A lot of catteries have them installed and its something recommended by FAB when choosing a cattery to reduce FURD.

A sneeze barrier is particularly effective in controlling droplet infection, which is the commonest disease problem in catteries. It provides a barrier between individual units as the resultant airflow lessens the risk of cross-infection.

For sneeze barriers it is preferable to use translucent GRP sheeting or high impact glass or similar, which allows some transmission of light.

i went to a cattery recently which was having them installed. as far as i could tell it was just perspex between cubicles that stopped vapour from a sneeze spreading and could be cleaned with disinfectant. maybe compleeeeetely wrong though....
