=0.166.... or 16 centimeters.
Now all chicken wire is less than 16 cm, but you have to consider your doors and windows and catflaps and your ROOF and if your in a flat your FLOOR!!
and you will also have to put up with no reception, and even then are you sure you got it all?
and you still have to enter and leave your
home.
BTW I worked 2+ years meters away from one of those things and I have never felt worse
Simple answer >> build a time machine and live 100 years ago.
