Cat Flap Fitter Frampton Cotterell

Cat Flap Fitter Frampton Cotterell Gloucestershire (BS36): An ideal way to give your cat more independence and enrich it's quality of life is to fit a cat flap on an external wall or door of your home in Frampton Cotterell. Just like humans, when kept indoors, cats will typically show signs of frustration and unease. Having a cat that is both mentally and physically fit, is just one of the positive aspects of giving your cat easy access to world outside by way of a cat flap. However, what sort of cat flap is most suitable for your circumstances?

The simplest style of cat flap is essentially that. A sheet of bendable material fixed over a hole in a door to enable a cat to climb through, but keep the elements out. The vast majority of cat owners in Frampton Cotterell would no doubt prefer something a tad more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their house, although this could be acceptable for an outhouse or shed door.

This uncomplicated design is still far from perfect because it allows other creatures or cats a way to enter into your property, but it can be slightly improved upon by adding magnetic strips to hold the flap in position.

Stepping up from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip variations of cat flap. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar boasting an IR, RF chip or magnet. This means that any animal that doesn't have one of these special collars can't get into or leave your home. Again this is a relatively simple form of cat flap, since any other cat in the Frampton Cotterell area that has a similar style of collar might be able to gain access to your house. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some degree with an RF cat flap/collar system containing an owner programmed unique identifier.

A model of cat flap that is capable of identifying your pet's own micro-chip, is the next level in Frampton Cotterell feline entry security. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you have more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. The flap will be unfastened anytime your cat is in close proximity, only allowing access to animals that have a micro-chip.

The ability to lock it in place is essential no matter which cat flap you are buying. Currently, almost all cat flaps on the market have a four way locking system for extra flexibility. Which means that the cat flap can allow exit from your property only, be fully locked, enable only entry into your house, or be set for two way entry and exit. This provides total control over the operation of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night. A few of the high end cat flaps can be programmed to carry out specific functions according to the time of day, based on your pet's and your needs.

Fitting a cat flap by yourself can be fairly easy if you've got a solid timber door on your Frampton Cotterell property, and decent do-it-yourself abilities. However, if it is going to be installed into a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door, you should under no circumstances even attempt to tackle it yourself. Such situations require the expertise and skills of a specialist cat flap installer or carpenter, who will have all the tools and knowledge for this kind of installation.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN FRAMPTON COTTERELL

Double Glazing Installation - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to install your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing door or window panel, immediately send them packing. It isn't possible to mount a new cat flap into a double glazed window pane or door panel. Cutting into any kind of double glazing will damage its strength and security, along with its insulating attributes. It should in no circumstances be attempted and renders the double glazing unsound.

It is necessary to obtain a new double glazing panel made specially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your local Frampton Cotterell cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your existing pane and put in an order for the new one. This new panel will be delivered with a hole pre-cut as an integral part of its construction where the cat flap can be installed. This is really the only way to install a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door, even though it can take two weeks or so to produce. When your new glass pane arrives, the fitter will take out the old one, and swap it for the brand new "cat flap ready" panel. The fitting of the cat flap will then be carried out.

External Wooden Doors - Wooden door panels are, as already mentioned, the simplest options for new cat flap installation in Frampton Cotterell. It is normally wise to contact a professional cat flap fitter or handyman, if you're at all dubious about cutting a big hole in your back or front door. An undertaking like this will not be expensive and will provide you with the satisfaction of knowing that your kitty will be climbing through an expertly installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can normally be installed into uPVC doors. It is necessary to know the interior construction, since some door panels are lined with steel for extra security. The models of door with a one piece panel are the best for installing cat flaps, so if yours has a slatted type panel, it may be advisable to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - If you don't want to cut a hole in your doors, either for aesthetic or safety reasons, you can have a cat flap installed within an external wall. A wall cat flap entrance calls for a bit more expertise and equipment to install, so it's certainly best left to a professional. You could go for a straight-through tunnel design, or maybe a right angle version that allows entry through a pillar. Installation entails a square hole being cut through your wall, into which a plastic or metal, open ended square insert is fitted. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with a cat flap so your feline friend can get out of and into your house whenever it wants.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Frampton Cotterell - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either damaged or not operating properly, the existing hole in your wall, window or door can still be used as long as the new cat flap is of a similar size. A competent cat flap installer in Frampton Cotterell will efficiently remove the unwanted cat flap, and fix a brand new one in its place without harming the door, window or wall.

If the substitute cat flap is going to be mounted into a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, you must make certain that the existing glass has been made and installed correctly. If the previous installation was a bodge up, the glass will have to be removed and substituted to avoid any security and safety issues with the new flap.

Automatic cat flaps provide the simplicity of allowing cats to exit and enter the house without needing manual assistance, even when their owners are out. Also, automatic cat flaps can serve as a barrier against invasive animals or pests, cultivating a more secure and peaceful environment for both people and pets to enjoy.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing

For both indoor and outdoor cats, maintaining comfort and safety relies on effective cat flap weatherproofing. Both the feline and the occupants enjoy a dry and warm environment as a well-weatherproofed cat flap prevents rain, wind and cold draughts from seeping into the house. Cat flaps with superior quality insulating materials and seals form a tight barrier against the elements. To shield the entrance from harsh climatic conditions, you could also consider installing a weatherproof tunnel extension. The cat flap's effectiveness in providing a cosy and weather-protected space for your cat is preserved through routine maintenance, which involves checking seals for wear and tear. (97531)
