Free Penkridge Cat Flap Fitting Quotes

Essentially, a cat flap at its most basic is merely that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible sheet of material fixed over it, to keep out the elements, but permit the cat move through. Of course, this is very basic, and won't be sufficient for most cat owners in Penkridge, who would prefer something a tad more secure and weatherproof for an outside door to their home, although it could be okay for a shed or outhouse door.

This basic design is still a long way off being ideal as it allows other creatures or cats to get into your house, but it can be improved on with the addition of a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap, are a step up from the basic magnetic strip variation. With these, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be fitted into your cat's collar. No animal will be able to get into or leave your property unless it's fitted with one of these special collars. The point that any other cat in the Penkridge area who has a similar model of collar can easily gain access to your home, is the downside with this type of cat flap. RF cat flaps and collar systems are the best version of these products because they can be programmed by the pet's owner to recognise a unique identifier, distinct to your cat.

The type of cat flap which is can be triggered by your cat's micro-chip, is the next level in Penkridge feline entrance security. The details of your cat's micro-chip are entered into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one cat). Exit and entry are only possible for microchipped animals, and the flap is unlocked whenever you cat is in close proximity.

No matter which cat flap you purchase, it should have the ability to be locked in place. Currently, nearly all cat flaps available on the market feature a four way locking mechanism for extra flexibility. This means that it's got the capability to be fully locked, allow exit from your property only, permit only admittance into your premises, or be put in two-way exit and entry mode. This offers full control over the operation of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night time. A few of the top-end models can be set to perform specific functions according to the time of day, based on your cat's and your needs.

If you're fairly decent at do-it-yourself, installing a cat flap should not be all that difficult, if you have a timber door on your Penkridge home. But, if you're looking to fit it into a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you must ask for outside assistance. These kinds of fixtures call for a professional installation from a reputable cat flap installer or odd job man with the necessary skills and equipment.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN PENKRIDGE

Double Glazing Installations - If you employ somebody who attempts to drill a hole in your double glazing to put in your cat flap, stop them without delay and ask them to leave. It is simply not possible to install a new cat flap into a double glazing window pane or door panel. Drilling or cutting into any kind of double glazing will damage its security and strength, as well as its thermal properties. Your double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it should not be attempted under any circumstances.

A reliable Penkridge cat flap installer will meticulously take the precise measurements of your existing panel and order a tailor-made one from a local glazing company. This new glazed pane will arrive with a hole cut out as part of its construction where the cat flap can be fitted. This is the only way to fit a cat flap into a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, although it may take a week or two to manufacture. Once you have acquired your new adapted pane of glass, the old one can be removed and the new panel fitted. It's now possible to install your new cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - As stated earlier, solid wooden door panels are the least complicated option in relation to installing a new cat flap on your home in Penkridge. If you're somewhat unsure of creating a sizeable hole in your back or front door, you may be happier bringing in a specialist cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. This should give you the satisfaction of knowing that you will finish up with a professionally installed cat friendly flap, and that the job has been accomplished correctly and without causing harm to your door.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be installed with a cat flap. Nonetheless, some uPVC doors have a steel lining for extra security, which could cause problems. A one piece panel enables simpler installation, so if you have a slatted uPVC door, it might be more economical to swap the panel for a single pane type.

Wall Installation - If you do not wish to cut a hole in your doors, for aesthetic or safety reasons, you can get a cat flap installed on an external wall. This kind of installation is definitely best left to a specialist, as it calls for far more equipment and skill to execute. You will find there are a couple of choices for this sort of installation, including a straight through tunnel design, or a right angle (through pillar) configuration. This installation involves a neat square hole being made through your wall, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted. The cat flap you have chosen is then attached at both ends to permit your cat to enter and exit as it pleases.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Penkridge - If your door, wall or window already has a cat flap fitted, but it's stopped working effectively, or is damaged, it is entirely possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. Your cat flap installer should be able to take off the old cat flap, without harming the window, wall or door, and install a brand new flap for your cat.

When your cat flap installation involves a pre-cut hole in a double glazed panel, it is necessary to check that this was previously done accurately, before fixing the new flap. If corners were cut with the previous installation, the pane will have to be taken out and exchanged to avoid any safety and security issues with the new flap.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing

The comfort and well-being of both indoor and outdoor cats in Penkridge depend on the weatherproofing of their cat flaps. A well-weatherproofed cat flap is a crucial barrier against the elements that shields cats from wind, rain and chilly draughts, and extreme temperatures. This protective approach has a positive impact on both their overall quality of life and their safety.

The process of weatherproofing a cat flap involves the choice of suitable design characteristics and materials capable of enduring diverse weather conditions. Top-quality seals around the cat flap edges are essential to prevent rainwater from seeping indoors, ensuring that the environment is dry and pleasant. Cats' health and overall contentment can be affected by the significant discomfort caused by cold draughts. Felines can be protected from chilling draughts and ensured to remain warm by using insulating materials as part of successful weatherproofing. (13579)
