Cat Flap Fitter Brightlingsea

Cat Flap Fitter Brightlingsea Essex (CO7): Installing a cat flap to an exterior wall or door in your Brightlingsea house gives your cat the freedom and independence it needs to live a happy life. Cats which are kept indoors, much like humans, can show signs of irritation. Having easy access to outside world with a cat flap will help your cat to remain fit, both physically and mentally. If this seems like a great idea to you, exactly what kind of cat flap should you go with?

The most fundamental sort of cat flap, is simply that. A hole is cut into an exterior door and a flexible material is hung over it to give some protection from the elements. Of course, this is really basic, and will rarely good enough for most Brightlingsea cat owners, who would favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their house, although it might be acceptable for an outhouse or shed door.

This simple design can be improved upon with magnetic strips to hold the flap in position, but it's still far from perfect since it allows other cats or animals a means by which to enter your home.

Magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip styles of cat flap, are the next step up from the magnetic strip version. This requires your cat to use a collar that's got either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased in it. Unless an animal is fitted with one of these special collars, it will be unable to open the flap and leave or get into your home, thus preventing some unwanted visitors. The reality that any other cat in the Brightlingsea area who's got a similar style of collar can gain access to your home, is the downside with this still fairly basic kind of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of these products as they can be programmed by the user to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your cat.

A model of cat flap that's can be recognised by your pet's own microchip, is the next step-up in Brightlingsea feline entrance security. The microchip number is programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one pet). When your cat is close to the flap, it will unlock and permit only your micro-chipped pets to use the exit/entrance.

Whenever you are buying a cat flap, you should make sure that it's of a design that can be locked into position. The majority of cat flaps sold today boast a four way locking mechanism. This makes it possible for your cat flap to permit only exit from your home, be fully locked, enable admittance into your home only, or have 2-way exit and entrance functionality. This provides full control over the operation of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night time. A few top-end models can be set to perform different functions in accordance with the time of day, in keeping with your cat's and your requirements.

If you're fairly decent at DIY, installing your own cat flap shouldn't be that difficult, if you have a wooden door on your Brightlingsea home. Not in any circumstances should you try to fit a cat flap in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window. These situations call for the skills and expertise of a competent cat flap fitter or carpenter, who'll have all the knowledge and tools for this type of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN BRIGHTLINGSEA

Double Glazing Installation - If your new cat flap has to be fitted into a double glazing panel, and your chosen "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the work immediately and give them their walking orders. A new cat flap can't be mounted into an existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Any type of double glazing will be damaged by drilling or cutting into it, and will damage its security, thermal insulation properties and strength. Your double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it should never be attempted in any circumstances.

An experienced cat flap installer will measure up your current double glazed pane and have a local Brightlingsea glazing firm knock up a new pane. So the cat flap can be neatly installed into it, this new glazed panel will arrive with a hole pre-cut as a part of its structure. You may have to wait a week or so for this to be manufactured, but if you need a cat flap installed into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is basically the only way to accomplish it. Once you have received your new modified glass panel, the old one can be taken out and the new one fitted. The installing of the cat flap will then be carried out.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The simplest alternative for installing a new cat flap in Brightlingsea, as was previously mentioned, are wood door panels. If you're a little uncomfortable with cutting an opening in your back or front door, you might be happier contacting an experienced cat flap fitter or handyman instead. This should provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that you will end up with an expertly installed cat friendly flap, and that the job has been completed properly.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally be fitted into uPVC doors. It pays to know the internal construction, since some uPVC doors are steel lined for added security. The simplest kind of cat flap installation is in doors having one single panel, therefore if you have a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it may be easier and cheaper overall to exchange the slatted pane for a one piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for aesthetic or safety reasons, you do not wish to have a hole cut into a door, you could always decide to install the cat flap into an external wall of your property in Brightlingsea. A wall cat flap entrance requires a little more equipment and expertise to fit, therefore it is definitely best left to a professional. Most cat flap installations in walls involve a simple straight tunnel style, but right angle access via a pillar is also a possibility. A neat square shaped hole will have to be cut through your selected wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. Each end of the hole is then installed with an appropriate cat flap so that your cat can enter and exit the house whenever it wants.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Brightlingsea - If you've already got a cat flap installed on a wall, door or window, but it's damaged or not working properly, the current hole can hopefully still be used for installing a replacement. An expert Brightlingsea cat flap fitter will gladly remove your old entry unit and replace it with a fresh cat flap without inflicting any damage on the window, wall or door on which it is mounted.

When the cat flap installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, it is essential to make sure that this was previously done in the right way, before attaching the new cat flap. If it's found that the previous installation was a bodge job, the glass will need to be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues with the new cat flap.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing Brightlingsea

Cat flap weatherproofing is an essential aspect of ensuring the comfort and well-being of both outdoor and indoor cats. Against the elements, a well-weatherproofed cat flap serves as a crucial barrier that shields cats from rain, wind and chilly draughts, and extreme temperatures. Their overall quality of life is enhanced by this protective approach, and it also contributes to their safety.

Achieving weatherproofing for a cat flap requires the deliberate choice of design characteristics and materials that can withstand varying climatic conditions. Rainwater should not seep indoors to ensure a pleasant and dry environment, and this can be achieved with high-quality seals around the cat flap edges. Cold draughts can affect the health and overall contentment of cats by significantly discomforting them. Successful weatherproofing includes the use of insulating materials that help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, protecting cats from cold draughts and ensuring they remain warm.

Feline companions who venture outdoors require their cat owners to prioritize weatherproofing a cat flap. Cold temperatures, strong winds or rain can all jeopardize a cat's health. A properly weatherproofed cat flap becomes an important lifeline for them, offering a comfortable and safe entrance to the home.

To provide extra protection, a tunnel extension can be installed alongside the cat flap. To minimise the direct impact of adverse weather on the entryway, this extension serves as a buffer zone. It gradually brings the cat from the outdoor environment to the indoor haven by creating a helpful transition space. The installation of this extension, which helps to keep rainwater and debris away from the immediate vicinity of the cat flap, can also help to extend its lifespan.
