I can confirm what John wrote, as far as UV penetration. I took the
manufacturer's specs that John read to me for the plexiglas Skyport
sold ("0 transmissibility at [specified] wavelengths") and ran them
by a friend whose degree was optical physics. He said they
translated to "no sunburn," and that has proven true whenever flying
with windows closed. (And with freckles, I'd get burned in 5 min.
flat in SoCal, if it weren't accurate!)

Just FYI, aircraft Plexiglas blocks most UV radiation even in clear.
Don't
know about the Home Depot stuff, though.
