the signal will go through any type of glass, other than a mirror

so long as light can shine through a little the remote should be fine

Re: Type of Glass for cabinet doors

Any fine frosted glass should do. If in doubt did you know that most digital cameras (still, video or phone) will show up infra red remotes? So take any remote and your phone or camera to a glass supplier and you can check that the IR passes through by pointing your camera at the remote, then again with the glass in the way.
