Cat Flap Fitter Barton-upon-Humber

Cat Flap Fitter Barton-upon-Humber Lincolnshire (DN18): Fitting a cat flap to an external door or wall in your Barton-upon-Humber house gives your cat the freedom and independence it needs to live a happy life. Cats are just like humans in a lot of ways, and will often show signs of frustration and irritability if kept inside for long periods of time without a break. When your beloved cat is granted instant access to the world outside via a cat flap, there's a better chance of it staying both mentally and physically fit and healthy. If this seems like a good idea to you, what type of cat flap should you fit?

The most rudimentry style of cat flap is essentially that. A sheet of bendable material hung over a hole in a doorway to enable a cat to pass through, but keep out the elements. The majority of cat owners in Barton-upon-Humber would favour something a little more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their property, although this might be appropriate for a fence panel or shed door.

As this option will allow other animals or cats to enter your property, it is not at all recommended, though it can be enhanced to some degree by holding the flap in place with the addition of magnetic strips.

The next step up from the magnetic strip model are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With these, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be enclosed in your cat's collar. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it won't be able to open the flap and get into or leave your property, hence keeping out some undesirable visitors. The reality that any other cat in the neighbourhood that has a similar collar will be able to gain access to your house, is the drawback with this type of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some degree with an RF cat flap/collar system providing a user programmed unique identifier.

A model of cat flap which is able to identify your pet's microchip, is the next level in Barton-upon-Humber feline access security. The micro-chip details are entered into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you've got several cats). Whenever your cat is in close proximity to the flap, it will unlock and allow just your microchipped pets to enter/exit.

No matter what cat flap you purchase, it must be capable of being locked in place. These days, nearly all cat flaps on the market have a 4-way locking mechanism for extra security. Which means that the cat flap can enable only admittance into your premises, be fully locked, allow only exit from your home, or be set for 2-way entry and exit. This will give you alternatives for all times of night and day, to have control over precisely how your cat flap operates. Some of the more expensive models can be set to carry out particular functions in accordance with the time of day, based on your pet's and your needs.

If you've got a wooden door in your home in Barton-upon-Humber, fitting you own cat flap shouldn't be all that complicated. Not in any circumstances should you try to fit a cat flap in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door. Such situations require the expertise and skills of a specialist cat flap installer or odd job man, who will have the tools and knowledge for this kind of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN BARTON-UPON-HUMBER

Double Glazing Installations - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to install your new cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel, immediately send them on their way. A new cat flap can't be fitted into an existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Any type of double glazed unit will be ruined by cutting into it, and will diminish its thermal insulation properties, strength and security. The double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it shouldn't be done under any circumstances whatsoever.

It will be necessary to get a new double glazing panel made specially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your chosen Barton-upon-Humber cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your existing unit and order the new one. As part of its construction this new glazed pane will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be installed perfectly into. You might have a one or two week wait for this to be made, but if it's necessary to have a cat flap fitted into an existing patio or double glazed door, this is basically the only way to do it. Once your new panel of glass arrives, the installer will take out the old unit, and exchange it for the brand new "cat flap ready" one. It will now be possible to install the new cat flap.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The most straightforward option for cat flap installations in Barton-upon-Humber, as was previously mentioned, are solid wood doors. If you are hesitant about creating a hole in your front or back door, it's advisable to call a professional to undertake the project for you. This kind of undertaking will not be all that expensive and is worthwhile doing properly, if having your cat flap professionally installed offers you that additional reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be fitted into uPVC doors in most instances. It pays to know the interior construction, because some door panels can have a steel lining for additional security. The models of door with a one-piece panel are the simplest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has got a slatted type door panel, it may be easier to replace this with a single pane.

Wall Installation - If you don't wish to have a hole cut into your doors, either for aesthetic or safety reasons, you could have a cat flap installed within an exterior wall. Calling for much more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap installment is certainly best left to a specialist, if it's to be completed correctly. You can opt for a straightforward tunnel style, or even a right angle version which allows entry through a pillar. With this sort of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted into a square shaped hole neatly made into your specified wall. Both ends of the hole are then installed with a cat flap so your furry pal can get in and out of your home whenever it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Barton-upon-Humber - If you've already got a cat flap fitted on a wall, window or door, but it's broken or not functioning correctly, the current hole can, with a little luck, be re-used for the installation of a new one. Your cat flap fitter will take off the old cat flap, without causing damage to the surrounding wall, window or door, and install a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

Before installing the new cat flap in a double glazing panel that has been previously pre-cut, making sure that the current glass has been made and installed correctly is crucial. If corners were cut with the previous installation, the panel must be taken out and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues with the new flap.

Cat flap weatherproofing is an essential aspect of ensuring the comfort and well-being of both indoor and outdoor cats. Against the elements, a well-weatherproofed cat flap serves as a crucial barrier that shields cats from wind, rain and cold draughts, and extreme temperatures. This protective strategy has the dual benefit of improving their overall quality of life and contributing to their safety.

Top-quality seals around the cat flap edges are crucial to prevent rainwater from seeping indoors, ensuring that the environment is pleasant and dry.
