Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method for constructing a joint between thin flexible sheets of electromagnetic shielding material. The method includes adhering first sides of multiple first sheets of shielding material to a wall and adhering first sides of multiple second sheets of shielding material to second sides of the multiple first sheets of shielding material. A conductive adhesive or a conductive double-sided adhesive tape may be applied to the first side of each of the first sheets of shielding material and the second sheets of shielding material, the first sheets of shielding material may be arranged to abut each other along at least one first seam, and the second sheets of shielding material may be arranged to abut each other along at least one second seam.

Claims (30)

1. A method for constructing a joint between thin flexible sheets of electromagnetic shielding material, comprising:

adhering first sides of multiple first sheets of shielding material to a wall; and

adhering first sides of multiple second sheets of shielding material to second sides of the multiple first sheets of shielding material,

wherein:

a conductive adhesive or a conductive double-sided adhesive tape is applied to the first side of each of the first sheets of shielding material and the second sheets of shielding material,

the first sheets of shielding material are arranged in a row, each first sheet overlapping a portion of an adjacent first sheet along at least one first seam, and

the second sheets of shielding material are arranged in a row, each second sheet overlapping a portion of an adjacent second sheet along at least one second seam,

further comprising:

removing a non-conductive or weakly conductive coating from the second sides of the first sheets of shielding material before adhering the first sides of the multiple second sheets of shielding material,

wherein the non-conductive or weakly conductive coating is a protective film or a foreign substance,

further comprising:

preprocessing a corner of walls by adhering a single sheet of third shielding material thereto before adhering the first sides of the multiple first sheets of shielding material to the wall; and

postprocessing the corner of the walls by adhering a single sheet of fourth shielding material thereto after adhering the first sides of the multiple second sheets of shielding material,

wherein the third shielding material and the fourth shielding material are made of the same material as the first shielding material and the second shielding material.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second sheets are placed to form a predetermined angle with the first sheets such that the at least one first seam forms a predetermined angle with the at least one second seam.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the predetermined angle falls within a range of 90°±10°.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first seam and the second seam are spaced a predetermined distance apart from each other so as to be parallel to each other.

5. A method for constructing a joint between thin flexible sheets of electromagnetic shielding material, comprising:

adhering a first side of a first sheet of shielding material to a wall;

spraying conductive powder to a predetermined area of a first side of a second sheet of shielding material; and

adhering the first side of the second sheet of shielding material to the wall such that the predetermined area, to which the conductive powder is sprayed, overlaps a second side of the first sheet of shielding material,

wherein:

a conductive adhesive or a conductive double-sided adhesive tape is applied to the first side of each of the first sheet of shielding material and the second sheet of shielding material.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the conductive powder is angular powder.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the conductive powder uses one of a polymer, nanocarbon, and a metallic material.

8. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

preprocessing a corner of walls by adhering a single sheet of third shielding material thereto before adhering the first side of the first sheet of shielding material to the wall; and

postprocessing the corner of the walls by adhering a single sheet of fourth shielding material thereto after adhering the first side of the second sheet of shielding material.
