Is Smart Film in a home bathroom really waterproof?
Yes · the InHouse Outdoor Series adds an Aquaris™ weather-resistance layer tested specifically for Thailand's humid/hot conditions · 360° edge sealing · +80% lifespan vs market PDLC baseline in bathroom conditions · clean it with a feather duster or ordinary alcohol · never use glass cleaner
How much does half-pane (zone privacy) save versus a full pane?
It saves 30–50% · for example, a 4 sqm bathroom glass done in full = ~40,000–60,000 THB · the lower half at 2 sqm (eye-level privacy) = ~20,000–30,000 THB · the same privacy level because no one can see in from outside · the top stays clear for natural light
What happens to Smart Film in a power cut?
PDLC Smart Film has a default state = opaque/frosted when there is no power · it needs power to turn clear · so a power cut = the room becomes private automatically · safe · nothing to worry about · it draws just 3W/sqm/hr (a 4 sqm bathroom = 12W = less than an LED bulb)
Can an older home use Smart Film?
Yes, in every case · Smart Film is a retrofit · applied over existing glass (5–19 mm thick) · no demolition · no frame change · the InHouse crew surveys the site free · assesses whether the glass is ready · tells you before you commit if anything needs replacing · key selling point: fully concealed wiring · a finish so seamless it doesn't look like film was installed
How long does installation take in a home?
A detached home of 5–15 sqm = installed in 1 day · including concealed wiring + fitting the switch/remote + testing · a large home or Pool Villa at 20+ sqm = 1–2 days · film stock ready at 10,000+ sqm per model · no pre-order wait
