Hi Jenny,
If you lived in the 'Sunburnt Country' which is Australia, you would know that you can get sunburnt through glass, beach umbrellas and thin t-shirts. Glass does not stop the sun from burning you...in fact, on just the right angle, it concentrates the sunlight. Ever seen a kid burn holes in paper with a magnifying glass? Same effect. 

Greenhouses are designed to let the sun in unfiltered , making a warm steamy environment, while keeping out the wind, rain and predators. If the glass were UV resistant, then the plants would all die! A greenhouse sounds like the perfect place to get a good sunburn.

Love Glenda
