INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN BEESTON

Double Glazing Installation - If you bring in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to install your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel, immediately send them on their way. New cat flaps can not be installed into existing double glazed doors or window panels. Any sort of double glazing will be ruined by drilling or cutting into it, and will damage its strength, security and thermal insulation properties. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will make the double glazing unsafe.

A professional cat flap fitter will measure your current double glazing pane and have a local glazing firm make a new pane. As part of its construction this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be fitted snugly into. This is basically the only way to install a cat flap in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, even though it can take a week or so to produce. Once your new pane of glass is delivered, the installer will remove the old one, and replace it with the brand new "cat flap ready" one. Your cat flap will then be installed.

uPVC Door Panels - It is perfectly possible to install a cat flap into most uPVC doors. It is necessary to know the internal construction, since some door panels are lined with steel for further security. A one-piece panel allows for simpler installation, so if you have a slatted uPVC door, it might be more economical to replace the panel with a single panel type.

Wall Installation - If you don't want to have a hole cut into your doors, for aesthetic or safety reasons, you could have a cat flap installed in an outside wall. This form of installation is definitely better left to the pros, as it calls for considerably more skill and equipment to execute. You could go with a straightforward tunnel style, or maybe a right angled model which permits entry via a pillar. A neat square shaped hole will need to be made through your wall, into which is inserted a metal or plastic, square open ended tube. A cat flap can then be mounted on each side of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Beeston - If your window, door or wall is already fitted with a cat flap, but it has stopped working, or is damaged, it's quite possible to fit a replacement into the current cavity. A specialist Beeston cat flap installer will be glad to remove your old unit and replace it with a new cat flap without causing any damage to the window, wall or door on which it's mounted.

When your installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, it is essential to confirm that this was previously done accurately, before fitting the new cat flap. If it's found this isn't the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass must be removed and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety issues.
