Cat Flap Fitter Abram

Cat Flap Fitter Abram Greater Manchester (WN2): An ideal way to improve your cat's independence and boost it's quality of life is to install a cat flap on an outside door or wall of your property in Abram. Cats tend to get grouchy and irritated when continuously kept indoors, and not able to roam. When your beloved cat is allowed instant access to the great outdoors via a cat flap, there is a far better likelihood of it staying both mentally and physically fit and healthy. If you elect to go down the cat flap route, you will then have to decide what kind of cat flap would be best.

A cat flap at its most basic is simply that. A hole is cut into a door and a flexible material is hung over it to give protection from the weather. The vast majority of Abram cat owners would prefer something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an exterior door to their property, although this might be acceptable for a shed door or garden fence panel.

This standard model is still far from perfect since it allows other animals or cats a means by which to get into your house, however it can be somewhat improved upon by adding a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place.

Magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap, are a step up from the magnetic strip variation. This requires your cat to use a collar that's got either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased within it. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it will not be able to trigger the flap and access or leave your home, thus keeping out some unwanted visitors. The point that any other cat in the area that has a similar model of collar could perhaps access your property, is the drawback with this sort of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of these devices as they can be programmed by the cat's owner to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your pet.

The next level in feline entrance security is to consider the kind of cat flap that recognises your pet's own microchip. You have to enter the number of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is powered by batteries), and if you have several cats it will allow multiple entries. The flap will be unfastened when your cat is in close proximity, only permitting entry or exit to animals that have a micro-chip.

Being able to lock it in place is essential no matter what cat flap you're purchasing. Nowadays, nearly all cat flaps on the market have a 4-way locking system for extra flexibility. This allows your cat flap to be fully locked, permit exit from your house only, permit entry into your home only, or have two way exit and entry capability. This will provide you with a number of solutions on precisely how your cat flap functions at all times of the day and night time. The facility to carry out different functions according to the time of day, and based on your cat's and your requirements is also an option with some of the more expensive brands of cat flap.

Fitting a cat flap yourself can be quite easy if you've got a solid timber door on your Abram property, and decent DIY abilities. On no account should you attempt to fit a cat flap in a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door. This kind of installation calls for the attention of a pro, and there are dedicated cat flap fitters and talented handymen who will be happy to undertake such a task.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN ABRAM

Double Glazing Installation - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while trying to install your new cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing door or window panel, immediately send them packing. It's simply not possible to install a new cat flap into a double glazing window pane or door panel. Any type of double glazed unit will be damaged by drilling a hole in it, and will damage its strength, thermal insulation properties and security. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will render the double glazing unsafe.

It is necessary to get a new double glazing pane made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your local Abram cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your existing unit and put in an order for the new one. As a part of its construction this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be fitted neatly into. This might take a week or two to produce, however it's basically the only way to install a cat flap into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door. When your new glass panel shows up, the installer will remove the old one, and swap it for the brand new "cat flap ready" one. The cat flap can then be installed.

External Wooden Doors - The simplest alternative for installing a new cat flap in Abram, as was stated earlier in this article, are timber doors. If you are unsure of creating a hole in your back or front door, it's advisable to call an expert to complete the task for you. This should provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that you will end up with a professionally installed cat friendly flap, and that the project has been carried out in the right and proper way.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be installed with a cat flap. It is necessary to know the interior construction, since some doors have a steel lining for added security. The designs of door with a one-piece panel are the best for installing cat flaps, so if yours has a slatted type door panel, it might be better to swap this for a single pane.

Wall Installation - If, for either security or aesthetic reasons, you do not want to have a hole cut into one of your doors, you could always opt to install the cat flap into an external wall of your house in Abram. This sort of installment is undoubtedly best left to an expert, because it calls for considerably more skill and equipment to accomplish. Nearly all cat flap installations in walls are a basic straight tunnelled style, however right angle access via a pillar is also possible. Installation entails a neat square shaped hole being cut through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, open ended square insert is fitted. Each end of the hole is then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so that your cat can enter and exit the house whenever it desires.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Abram - If your door, window or wall is already fitted with a cat flap, but it has stopped working effectively, or is damaged, it is possible to mount a replacement over the current cavity. Your cat flap fitter will be able to take off the old cat flap, without harming the surrounding window, door or wall, and fit a new flap for your cat.

When your installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, it will be necessary to make sure that this was previously done accurately, before attaching the new flap. The glass pane will have to be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security issues, if you discover this isn't the case and a bodge job was made of the earlier installation.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing Abram

Both outdoor and indoor cats in Abram need their cat flaps to be weatherproofed to ensure their comfort and well-being. A well-weatherproofed cat flap is an effective barrier against the elements that shields cats from chilly draughts, wind and rain, and extreme temperatures. This protective approach not only improves their overall quality of life but also contributes to their safety.

Involving the selection of design features and materials capable of withstanding different climatic conditions, weatherproofing a cat flap is a meticulous process. To prevent rainwater from seeping indoors and ensuring a dry and pleasant environment, top-quality seals around the cat flap edges are vital. Cats' overall contentment and health can be affected by the significant discomfort caused by cold draughts. Felines can be protected from chilling draughts and ensured to remain warm by using insulating materials as part of successful weatherproofing process.

When feline companions venture out into the big wide world, weatherproofing becomes even more crucial for their cat owners. Exposure to strong winds, rain or cold temperatures can harm the health of a cat. A safe and comfortable entrance to the house is offered by a suitably weatherproofed cat flap, which becomes a vital lifeline for them. (42068)
