INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN HOOK

Double Glazing Installation - If you happen to employ somebody who endeavours to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your new cat flap, stop them immediately and ask them to leave. A new cat flap can't be mounted into a pre-existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Making holes in the double glazing damages not merely the security and strength of the panel, but it removes the thermal insulation attributes as well. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will make the double glazing unsound.

A professional cat flap installer will measure up your current double glazing unit and have a glazing company knock up a new pane. So your cat flap can be snugly installed into it, this new double glazing unit will arrive with a hole pre-cut as part of its construction. This may take a week or two to produce, but it is basically the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door. Once you have received your new modified pane of glass, the old one can be removed and the new one installed. The cat flap will then be installed.

External Wooden Doors - The least complicated alternative for cat flap installations in Hook, as was mentioned previously, are wood door panels. If you're a little hesitant about creating an opening in your front or back door, you might be happier hiring a professional carpenter or cat flap fitter instead. This should provide you with the peace of mind that you'll finish up with a professionally installed cat friendly flap, and that the project has been undertaken correctly.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be mounted into uPVC doors in many cases. Nonetheless, certain uPVC door panels have got a steel lining for extra security, which could cause problems. The designs 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 better to replace this with a single panel.

Wall Installation - If you do not want to cut a hole in your doors, either for aesthetic or security reasons, you can have a cat flap installed on an outside wall. Needing considerably more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap installation is undoubtedly best left to a professional, if it is to be accomplished correctly. There are a number of choices for this kind of installation, including a straight through tunnel design, or a right angular (through pillar) pattern. Installation entails a neat square hole being made through your wall, into which a plastic or metal, square open ended tube is inserted. Each end of the hole is then fitted with a cat flap so your furry pal can exit and enter your house whenever it desires.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Hook - If you've already got a cat flat, but it is either damaged or not operating correctly, the current hole in your window, wall or door can be fitted with a replacement providing that the new flap is of an equivalent size. A professional Hook cat flap installer will gladly take out your old device and swap it for a new cat flap without causing any damage whatsoever to the wall, door or window on which it's attached.

Before installing a new flap in a double glazing pane which has been previously pre-cut, making sure that the current glass has been made and installed correctly is vital. If the previous installation was a bodge job, the glass must be removed and exchanged to avoid any security and safety problems with the new cat flap.
