I'd have to go back and refresh in order to be completely accurate but the simplest way I can put it is that the wavelengths of UVB rays are "simply" too large to fit through the small openings of window screening. It really is as simple as the screen in a microwave oven door. That screen is what prevents microwaves from escaping the unit. Same principle applies to UVB and window screen....
And, unfortunately for reptiles, any amount of UVB that DOES manage to penetrate through window screen is not even as much as the current mercury vapor bulbs can produce.....
