Cat Flap Fitter Biddulph

Cat Flap Fitter Biddulph Staffordshire (ST8): To provide your cat with the independence that it needs to live a life of contentment, you could fit a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Biddulph house. Cats tend to get crabby and irritated when constantly kept inside, and not allowed to roam free. Giving your pet accessibility to world outside with a cat flap can also help in keeping them mentally and physically fit. But what kind of cat flap is best for your situation?

The most straightforward kind of cat flap, is just that. A hole in a door with a flexible sheet of material fixed over it, to keep the elements out, but allow the cat pass through it. Whilst this could be acceptable in a shed or outhouse door, the vast majority of cat owners in Biddulph would favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their home.

This basic design can be marginally improved on with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position, however it's still far from perfect as it enables other cats or creatures a way to enter your home.

The next step up from the magnetic strip pattern are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. This involves your cat wearing a collar that has either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased within it. This means that any animal that doesn't have a special collar cannot access or leave your house. The point that any other cat in the Biddulph area that's got a similar collar might be able to get into your home, is the drawback with this sort of cat flap. An upgrade to this equipment is an RF cat flap and collar system which provides a unique identifier that can be programmed by the cat's owner.

Fitting a cat flap that can be operated by your cat's own micro-chip, is the next step-up in entry devices for felines in Biddulph. The details of your cat's micro-chip are entered into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries can be made if you've got more than one pet). The flap will be unlocked anytime your cat is nearby, only permitting entry or exit to pets that have a micro-chip.

When you're buying a cat flap, you should make sure that it is of a type that can be locked into position. For added security, most cat flaps boast a four way locking system these days. This means that the cat flap can be locked fully, permit entrance into your premises only, permit only exit from your home, or be set for 2-way exit and entry. This will give you a range of alternatives on how your cat flap operates any time of the day and night time. A few of the higher end models can be programmed to perform specific functions in accordance with the time of day, in keeping with your pet's and your requirements.

If you have a timber door on your home in Biddulph, installing you own cat flap should not be that hard. Not in any circumstances should you try and fit a cat flap in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window. This kind of installation calls for the attention of a professional, and there are dedicated cat flap fitters and talented carpenters who are glad to undertake such work.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN BIDDULPH

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap has to be fitted into a double glazing panel, and your appointed "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the job right away and show them the gate. It's simply not possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazed window pane or door panel. Cutting into any type of double glazing will destroy its strength and security, along with its insulation properties. It should in no circumstances be attempted and renders the double glazing unsafe.

A reputable Biddulph cat flap installer will carefully take the measurements of your current pane and order a ready prepared one from a local glazing supplier. So your cat flap can be perfectly fitted into it, this new glazed panel will be provided with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its structure. This may take two weeks or so to manufacture, but it's basically the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing double glazed or patio door. Once you've acquired your new modified pane of glass, the old one can be removed and the new one fitted. The cat flap will then be fitted.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Wooden door panels are, as we stated earlier, the easiest alternatives for cat flap installation in Biddulph. If you are a bit dubious about making a hole in your front or back door, you may be better off contacting an experienced cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. An undertaking like this should not be expensive and will give you the assurance of knowing that your pet will be using an expertly fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be mounted into uPVC doors in many instances. You or your installer will have to find out what the interior construction of you door actually is, because for extra security certain uPVC doors are made with a reinforced steel lining. The easiest kind of cat flap installation is in doors having one single panel, subsequently if you've got a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it may be cheaper and easier in the long run to replace the slats with a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - It is also a possibility to get a cat flap fitted in an outside wall of your home in Biddulph, if you don't wish to cut holes in your doors, whether for safety or aesthetic reasons. Needing a lot more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap install is certainly best left to a specialist, if it's to be accomplished successfully. You can go for a straight through tunnel style, or maybe a right angle model which allows entry through a pillar. With this sort of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended tube is inserted into a square shaped hole neatly made into your wall. The cat flap you have chosen is then attached at either end to enable your furry pal to enter and exit as it pleases.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Biddulph - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either damaged or not operating correctly, the existing hole in your door, window or wall can be used for a replacement provided that the new flap is of a comparable size. Your cat flap fitter should be able to take off the old cat flap, without harming the window, door or wall, and fit a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

If the substitute cat flap is going to be installed into a pre cut hole in a double glazed panel, you must double check that the existing glass has been cut and installed correctly. If it's found that the previous installation was a bodge up, the pane will have to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety issues with the new flap.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing

Both indoor and outdoor cats in Biddulph need their cat flaps to be weatherproofed to ensure their comfort and well-being. Against the elements, a well-weatherproofed cat flap serves as a crucial barrier that shields cats from rain, chilly draughts and wind, and extreme temperatures. Their overall quality of life is improved by this protective measure, and it also contributes to their safety.

To weatherproof a cat flap effectively, it is essential to choose design features and materials that can endure changing climatic conditions. To ensure a pleasant and dry environment, rainwater must not seep indoors, which requires high-quality seals around the edges of the cat flap. The health and overall contentment of cats can be affected by cold draughts, which can significantly discomfort them. Felines can be protected from cold draughts and ensured to remain warm by using insulating materials as part of successful weatherproofing process. (13579)
