A cat flap at its most basic is just that. A sheet of bendable material placed over a hole in a doorway to permit a cat to go through, but keep the elements out. Obviously, this is very basic, and will not be adequate for most cat owners in Olney, who would prefer something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their property, although it may be appropriate for a garden fence panel or shed door.

Making a hole in your double glazing destroys not just the strength and security of the glazing, but it compromises the insulation attributes as well. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will render your double glazing unsound.
A dependable Olney cat flap installer will meticulously get the dimensions of your current pane and order a tailor-made one from a local glazing firm. This new glazed pane will be delivered with a hole cut out as part of its structure where the cat flap will be fitted.
