Does common windows block uv light

(1/1)

shvcko99:
Does most glass (transparent one) normally used to make windows already block uv light partly or totally or do we have to ask for specific glass?

Borek:
Try googling for "uv blocking properties of common glass".

Enthalpy:
It depends on the undesired UV wavelength.

For instance, ordinary car glass lets the longest-wavelength UV pass, but blocks enough of the spectrum to avoid Sun burns. I tried in Guyana, so that's safe science.
