Glass?

Does homedepot or lowes sell UV protective glass?

Any glass will block UV, but if your are using it for DE MH, then you'll be best with tempered or Pyrex glass, which can withstand the heat.

Are you sure, Rob? If any glass will filter UV, then I would think that the glass case for the DE bulb would filter the UV also, thus eliminating the need for a glass shield.

It's not thick enough.

I thought there was always problems with UV getting through window glass and fading your carpet, upholstery, etc.
Same with leaving stuff under the back window of your car.
That glass is pretty thick.
