Cat Flap Fitter Hessle

Cat Flap Fitter Hessle East Yorkshire (HU13): Installing a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your Hessle property gives your cat the independence it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats are just like people in many ways, and will likely start to show signs of irritability and frustration if kept indoors for lengthy periods of time. When your precious cat is permitted easy access to the great outdoors by way of a cat flap, there's a far better chance of it staying both physically and mentally fit. If this seems like a good option for you, exactly what kind of cat flap should you choose?

The most straightforward kind of cat flap, is merely that. A hole is cut in an outside door and a flexible material is fixed over the gap to offer a bit of protection from the elements. Although this may be suitable in a fence panel or shed door, most cat owners in Hessle would favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their property.

This basic design can be improved on with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position, however it's still far from perfect because it allows other creatures or cats to enter your house.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red styles of cat flap, are a significant step up from the magnetic strip version. This requires your cat to use a collar that's got either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased inside it. Therefore any animal that doesn't have one of these special collars cannot get into or leave your property. The reality that any other moggy in the neighbourhood that's got a similar collar can still gain access to your home, is the drawback with this type of cat flap. An enhancement to this equipment is a RF cat flap/collar system which offers a unique identifier which can be programmed by the cat's owner. This makes sure that only your feline friend gains access, providing an added layer of security and control.

The kind of cat flap which is capable of identifying your cat's microchip, is the next level in feline access security. The number of your cat's micro-chip is programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one pet). Exit and entry are only possible for micro-chipped pets, and the flap will be unfastened when you cat is close by.

Being able to lock it in position is important regardless of what cat flap you are buying. Most cat flaps sold these days feature a four way locking mechanism. This means that it's got the capability to permit only exit from your home, be locked fully, enable entry into your property only, or be put in 2-way exit and entry mode. This provides complete control over the functioning of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night. In line with your pet's and your needs, there's even the possibility to perform particular functions according to the time of day, with several of the higher end models.

If you've got a wood door on your home in Hessle, putting in a cat flap yourself shouldn't be all that complicated. However, if it has to be installed into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you should not even attempt it on your own. This type of installation will require the attention of a pro, and there are dedicated cat flap installers and talented handymen who'll be ready to undertake such work.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN HESSLE

Double Glazing Installations - If you call in a "tradesman" who, while trying to fit your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazing door or window panel, immediately send them on their way. It's just not possible to install a new cat flap into a double glazing window pane or door panel. Any type of double glazed unit will be ruined by drilling a hole in it, and will diminish its strength, security and thermal properties. Your double glazing will be made unsound, and it should not be done in any circumstances whatsoever.

It is necessary to get a new double glazed pane made specially for this purpose by a glazing supplier, and your chosen Hessle cat flap fitter will take the measurements of your existing panel and put in an order for a brand new one. This new panel will arrive with a pre-cut hole as a part of its structure where the cat flap can be installed. This is basically the only way to fit a cat flap in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, although it might take a week or more to produce. Once you have taken possession of your new modified glass panel, the old one can be removed and the new pane fitted. The installation of your cat flap will then be completed.

External Wooden Doors - As mentioned previously, solid wooden doors are the least complicated alternative when it comes to cat flap installation on your property in Hessle. If you are a bit unsure of making a sizeable hole in your back or front door, you may be better off bringing in an experienced handyman or cat flap fitter instead. This type of task will not be too costly and is well worth doing properly, if having your cat flap expertly installed provides you with that additional reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can usually be installed into uPVC doors. Nonetheless, certain uPVC doors have got a steel lining for further security, which might cause issues. The models of door with a one piece panel are the easiest for installing cat flaps, so if yours has a slatted style panel, it may be advisable to swap this for a single panel.

Wall Installation - If you don't really want to have a hole cut in your doors, for aesthetic or safety reasons, you can have a cat flap installed in an external wall. This type of installation is undoubtedly best left to an expert, as it requires much more skill and equipment to accomplish. You could go with a straight-through tunnel design, or maybe a right angle version that enables entry via a pillar. A neat square shaped hole will have to be made through your selected wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, open ended square tube. A suitable cat flap is then installed on each side of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Hessle - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either broken or not working correctly, the existing hole in your window, wall or door can still be used as long as the new cat flap is of an equivalent size. Your cat flap installer will remove the old cat flap, without causing damage to the wall, window or door, and install a brand new flap for your cat.

When your installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazed pane, it will be essential to check that this was previously done accurately, before fitting the new cat flap. If you discover this is not the case, and corners were cut in the original installation, the glass panel must be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any safety and security issues.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing

Essential for the safety and comfort of outdoor and indoor cats, cat flap weatherproofing can't be overlooked. A dry and warm environment for both the feline and the occupants is achieved by a properly weatherproofed cat flap, preventing wind, rain and cold draughts from seeping into the house. Cat flaps with superior quality insulating materials and seals form a tight barrier against the weather. Think about, additionally, the installation of a weatherproof tunnel extension to shield the entryway from harsh climatic conditions. The cat flap's ability to provide a cosy and weather-protected space for your cat is upheld through regular maintenance, including checking seals for damage.
