No, it does not. UV is absorbed by almost all organic compounds and inorganic too on Earth (soil has a lot of if). The only exception is snow. Snow reflects UV, as result you can get sun burn even in Alaska in winter. But even if it get reflected, it will not penetrate through windows glass. Usual glass absorbs (all of it), that's why you cannot get tint even if you are looking at the sun through your window. Only quarts does not absorb UV, it's used in so called "sun bath It's when you in the room with quartz celling and walls getting your tint.
