The flavor of IR we're discussing is that measured by the optical
thermometers.
Those typically have a Germanium window on the sensor which cuts off on
the shortwave end around 2 microns. Glass cuts off in the same region
(2-4 microns) on the long end. So, the IR thermometers can not "see"
through glass.
