AFAIK they have to be grounded so it'll be a massive pain to install, even if you can get it printed.

Last I checked there was no consensus on whether or not a Faraday cage needed to be grounded to function properly, which seemed surprising.

Just a typical metal mesh building material can do it. My friend has a house with an accidental Faraday cage like that. 0 bars unless you're near a window, 90% packet loss if you're near a window but not sticking the phone outside. Wifi only works if you're LOS to the access point.
