I heard somewhere that a thick piece of glass blocks infrared. I took a picture of my hand behind a piece of glass with an IR camera and it wasn't there!
IF i ever had a high powered ir laser i would definantly get some goggles and even if u tried using the glass how would you like holding a thick sheet of glass a laser in one hand and trying to steady a balloon with the other.
But it might block it because black plastic blocks visible light yet infaraed goes through it easy, so maybe the oposite would work to like clear blocks infared.
Don't count on glass blocking regular near-IR/IR diodes/DPSS. What you were reading was referring to 10,600nm CO2 lasers. At that long wavelength, glass is opaque.
