Staff raise water intrusion and clouding concerns for glass/film options
Summary
Staff cautioned that exterior film or glass treatments can allow water intrusion and temporary clouding of laminate; they said the laminate would hold but visual clouding can persist until repair.
Presenters warned that exterior-applied film or glass can allow water to collect and sometimes cause visual clouding until fixed, which could affect aesthetics and sight lines in affected spaces. They said that even if water gets in, the laminate would generally remain intact but could appear clouded during the repair period.
As the Presenter put it, "let's just say that the water does get in there, it would be clouded during that temporary time of being fixed." Staff said that possibility must be weighed against the immediate privacy that frosted glass affords and factored into maintenance planning.
