Is metal siding harmful to health?

I would also like to learn more about the materials that surround me, my family, what we use in construction and what surrounds us in our daily lives. Metal siding and profiled sheeting are decent materials, these materials have a lot of advantages (rigidity, durability, non-combustible mat, environmentally friendly material ..... But there are disadvantages (thermal conductivity, corrosion, fire resistance (yes, yes). I always try to understand where, when, how much and what material to use in a particular construction, and in everyday life. Ignorance costs us dearly in life. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. There is no perfect material, and it is necessary to use them wisely, complementing each other. Metal siding has a nuance, under certain natural influences (wind, rain, hail) – noise (human nervous system). And it is a disadvantage, but you can live with it. Noise insulation is necessary! This is my opinion. All wisely and without fanaticism!

Metal is not good! Even with a solid profiled sheet fence, there is sound vibration in the wind, which is bad for the human body and the surrounding flora and fauna. And about the house, lined with metal (enclosed space 60-80%) all the more so. I will not talk about electromagnetic vibrations, but sound vibrations, FACT! The reflected sound wave (vibration) should be absorbed by the wall material, not resonate and kill the nervous system of all life. Sound waves (vibrations) are a serious problem in residential construction.

In my experience of being in a house clad in metal siding, no shielding is noticeable there: cell phones and indoor TV antennas work, and I strongly suspect it's the windows, which are in every room.

By the way, stone walls are also quite good at shielding, reflecting radio waves, but for some reason these questions are not asked.

I have a house with metal siding. The quality of communication is the same as it was. I don't see any loss. The housing is fine. My child gets A's in school. Conclusion – metal siding is not harmful.

Why do you think shielding is bad! Shielding of what occurs in a volume surrounded by metal?

In the case of a room lined with metal, there is certainly shielding of the inside of the room from outside radio waves. That is, radio signals from radio and TV stations, cellular stations, signals from various special services, etc. are less likely to penetrate inside. This is observed, as you say, in stores clad with metal siding.

But a similar effect, as mentioned above, occurs in homes made of any material. Somewhere more, somewhere less.

So it is not the shielding that you have to fear, but the lack of it.

Nowadays, when all sorts of radiation coming from everywhere in many different bands, and some people even make hats out of foil, and immediately on both heads, shielded house, clad with metal (durable, does not require frequent maintenance as wood, not stink like vinyl siding in the sun) gives only one advantage!

By the way the bedroom is better to make a super insulated from everything: noise, radiation, equipped with better ventilation and wellness is a good dream and the conditions for it are important for the recovery and health of man!

House clad with metal siding. In 6 years, no problems revealed. Cellular excellent, TV antenna (indoor) receives a signal with confidence, no headaches, no dizziness. No noise from the wind. So I do not see any danger in this material.
