Watch the clip · Smart Film for Pet Cafés + Pet Hotels
The clip explains why modern Pet Cafés choose Smart Film · image, cleanliness and safety, all in one.

- (1)Human/animal zone divider in a Pet Café

- (3)Pet Hotel Premium Suite in hotel style
- (4)Pet Spa/Grooming for privacy
Choose Smart Film Indoor, or Outdoor + Aquaris™ if you clean with chemical solutions often.
4 install spots · Pet Business
1. Pet Café · human/animal zone divider
Smart Partition · switch on-off on demand
A Pet Café has an animal zone (where animals roam freely) alongside a seating zone for guests, so a glass partition with Smart Film divides the middle. Keep it clear during normal hours so guests can watch the animals, and switch it opaque during cleaning or when animals start to get stressed by seeing strangers.
Budget: 8-12 sqm × 8,500 THB ≈ 68,000-102,000 THB
2. Dog Daycare · dog/cat zone divider
Smart Film Indoor · reduces cross-species stress
A daycare houses both dogs and cats that should not see each other directly, so Smart Film divides the zones between species — opaque while animals are in the zone, clear for cleaning after hours. It cuts barking incidents caused by visual stimuli, making staff work easier and animals less stressed.
Budget: 10-15 sqm × 8,500 THB ≈ 85,000-127,500 THB
3. Pet Hotel Suite · Luxury Boarding
Outdoor + Aquaris™ · withstands disinfectant
A premium Pet Hotel offers suites for pets with a glass front, letting owners watch their pet via Live Camera at any time. The glass is clear by default and only turns opaque during rest or cleaning, delivering a UX on par with a human hotel — so owners happily pay the premium rate of 2,000-5,000 THB per night versus just 500-1,000 THB for standard.
Budget: pane 4-6 sqm × 11,000 THB ≈ 44,000-66,000 THB/suite
4. Pet Spa/Grooming · Privacy + Visible
PNLC · clear by default · opaque on demand
Most Pet Spas keep the glass clear because owners like watching the grooming process, turning it opaque only for delicate procedures such as anal-gland expression or nail trims that owners may not want to see. It also reduces the anxiety of animals that see the groomer's tools.
Budget: 6-8 sqm × 9,500 THB ≈ 57,000-76,000 THB
Frequently asked questions · Pet Business
What's the total budget to fit out a mid-size Pet Café?
Example case: an 80 sqm Pet Café + 20 animals — human/animal divider 10 sqm + species divider 8 sqm + Pet Spa Window 4 sqm totals roughly 130,000-180,000 THB · the ROI comes from a better pet-friendly experience, letting you charge higher entry fees and drink prices than a regular café · see the full price table → Smart Film Price 2026
How many rooms make a Pet Hotel Premium Suite worthwhile?
Start with 5-10 premium suites · fit-out budget around 250,000-500,000 THB · a premium rate of about 2,000-5,000 THB per night × 10 suites × 70% occupancy works out to 420,000-1,050,000 THB/month in revenue · ROI is typically under 1 year · and it instantly elevates the brand into a Luxury Pet Hotel that attracts high-end customers.
Does pet fur cling to smart film?
No · the Smart Film surface is smooth, so it doesn't trap fur · maintain it with a daily feather-duster and an alcohol-dampened cloth once a week · compared with curtains or carpets that accumulate fur until they need laundering, Smart Film is far easier to keep clean.
Is it dangerous if an animal jumps into the glass partition?
If you apply Smart Film over ordinary glass, safety depends on the strength of the base glass · we recommend tempered glass at least 8 mm, or Smart Glass Laminated (safety-glass grade) for a Dog Daycare with large dogs · it doesn't shatter into loose shards, keeping both animals and staff safe · see the full build → Smart Glass Tempered Laminated 5-layer build
Can I use Smart Film to open a Pet Café in a luxury mall (Central · EmSphere)?
Yes · Smart Film makes a Pet Café look like a Premium Brand on par with a luxury café · it adds a trust factor for mall management · and makes the mall's permitting process easier · InHouse provides the spec documents and reference images free of charge to support your permit application.
Can it integrate with a Pet Hotel's Live Camera system?
Yes · Smart Film has a schedule auto-tint feature · set the glass clear from 07:00-22:00 (owners can watch their pet via Live Camera on their phone) then opaque from 22:00-07:00 so the pet can rest · boosting both owner trust and a premium UX.
Does a Cat Lounge have a problem with cats getting stressed when they see other cats?
Cats get very stressed when they see unfamiliar cats · use Smart Film to divide the cattery zone visible/hidden · turn it opaque when a new cat arrives, then reveal gradually as the cats get used to one another · this reduces stress and fights between cats · read more on reducing animal stress → Smart Film for the Vet Clinic
With frequent cleaning, does the film withstand disinfectant?
Yes · choose the Outdoor Series + Aquaris™ and it withstands the common disinfectants a pet business uses · you can wipe it down regularly · paired with the cleaning technique in the manual, there's no need to replace it for many years.
