and it is harder for phone signals to penetrate the more energy-efficient materials in new buildings.

Is that so? Which material is that supposed to be? Neither styrofoam nor rock wool does anything to them. Bricks, on the other hand, do, just like concrete.

Celetex baords are foil lined which might not be great for signal. Though I think an old flint wall would be worse.

Ah yes, with aluminium, that is not going to help indeed.
