Cat Flap Fitter Broughton

Cat Flap Fitter Broughton Lincolnshire (DN20): The installation of a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your property in Broughton, will enable it to live a happy life and enjoy it's own bit of independence and freedom. Cats tend to get irritated and crabby when constantly kept inside, and not allowed to roam free. Having a cat that's both mentally and physically fit, is just one of the positive aspects of giving your cat easy access to outside world via a cat flap. So, you're sold on the idea, but precisely what is best kind of cat flap for your pet?

The simplest sort of cat flap is basically that. A hole in a door with a bendable sheet of material placed over it, to keep the elements out, but let the cat go through. Whilst this might be suitable in an outhouse or shed door, most Broughton cat owners would no doubt favour something a tad more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their house.

As this solution can allow other animals or cats to enter your property, it's not at all recommended, though it can be improved on to some degree by holding the flap in place by adding magnetic strips.

Stepping up from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip designs of cat flap. With these, either a magnet, RF or IR chip will be sewn into your cat's collar. Unless an animal is equipped with one of these special collars, it won't be able to trigger the flap and get into or leave your house, therefore avoiding some unwanted visitors. Again this is a relatively basic form of cat flap, as any other moggy in the Broughton area who's got a similar model of collar could perchance gain access to your home. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to a certain extent with an RF cat flap/collar system providing an owner programmed unique identifier.

Fitting a cat flap that can identify your cat's own micro-chip, is the next level in entry security for felines in Broughton. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you've got several cats), to give exclusive access. The flap is unlocked when your cat is nearby, only allowing entry or exit to animals that have a micro-chip.

Whatever cat flap you purchase, it should be capable of being locked in place. For added flexibility, nearly all cat flaps feature a four way locking system nowadays. This means that the cat flap can permit access into your property only, enable exit from your house only, be locked fully, or be set for two-way exit and entry. This provides total control over the functioning of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night time. The ability to perform different functions according to the time of day, and in line with yours and your cat's needs is also a possibility with some of the higher end brands of cat flap.

If you're pretty decent at do-it-yourself, putting in a cat flap shouldn't be too much of a challenge, as long as you have a solid timber door on your property in Broughton. Not in any circumstances should you attempt to install a cat flap in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door. These situations call for the expertise and skills of an experienced cat flap fitter or handyman, who is sure to have have the knowledge and equipment for this kind of installation project.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN BROUGHTON

Double Glazing Installations - If your cat flap has to be mounted on a double glazed panel, and your appointed "tradesman" attempts to drill a hole in it, stop the job right away and give them their walking orders. New cat flaps cannot be mounted into existing double glazing window or door panels. Any type of double glazed unit will be damaged by cutting into it, and will damage its thermal properties, strength and security. The double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it shouldn't be done in any circumstances whatsoever.

An experienced cat flap fitter will measure up the existing double glazed pane and have a local glazing company make a new purpose made one. As a part of its structure this new glazed panel will have a hole pre-cut, which your cat flap can be fitted neatly into. This can take one or two weeks to produce, but it's the only way to fit a cat flap into an existing double glazed or patio door. After construction, your old glass unit can be removed, and the new modified one put in its place. The installation of your cat flap can then be carried out.

Exterior Wooden Doors - As mentioned previously, solid wood doors are the simplest alternative when it comes to installing a new cat flap on your house in Broughton. It is often wise to get in touch with a competent handyman or cat flap fitter, if you are unsure of cutting a hole in your front door. This sort of task won't be all that expensive and is really worth doing properly, if getting your cat flap installed by a professional gives you that added reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - It's quite possible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. Having said that, some uPVC door panels have got a steel lining for extra security, which can cause some problems. A one-piece panel enables simpler installation, so if you've got a slatted uPVC door, it might be more cost effective to swap the panel for a single pane style.

Wall Installation - If, for either aesthetic or security reasons, you do not want to have a chunk cut out of your door, you could elect to install the cat flap in an exterior wall of your house in Broughton. A wall cat flap entrance calls for considerably more equipment and expertise to fit, therefore it's certainly better left to a professional. Nearly all cat flap installations in walls are a basic straight tunnelled style, but right angled access through a pillar is also a possibility. This installation involves a neat square hole being cut through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, open ended square tube is inserted. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so that your furry pal can exit and enter your house whenever it wants.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Broughton - If you've already got a cat flap fitted on your wall, window or door, but it is broken or not working properly, the current hole can hopefully still be used for installing a replacement. A reliable cat flap installer in Broughton will be able to remove the unwanted cat flap, and mount a brand new one in its place without causing damage to the wall, door or window.

When the cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, it is important to make sure that this was previously done in the right way, before attaching the new flap. The glass panel will have to be removed and exchanged to avoid any safety and security issues, if it becomes obvious this isn't the case and corners were cut during the earlier installation.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing Broughton

Both indoor and outdoor cats need their cat flaps to be weatherproofed to ensure their well-being and comfort. A well-weatherproofed cat flap serves as a crucial barrier against the elements, shielding cats from rain, cold draughts and wind, and extreme temperatures. This protective approach has both an impact on their safety and their overall quality of life.

To weatherproof a cat flap effectively, it is essential to choose materials and design features that can endure changing climatic conditions. Top-quality seals around the edges of the cat flap are essential to prevent rainwater from seeping indoors, which will ensure a dry environment. Cats can be seriously discomforted by cold draughts, which can affect their overall contentment and health. Effective weatherproofing includes the use of insulating materials that help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, protecting cats from chilling draughts and ensuring they remain warm. (13579)
