Cat Flap Fitter Hurstpierpoint West Sussex (BN6): Installing a cat flap to an outside wall or door in your Hurstpierpoint house allows your cat the independence that it needs to live a happy life. Cats tend to get irritated and grouchy when kept inside, and not allowed to roam. When permitted quick access to the great outdoors with a cat flap, your beloved cat has a far better chance of staying fit and healthy. If this sounds like a good option for you, what kind of cat flap should you install?
The simplest kind of cat flap is essentially that. A bit of bendable material hung over a hole in a doorway to allow a cat to go through, but keep out the elements. Most cat owners in Hurstpierpoint would favour something a little more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their home, although this could be suitable for a shed or outhouse door.
This simple model can be to some degree improved on with magnetic strips to hold the flap in place, but it is still a long way from being ideal because it allows other cats or creatures to get into your property.
A step up from the magnetic strip pattern are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. This involves your cat wearing a collar that has either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased in it. No animal will be able to leave or access your property unless it's equipped with this special collar. The downside here is that any other cat in the neighbourhood who's got a similar style of collar could perhaps gain access to your home when using this kind of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the upgraded version of these devices and can be programmed by the home owner to recognise a unique identifier, specific to your pet.
Fitting a cat flap which can be triggered by your cat's micro-chip, is the next step-up in entry gadgets for felines in Hurstpierpoint. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip numbers (if you have more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. The flap is unfastened when your cat is in the vicinity, only permitting entry or exit to animals that are microchipped.
The ability to lock it in place is essential no matter what cat flap you're purchasing. For added flexibility, the majority of cat flaps have a 4-way locking mechanism these days. Which means that it's got the capability to permit only admittance into your property, permit exit from your house only, be locked fully, or be put in 2-way entry and exit mode. This provides full control over the operation of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night. The ability to carry out specific functions in accordance with the time of day, and based on your pet's and your needs is also a possibility with some of the top-end models of cat flap.
If you are pretty decent at DIY, putting in a cat flap shouldn't be that difficult, as long as you have a solid wood door on your Hurstpierpoint home. However, if it has to be installed in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window, you should not even attempt it on your own. These types of fixtures require a professional installation from a trustworthy cat flap fitter or carpenter with the necessary equipment and skills.
INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN HURSTPIERPOINT
Double Glazing Installation - If you hire someone who endeavours to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to put in your new cat flap, stop them immediately and ask them to leave. A new cat flap can not be fitted into a pre-existing double glazed window pane or door panel. Making a hole in the double glazing damages not only the strength and security of the glazing, but it removes the insulating attributes too. In reality, it makes your glazing unsafe and it shouldn't ever be done.
A professional cat flap fitter will take the measurements of the existing double glazed pane and have a glazing company make a new one. This new pane 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 is the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door. When your new panel of glass shows up, the installer will remove the old unit, and exchange it for the brand new "cat flap ready" pane. It will now be possible to install the cat flap.
Exterior Wooden Doors - Timber doors are, as we mentioned previously, the simplest options for cat flap installation in Hurstpierpoint. If you are hesitant about creating a hole in your door, it's wise to bring in a professional to undertake the project for you. This kind of task will not be too expensive and is really worth doing properly, if getting your cat flap installed by a professional gives you that added reassurance.
uPVC Door Panels - It's quite possible to install a cat flap into most uPVC doors. However, some uPVC door panels have got a steel lining for added security, which may cause some issues. A one piece panel enables simpler installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it might be more cost effective to exchange this panel for a single pane type.
Wall Installation - It's also feasible to have a cat flap installed in an outside wall of your home in Hurstpierpoint, if you don't want to have a hole cut in one of your doors, either for safety or aesthetic reasons. Calling for considerably more equipment and skill, a wall cat flap installment is undoubtedly best left to a professional, if it's to be accomplished correctly. There are a couple of options for this sort of installation, including a straightforward design, or a right angular (through pillar) model. With this kind of installation a plastic or metal, open ended square insert is fitted into a square shaped hole cut out of your specified wall. The cat flap you have chosen can then be mounted on both ends to enable your furry friend to come and go as it wishes.
Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Hurstpierpoint - If you already have a cat flap fitted on your window, door or wall, but it is broken or not working properly, the current hole can, with luck, still be used for the installation of a replacement. A decent cat flap installer in Hurstpierpoint will efficiently remove your old cat flap, and fix a brand new one in its place without causing damage to the surrounding door, window or wall.
When your cat flap installation involves a pre-cut hole in double glazing, it will be necessary to make sure that this was previously done accurately, before fitting the new cat flap. The glass must be taken out and replaced to avoid any security and safety problems, if it's found this is not the case and corners were cut in the original installation.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing Hurstpierpoint
Vital for the well-being and safety of both indoor and outdoor cats, weatherproofing the cat flap is essential. A dry and warm environment for both the feline and the occupants is ensured by a correctly weatherproofed cat flap, preventing wind, rain and draughts from seeping into the house. Superior quality insulating materials and seals in cat flaps ensure a tight barrier against the elements. In addition, consider installing a weatherproof tunnel extension to shield the entryway from harsh climatic conditions. Cat owners must prioritize routine maintenance, such as checking seals for wear and tear, to keep the cat flap effective in providing a weather-protected and comfortable space for your furry companion.
