Can You Get Sunburned Through a Window? So can you get sunburned through a window? while glass can provide some protection against UV radiation, it doesn’t eliminate the risk of sunburn entirely. If you have regular float glass windows, UVA radiation can still penetrate, contributing to skin damage. However, with low-E windows or additional protective measures like window coverings, you can significantly reduce your risk of getting sunburned through a window. It’s crucial to be mindful of the intensity of UV radiation, the orientation of your windows, and the time spent near them. Ultimately, maintaining good sun protection habits, both indoors and outdoors, is essential for safeguarding your skin’s health.
