Cat Flap Fitter Haverhill

Cat Flap Fitter Haverhill Suffolk (CB9): Installing a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Haverhill property gives your cat the independence and freedom that it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats are very similar to humans in many ways, and will frequently start to show signs of irritability and frustration if kept inside for significant periods of time. Allowing your pet access to the world outside by means of a cat flap can also help in keeping them mentally and physically fit. So, you think it's a great idea, but exactly what is perfect type of cat flap for your beloved pet?

The most fundamental style of cat flap, is merely that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable sheet of material fixed over it, to keep out the elements, but let the cat pass through. The majority of Haverhill cat owners would no doubt favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their home, although this may be okay for an outhouse door or garden fence panel.

As this option permits other cats or creatures to enter your house, it isn't at all ideal, although it can be improved on a bit by keeping the flap in place by adding a magnetic strip.

Stepping up from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red models of cat flap. With these, either a magnet, IR or RF chip will be fitted into your cat's collar. What this means is that any animal that hasn't got one of these special collars cannot leave or get into your home. The downside here is that any other moggy in the area who has a similar model of collar can still access your house when using this type of cat flap. An upgrade to this product is an RF cat flap/collar system which provides a unique identifier which can be programmed by the pet's owner.

The kind of cat flap that is can be recognised by your pet's microchip, is the next step-up in Haverhill feline access security. The number of your cat's microchip is programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries can be made if you've got more than one pet). Whenever your cat passes close to the flap, it will unlock and allow just your microchipped pets to use the exit/entrance.

Being able to lock it in position is essential no matter what cat flap you are buying. For extra flexibility, the majority of cat flaps boast a 4-way locking mechanism nowadays. Which means that the cat flap can permit exit only, be fully locked, allow admittance into your house only, or be set for two way entry and exit. This gives full control over the functioning of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night. The ability to carry out different functions according to the time of day, and in line with yours and your pet's needs is also a possibility with some of the higher end models of cat flap.

Fitting a cat flap by yourself can be quite straightforward if you've got a solid wood door, and decent do-it-yourself capabilities. But, if you're hoping to fit it in a double glazed window panel or in a reinforced PVC door, you ought to ask for outside assistance. These sorts of fittings call for a professional installation from a dependable cat flap fitter or odd job man with the appropriate skills and equipment.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN HAVERHILL

Double Glazing Installation - If you call in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to install your new cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing window or door panel, immediately send them on their way. New cat flaps cannot be mounted into pre-existing double glazing doors or window panels. Any type of double glazing will be ruined by drilling or cutting into it, and will detract from its strength, security and thermal insulation attributes. Your double glazing will be rendered unsafe, and it should never be attempted under any circumstances.

An experienced cat flap installer will measure the existing double glazed unit and have a local Haverhill glazing company knock up a new purpose made pane. As an integral part of its construction this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be fitted neatly into. You might have a one or two week waiting period for this special pane to be produced, but if it's necessary to have a cat flap installed into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, this is really the only way to do it. As soon as your new panel of glass arrives, the fitter will take out the old unit, and replace it with the new "cat flap ready" pane. It will now be possible to install and set up your new cat flap.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Solid wood door panels are, as I already stated, the simplest options for new cat flap installation in Haverhill. It is generally safer to call on a competent cat flap fitter or handyman, if you're in any way unsure about cutting a hole in your door. This should give you the reassurance that you will finish up with an expertly fitted cat friendly flap, and that the job has been completed correctly.

uPVC Door Panels - It is perfectly possible to install a cat flap into a uPVC door. You or your installer will need to ascertain what the internal structure of you door actually is, because for added security some uPVC doors are manufactured with a steel lining. The easiest kind of cat flap installation is in doors having a single panel, therefore if you have a uPVC door with slatted vertical panels, it may be cheaper and easier in the long run to replace the slatted panel with a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - If, for either aesthetic or safety reasons, you do not want to have a chunk cut out of your door, you could always choose to install the cat flap on an external wall of your property in Haverhill. Calling for far more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap install is definitely best left to a specialist, if it's to be completed correctly. You'll find there are several possibilities for this installation, including a straightforward version, or a right angled (through pillar) adaption. A neat square hole will have to be made through your wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, open ended square tube. A cat flap is then mounted on both sides of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Haverhill - If your door, wall or window already has a cat flap fitted, but it has stopped working effectively, or is damaged, it is perfectly possible to mount a replacement over the existing hole. A decent cat flap installer in Haverhill will be able to remove your old,unwanted cat flap, and fix a new one in its place without causing damage to the surrounding window, wall or door.

When the installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it is necessary to confirm that this was previously done correctly, before attaching the new flap. If it is found that this isn't the case, and the previous owners have cut corners to install their cat flap, the glass must be taken out and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing Haverhill

Cat flap weatherproofing is indispensable in upholding the safety and comfort of outdoor and indoor cats. A cat flap that is correctly weatherproofed prevents rain, wind and cold draughts from seeping into the house, ensuring a dry and warm environment for both the feline and the occupants. Seeking cat flaps with high-quality seals and insulating materials guarantees a tight barrier against the elements. An additional option to shield the entryway from harsh climatic conditions is the installation of a weatherproof tunnel extension. Ensuring the cat flap remains effective in providing a cozy and weather-protected space for the cat requires routine maintenance, including checking seals for damage and deterioration. (13579)
