How is Smart Film better than curtains for a pet cafe · pet hotel?
Better in several ways · (1) Pet-urine resistant — curtains hit by urine keep the odor and need frequent washing · Smart Film's non-porous surface wipes clean with water or alcohol · (2) Moisture resistant — pet zones run very cold with high humidity · Aquaris™ is 360° moisture-resistant and grows no mold · (3) People-animal zone separation — allergy-prone customers can stay in one zone · pet zones go fully opaque while animals rest · (4) Anti-bacterial — reduces buildup of parvo/distemper/FIP

We recommend Performance + Lucida™ for exam · X-ray · surgery rooms — you need medical-level clarity + anti-bacterial · a non-porous surface · wipeable with 70% alcohol · chlorhexidine · quaternary ammonium · reducing MRSA · parvo · distemper · FIP cross-contamination · PETiS Animal Hospital · Kasetsart Vet Clinic use InHouse · Smart Glass Premium tier · Tempered Laminated = anti-shatter, ideal for an exam room where an animal may panic
For a factory clean room, should I use Smart Glass or Film?
We recommend Smart Glass Premium tier · Tempered Laminated for factories · ISO 14644 Class 100/1000/10000 compatible · non-porous surface · sheds no particles · uniform air flow · syncs SCADA · MES · production line · CPF Food Plant · SC Johnson use InHouse · Film works, but Glass suits a long-term factory better
