Best Answer

Silver is the best (but very expensive), then copper (still pretty expensive) and then aluminum. Heavy duty foil can be used if you double or triple layer it. I have heard you can purchase copper foil, but I don't know where or how much it costs.

Basically a "Faraday cage" is a grounded, metal box. By being grounded radio waves can neither enter nor leave. And because the wavelength of radio waves are relatively long, you can make the cage from metal mesh instead of a solid.
