Essentially, a cat flap at its most fundamental is just that. A hole in a door with a bendable piece of material fixed over it, to provide protection from the elements, but permit the cat go through. Naturally, this is really basic, and won't be adequate for most cat owners in Broadstairs, who would no doubt favour something a little more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their property, although it may be appropriate for an outhouse or shed door.

This basic model is still far from ideal because it allows other creatures or cats a means by which to enter into your house, but it can be marginally improved on by adding magnetic strips to keep the flap in position.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip styles of cat flap, are the next step up from the magnetic strip version. This requires that your cat wears a collar which has either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased within it. No animal is going to be able to leave or get into your property unless it's equipped with one of these special collars. Again this is a fairly basic kind of cat flap, because any other moggy in the Broadstairs area who has a similar model of collar can get into your house. An upgrade to this product is a RF cat flap and collar system which features a unique identifier which can be programmed by the cat's owner. Providing an extra layer of security and control, this makes sure that only your purrfect companion gets access.

The kind of cat flap that is can be triggered by your cat's own microchip, is the next step-up in feline entry security. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip numbers (if you have several cats), to provide exclusive access. Whenever your cat passes close to the flap, it will unlock and allow just your micro-chipped pets to use the exit/entrance.

Being able to lock it in position is vital whichever cat flap you are purchasing. These days, nearly all cat flaps available on the market feature a four way locking system for added flexibility. Which means that the cat flap can allow only admittance into your home, be locked fully, permit exit only, or be set for 2-way exit and entry. This will give you choices for all times of night and day, to have control over exactly how your cat flap works. The facility to perform particular functions according to the time of day, and in line with yours and your pet's requirements is also an option with some of the top-end brands of cat flap.

Fitting a cat flap on your own can be fairly straightforward if you've got a solid timber door on your Broadstairs property, and reasonable DIY skills. But, if you're planning to install it in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door, you should ask for outside help. This sort of installation requires the attention of a professional, and there are specialist cat flap installers and skilled handymen who will be ready to accept such work.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN BROADSTAIRS

Double Glazing Installations - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to install your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazing window or door panel, immediately send them packing. A new cat flap can't be installed into a pre-existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Cutting or drilling into any kind of double glazing will damage its strength and security, as well as its insulation attributes. The double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it should never be attempted in any circumstances.

It is necessary to obtain a new double glazing panel made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Broadstairs cat flap installer will measure your existing pane and order a brand new one. This new pane will arrive with a hole pre-cut as a part of its structure where your cat flap can be installed. This is really the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing double glazed or patio door, even though it can take a week or so to manufacture. After fabrication, your old glass pane will be removed, and the new one put in. It's now possible to install the new cat flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It's perfectly feasible to fit a cat flap into most uPVC doors. You'll need to establish what the interior structure of you door is, because for added security certain uPVC door panels are manufactured with a steel lining. The designs of door with a one piece panel are the easiest for cat flap installation, so if yours has a slatted type door panel, it may be advisable to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - If, for security or aesthetic reasons, you don't want to have a chunk cut out of a door, you could choose to install a cat flap into an outside wall of your house. This kind of installation is undoubtedly better left to an expert, because it requires a lot more equipment and skill to accomplish. The majority of cat flap installations in walls are a basic straight tunnel style, however right angular access through a pillar is also a possibility. With this sort of installation a plastic or metal, square open ended insert is fitted into a square shaped hole neatly cut out of your selected wall. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with a cat flap so your feline friend can enter and exit your home whenever it wishes.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Broadstairs - If your wall, door or window is already fitted with a cat flap, but it isn't working properly, or is damaged, it is perfectly possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. A reputable cat flap fitter in Broadstairs will efficiently remove the old cat flap, and mount a new one as a replacement without harming the surrounding door, wall or window.

When the cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, it is important to confirm that this was previously done in the right way, before fixing the new cat flap. If it is found that this is not the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass panel will need to be removed and replaced to avoid any security and safety issues.

THE CONVENIENCE OF CAT FLAPS

For cats and their owners alike, cat flaps present a multitude of advantages:

  1. Better Control: For enhanced control, some advanced cat flaps can be programmed and synchronised with your cat's microchip or a special collar tag, ensuring that only your cat has the ability to use the flap, thereby regulating their comings and goings.
  2. Reduced Litter Box Odours: By allowing your cat to go outside to relieve themselves, you could see a decrease in litter box usage, potentially leading to fewer cleanings and a reduction in sells in your home.
  3. Enhanced Security: Many cat flaps are equipped with locking mechanisms that can be set to allow entry only to specific cats or to keep unwanted visitors out. This feature enhances home security by preventing the entry of stray animals or potential threats.
  4. Convenience for Owners: The necessity for owners to pause their daily routines to allow their cats exit or entry is eliminated. This proves especially advantageous for those with busy lives or irregular timetables.
  5. Reduced Door Scratching: Worried about your door becoming a scratching post? Frustration from waiting can lead to destructive scratching near entry points. Cat flaps offer an alternative access solution, potentially putting a stop to this undesired behaviour.
  6. Independence for Cats: By allowing access to the outdoors, exercise, and a means to satisfy their innate curiosity, cat flaps cater to the independent nature of cats, boosting their happiness and improving their health.
  7. Reduced Stress: The installation of a cat flap means you no longer have to constantly monitor and open the door for your cat, easing stress for both of you, as your pet can leave and return without needing your aid.

Maintaining the safety and comfort of indoor and outdoor cats, cat flap weatherproofing is vital. A warm and dry environment for both the feline and the occupants is ensured by a well-weatherproofed cat flap, preventing draughts, rain and wind from seeping into the house. Cat flaps with superior quality insulating materials and seals form a tight barrier against the weather. Also, consider installing a weatherproof tunnel extension to shield the entrance from harsh climatic conditions. The cat flap's effectiveness in providing a comfortable and weather-protected space for the cat is preserved through routine maintenance, which involves checking seals for deterioration.
