A method for producing a durable electromagnetic and radio frequency
interference shield between two or more structural members of a wall or
enclosure and a shielded shelter produced using the method. In one
embodiment, joints between structural members are preferably filled with
an electrically conductive filler. A base coat of a metal spray that
adheres well to the filler and structural member is then applied. At
least one layer of a metal spray with magnetic field attenuation
properties such as steel, and at least one layer of a metal spray that
has plane wave attenuation properties such as tin are applied to the base
coat. Optionally, a coat of protective or conductive paint is then
applied to the top surface of the metal spray layers. An enclosure with
shielded joints according to the present invention has superior shielding
capability and durability over the art.
