Cat Flap Fitter Irchester

Cat Flap Fitter Irchester Northamptonshire (NN29): To give your cat the independence it needs to live a life of contentment, you could fit a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Irchester house. Cats which are kept inside, much like humans, will show signs of irritation. Giving your cat easy access to outside world via a cat flap can also help in keeping them physically and mentally fit. So, you're sold on the idea, but which is best style of cat flap for your pet?

Essentially, a cat flap at its most fundamental is merely that. A hole in a door with a flexible sheet of material placed over it, to keep the weather out, but let the cat pass through. Though this may be acceptable in an outhouse door or fence panel, the vast majority of cat owners in Irchester would doubtless favour something a little more secure and weatherproof for a main door to their property.

Because this solution permits other cats or creatures to enter your house, it's not at all recommended, although it can be enhanced to some degree by holding the flap in position with the addition of magnetic strips.

A step up from the magnetic strip pattern are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. This involves your cat wearing a collar that has either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased within it. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it won't be able to open the flap and get into or leave your property, therefore avoiding some unwelcome visitors. Once again this is a relatively basic form of cat flap, as any other cat in the Irchester area who's got a similar collar could perchance gain access to your house. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the preferred version of these products as they can be programmed by the home owner to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your pet.

A model of cat flap which is can be triggered by your cat's micro-chip, is the next level in Irchester feline access security. The micro-chip details are entered into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you have several cats). The flap will be unlocked whenever your cat is in the vicinity, only permitting entry or exit to pets that have a microchip.

Whenever you are purchasing a cat flap, you should make sure that it is of a type that can be locked. Currently, most cat flaps available on the market feature a 4-way locking system for added security. This allows your cat flap to permit only exit from your home, enable entry into your premises only, be fully locked, or have two way exit and entry functionality. This gives you a range of alternatives on precisely how your cat flap works at all times of the day and night. The wherewithal to perform particular functions in accordance with the time of day, and based on your pet's and your requirements is also a possibility with some of the more expensive brands of cat flap.

If you are pretty decent at do-it-yourself, putting in a cat flap should not be all that difficult, as long as you've got a solid timber door on your home in Irchester. However, if it is going to be fitted in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window, you should not even attempt to tackle it by yourself. This type of installation will require the attention of a pro, and there are specialist cat flap fitters and talented handymen who'll be glad to undertake such a task.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN IRCHESTER

Double Glazing Installations - If you call in a so-called "tradesman" who, while endeavouring to fit your cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel, immediately send them packing. It's simply not possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazed door panel or window pane. Any kind of double glazed unit will be ruined by drilling a hole in it, and will take away its strength, thermal insulation attributes and security. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will make your double glazing unsafe.

A professional cat flap installer will measure the existing double glazed unit and have a local glazing company knock up a new purpose made pane. This new glazed panel will arrive with a hole cut out as a part of its structure where the cat flap will be installed. You might have to wait a couple of weeks for this special pane to be produced, but if you need a cat flap installed into an existing patio or double glazed door, this is the only way to accomplish it. Once you have taken possession of your new adapted glass pane, the old one can be removed and the new panel fitted. The cat flap will then be put in.

Exterior Wooden Doors - The most straightforward option for new cat flap installations in Irchester, as was stated earlier, are solid timber door panels. If you are uncomfortable with making a hole in your front door, it's probably a good idea to bring in a professional to undertake the project for you. A project of this sort will not be expensive and will provide you with peace of mind that your pet can enjoy an expertly installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can usually be fitted into uPVC doors. However, some uPVC door panels have a steel lining for additional security, which can cause some issues. A one piece panel enables easier installation, so if you have a slatted uPVC door, it might be less expensive to replace the panel with a single panel model.

Wall Installation - If you don't really wish to cut a hole in your doors, either for aesthetic or security reasons, you could opt for a cat flap to be installed on an exterior wall. This form of installation is definitely better left to the pros, because it calls for far more skill and equipment to execute. There are a number of choices for this sort of installation, including a straight through tunnel design, or a right angular (through pillar) pattern. With this kind of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended tube is inserted into a square hole cut out of your wall. Both ends of the hole are then fitted with an appropriate cat flap so that your feline friend can enter and exit the house whenever it desires.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Irchester - If you already have a cat flap fitted on your wall, window or door, but it is damaged or not operating properly, the current hole can, with luck, still be used for the installation of a replacement. Your cat flap installer should be able to remove the old cat flap, without damaging the surrounding window, door or wall, and fit a brand new flap in its place for your cat.

When your installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it will be important to confirm that this was previously done in the right way, before fixing the new cat flap. The glass panel will need to be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security problems, if it is found that this isn't the case and a bodge job was made of the previous installation.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing

For both indoor and outdoor cats, maintaining safety and comfort depends on effective cat flap weatherproofing. A warm and dry environment for the feline is ensured by a properly weatherproofed cat flap, preventing wind, cold draughts and rain from seeping into the house. A tight barrier against the weather is achieved with cat flaps that have superior quality seals and insulating materials. Installing a weatherproof tunnel extension is an additional consideration to shield the entrance from harsh climatic conditions. Cat owners must prioritize routine maintenance, such as checking seals for damage and deterioration, to keep the cat flap effective in providing a weather-protected and comfortable space for the cat.
