Where I worked I saw special areas in larger buildings where there were stand alone rooms constructed of wood framing and totally inclosed with copper screening... even the door. It had a "floating" floor inside the screen room, along with work benches, tools, etc.
We could communicate through the screen, air could move freely... we didn't touch the screen... but it probably wouldn't have made any difference... those people inside had books, furniture, etc touching the screen on the inside.... and of course they opened and closed the door as needed.

... and the door had RF weatherstripping on it.
The prohibition on touching the screen was because the oils and salts in one fingerprint would corrode the screen wire, causing a leak.
A finger print on the weatherstripping on the door would also cause a leak.
