Cat Flap Fitter Helmshore

Cat Flap Fitter Helmshore Lancashire (BB4): A great way to give your cat more independence and boost it's overally quality of life is to install a cat flap on an external wall or door of your property in Helmshore. Cats are just like people in many ways, and will frequently show signs of frustration and irritability if kept indoors for significant periods of time. Having a cat that is both mentally and physically fit, is just one of the positive aspects of allowing your furry friend easy access to outside world by way of a cat flap. Obviously, that's not the whole story, because there are many kinds of cat flap, and determining what design is best for your pet might not be so easy.

The simplest style of cat flap is essentially that. A hole in a door with a bendable sheet of material placed over it, to provide protection from the elements, but permit the cat go through. Of course, this is very basic, and won't be sufficient for most cat owners in Helmshore, who would favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their property, although it could be suitable for an outhouse or shed door.

Because this solution can allow other cats or animals to enter your house, it is not at all recommended, although it can be improved on a little by holding the flap in place by adding a magnetic strip.

Stepping up from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap. This requires that your cat wears a collar which has either a magnet, IR or RF chip encased inside it. Therefore any animal without a special collar can't leave or access your property. Once again this is a pretty basic type of cat flap, because any other cat in the area who's got a similar model of collar could perhaps get into your home. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of these devices as they can be programmed by the pet's owner to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your pet.

The next level in feline entrance security is to fit a cat flap which recognises your cat's micro-chip. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you've got more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. The flap will be unfastened whenever your cat is in close proximity, only permitting access to animals that are microchipped.

The ability to lock it in position is vital no matter which cat flap you are buying. Most cat flaps sold today feature a four way locking system. Which means that the cat flap can be locked fully, enable only exit from your home, enable only admittance into your house, or be set for two-way exit and entry. This offers full control over how your cat flap functions both throughout the day and during the night. Some top-end devices can be set to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, based on yours and your pet's requirements.

Putting in a cat flap by yourself can be really simple if you have a solid wood door on your Helmshore home, and respectable DIY abilities. Under no circumstances should you try and install a cat flap in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window. This kind of installation requires the attention of an expert, and there are dedicated cat flap fitters and talented carpenters who'll be ready to accept such a task.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN HELMSHORE

Double Glazing Installations - If you hire someone who endeavours to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to put in your new cat flap, stop them right away and request that they leave. New cat flaps can't be mounted into existing double glazing window or door panels. Cutting or drilling into any type of double glazing will ruin its security and strength, together with its insulation properties. The double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it shouldn't be done in any circumstances.

It will be necessary to obtain a new double glazing pane made especially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Helmshore cat flap installer will take the measurements of your current pane and order a brand new one. This new glazed panel will arrive with a hole pre-cut as a part of its structure where the cat flap will be installed. This might take a week or two to manufacture, however it's the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door. When your new glass pane shows up, the installer will remove the old one, and swap it for the new "cat flap ready" panel. Your cat flap can then be mounted.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Timber doors are, as stated previously, the simplest options for new cat flap installation in Helmshore. If you are a bit nervous about creating an opening in your door, you may be happier hiring an experienced handyman or cat flap fitter instead. This type of undertaking won't be too costly and is really worth doing properly, if getting your cat flap expertly installed provides you with that additional reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - It is quite possible to fit a cat flap into most uPVC doors. Nonetheless, some uPVC door panels are lined with steel for extra security, which can cause some issues. A one-piece panel enables easier installation, so if you have a uPVC door that is slatted, it might be more economical to replace the panel with a single pane type.

Wall Installation - It's also a possibility to have a cat flap mounted in an outside wall of your home in Helmshore, if you do not wish to have a hole cut in one of your doors, either for security or aesthetic reasons. This kind of installation is certainly best left to a professional, because it calls for a lot more skill and equipment to execute. You can go with a straight-through tunnel design, or even a right angle version that enables access via a pillar. Installation entails a square shaped hole being cut through your wall, into which a plastic or metal, square open ended insert is fitted. Both ends of the hole are then installed with an appropriate cat flap so that your cat can enter and exit your home whenever it wants.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Helmshore - If you've already got a cat flap fitted on a window, wall or door, but it's damaged or not working correctly, the existing hole can hopefully still be used for installing a replacement. An expert Helmshore cat flap installer will be glad to remove your old entry device and swap it for a brand new cat flap without causing any damage to the window, door or wall on which it is secured.

Before attaching a new flap in a double glazed panel that has been pre-cut, making sure that the current glass has been manufactured and installed correctly is essential. The glass pane will need to be taken out and substituted to avoid any security and safety issues, if it becomes obvious this is not the case and corners were cut during the original installation.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing

Essential for the comfort and safety of indoor and outdoor cats, cat flap weatherproofing must not be overlooked. Both the feline and the occupants enjoy a warm and dry environment as a properly weatherproofed cat flap prevents draughts, rain and wind from seeping into the house. Look for cat flaps designed with high-quality insulating materials and seals to create a tight barrier against the weather. Installing a weatherproof tunnel extension is an additional consideration to shield the entryway from harsh weather conditions. To maintain the cat flap's effectiveness in providing a cosy and weather-protected space for the cat, routine maintenance is essential, including checking seals for wear and tear. (13579)
