The BBB is (sorta) specific about this. Actually it's downright
confusing at times, but humor me for a moment.

Quote, p. 145 BBB
"Inanimate objects are visible because of reflected light, and
block the passage of magical energy and emotions, two primary
elements of the astral form, or aura. Because such objects block the
flow of the aura, astral beings cannot assence through them. These
objects possess no aura or astral form of thier own, however, and
so astral beings can freely pass through the astral position
corresponding to the object's physical space. In astral space, one
cannotsee or assence through a wall, though it is a simple matter to
right through it. Transparent objects retain that quality, however."

Reality is nothing but a refuge for those who can't handle role-playing.
