Cat Flap Fitter Brockworth

Cat Flap Fitter Brockworth Gloucestershire (GL3): Installing a cat flap doesn't just save you the bother of having to open the door every time your cat decides to stroll in or out, it also affords your cat more independence and enhances it's all round quality of life. When continuously kept indoors, cats much like humans, will get grumpy and irritated. Having a cat that's both mentally and physically fit, is just one of the positive aspects of allowing your pet easy access to world outside via a cat flap. So, you think it's a great idea, but what is best style of cat flap for your beloved pet?

The most rudimentry sort of cat flap is basically that. A hole is cut in an external door and a flexible material is placed over the gap to offer a bit of some protection from the elements. Of course, this is really basic, and won't be adequate for most cat owners in Brockworth, who would favour something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their property, although it might be appropriate for a shed or outhouse door.

This standard design is still a long way off being perfect as it allows other creatures or cats to enter into your property, however it can be somewhat improved upon with the addition of a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red models of cat flap, are a significant step up from the magnetic strip version. This requires that your cat wears a collar that has either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased within it. What this means is that any animal without one of these special collars cannot get into or leave your property. The downside here is that any other moggy in the area who has a similar style of collar may be able to gain access to your property when using this sort of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of these devices because they can be programmed by the owner of the cat to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your pet. Access is limited to your purrfect companion alone, delivering an extra layer of security and control.

The next stage in feline entry security is to install a cat flap which identifies your cat's own microchip. You have to enter the number of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is powered by batteries), and if you have several cats it will allow multiple entries. The flap will be unfastened when your cat is in close proximity, only permitting exit or entry to pets that have a microchip.

The ability to lock it in position is essential no matter which cat flap you are purchasing. Currently, the majority of cat flaps available on the market feature a four way locking mechanism for added flexibility. Which means that the cat flap can permit exit only, allow admittance into your home only, be fully locked, or be set for two way entry and exit. This will give you alternatives for all times of night and day, to have control over exactly how your cat flap works. The facility to perform particular functions in accordance with the time of day, and in keeping with yours and your pet's requirements is also an option with some of the higher end models of cat flap.

If you are pretty decent at DIY, putting in your own cat flap shouldn't be that difficult, if you have a timber door on your Brockworth home. However, if it needs to be fitted in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you shouldn't even attempt it by yourself. Such situations call for the skills and expertise of a specialist cat flap fitter or carpenter, who'll have all the equipment and knowledge for this kind of installation project.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN BROCKWORTH

Double Glazing Installations - If your cat flap needs to be installed in a double glazed door or window panel, and your appointed "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the job immediately and show them the gate. It's simply not possible to install a new cat flap into a double glazing door panel or window pane. Drilling holes in any kind of double glazing will ruin its security and strength, along with its insulating properties. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will make your double glazing unsound.

A professional cat flap fitter will measure up your current double glazed unit and have a glazing firm knock up a new purpose made pane. To ensure that the cat flap can be nicely fitted into it, this new double glazing pane will arrive with a hole pre-cut as a part of its construction. This can take a week or so to manufacture, however it's basically the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door. Once you have obtained your new panel of glass, the old one can be taken out and the new pane fitted. The installing of your cat flap will then be undertaken.

External Wooden Doors - Wooden door panels are, as we already stated, the easiest options for new cat flap installation in Brockworth. If you are a bit unsure about cutting a sizeable hole in your door, you may be happier hiring a specialist cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. This will provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that you will finish up with an expertly installed cat flap, and that the project has been completed correctly and without causing damage to your door.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be installed with a cat flap. Having said that, certain uPVC doors have a steel lining for additional security, which could cause issues. A one-piece door panel enables simpler installation, so if you have a slatted uPVC door, it may be cheaper to replace the panel with a single panel model.

Wall Installation - If you don't really wish to have a hole cut in your doors, either for aesthetic or safety reasons, you can opt for a cat flap to be installed within an external wall. This kind of installment is certainly better left to a professional, because it calls for considerably more skill and equipment to execute. You will find there are several choices for this kind of installation, including a straight through tunnel version, or a right angle (through pillar) adaption. Installation involves a neat square hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, open ended square tube is inserted. A suitable cat flap is then installed on each end of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Brockworth - If you already have a cat flap fitted on a wall, window or door, but it's damaged or not working properly, the existing hole can, with a little luck, be re-used for installing a replacement. A specialist Brockworth cat flap installer will be happy to take out your old unit and replace it with a brand new cat flap without inflicting any damage on the door, wall or window on which it's attached.

When your installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it is essential to confirm that this was previously done in the right way, before attaching the new flap. The glass panel will need to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security problems, if you discover this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the earlier installation.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing

For both outdoor and indoor cats, maintaining safety and comfort relies on effective cat flap weatherproofing. A warm and dry environment for both the feline and the occupants is achieved by a properly weatherproofed cat flap, preventing wind, cold draughts and rain from seeping into the house. Designed with high-quality seals and insulating materials, cat flaps create a tight barrier against the elements. An extra option to shield the entrance from harsh weather conditions is the installation of a weatherproof tunnel extension. Cat owners must prioritize routine maintenance, such as checking seals for deterioration, to keep the cat flap effective in providing a weather-protected and cozy space for your furry companion.
