Street Cat Flap Installation & Repair

Cat Flap Fitter Street Somerset (BA16): Installing a cat flap to an external wall or door in your Street house provides your cat with the independence that it needs to live a life of contentment. Cats are like people in a lot of ways, and will likely start to show signs of irritability and frustration if kept indoors for lengthy periods of time without a break. Having a cat that's both physically and mentally fit, is one of the main benefits of allowing your furry friend easy access to outside world via a cat flap. But what form of cat flap is the best solution for your situation?

The most rudimentry style of cat flap is essentially that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible sheet of material placed over it, to give protection from the elements, but let the cat climb through. Most Street cat owners would doubtless prefer something a little more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their home, although this might be okay for a fence panel or shed door.

This basic design can be marginally improved on with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place, but it is still a long way off being ideal since it enables other animals or cats a means by which to get into your house.

A step up from the magnetic strip version are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. With this kind of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar boasting an RF chip, IR or magnet. No animal will be able to access or leave your property unless it is fitted with this special collar. Again this is a fairly basic kind of cat flap, as any other moggy in the Street area who has a similar collar may be able to gain access to your house. Even these cat flaps can be improved to some extent with an RF cat flap and collar system containing a user programmed unique identifier. Providing an additional layer of security and control, this ensures that only your furry friend gets access.

The kind of cat flap that is able to identify your cat's microchip, is the next level in Street feline access security. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you've got several cats), to provide exclusive access. The flap will be unfastened anytime your cat is in close proximity, only allowing entry or exit to animals that have a microchip.

The ability to lock it in place is important regardless which cat flap you are purchasing. Most cat flaps sold nowadays feature a 4-way locking system. Which means that the cat flap can allow only entry into your house, enable exit from your premises only, be fully locked, or be set for two way entry and exit. This provides total control over the operation of your cat flap both during the day and throughout the night time. Some more expensive cat flaps can be set to carry out specific functions according to the time of day, in keeping with your pet's and your needs.

If you've got a timber door on your house in Street, installing a cat flap yourself should not be too difficult. Although, if it is going to be installed into a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you should not even attempt it on your own. This type of installation calls for the attention of a professional, and there are specialist cat flap fitters and skilled handymen who'll be delighted to take on such a task.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN STREET

Double Glazing Installations - If your cat flap needs to be mounted on a double glazing door or window panel, and your appointed "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop the work immediately and give them the boot. It's just not possible to install a new cat flap into a double glazing door panel or window pane. Any type of double glazed unit will be ruined by drilling or cutting into it, and will detract from its strength, security and insulating attributes. It should under no circumstances be attempted and renders your double glazing unsound.

An experienced cat flap installer will measure your current double glazing unit and have a local Street glazing company knock up a new pane. This new glazed panel will have a pre-cut hole as a part of its construction where the cat flap can be fitted. You might have to wait a week or more for this to be produced, however if you need a cat flap installed in a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, this is the only way to do it. After fabrication, your old glass can be taken out, and the brand new one put in. The cat flap will then be put in.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Solid timber doors are, as I already stated, the easiest alternatives for cat flap installation in Street. If you are nervous about cutting a hole in your front door, it's a good move to call in a professional to do the job for you. This will provide you with the peace of mind that you'll wind up with a professionally fitted cat friendly flap, and that the job has been undertaken properly.

uPVC Door Panels - uPVC doors can be installed with a cat flap. However, certain uPVC doors have got a steel lining for further security, which can cause some issues. A one-piece panel allows for simpler installation, so if you've got a uPVC door that is slatted, it might be more cost effective to replace the panel with a single panel model.

Wall Installation - It's also feasible to have a cat flap fitted into an external wall of your property in Street, if you do not want to have a hole cut in one of your doors, whether for aesthetic or security reasons. This kind of installment is definitely better left to the pros, because it requires considerably more equipment and skill to accomplish. Almost all wall cat flap installations involve a basic straight tunnel style, however right angle access via a pillar is also a possibility. Installation involves a square hole being made through your wall, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted. An appropriate cat flap can then be attached to both ends of the hole.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Street - If you already have a cat flap fitted on a window, door or wall, but it is broken or not working properly, the existing hole can, with a little luck, be re-used for the installation of a new one. A trustworthy cat flap fitter in Street will be able to remove the old cat flap, and fit a brand new one as a replacement without causing damage to the window, door or wall.

If the new cat flap is to be mounted into a pre cut hole in a double glazed pane, you must ensure that the existing glass has been manufactured and installed correctly. The glass will have to be taken out and replaced with a new one to avoid any security and safety problems, if it is found that this isn't the case and corners were cut during the original installation.

THE CONVENIENCE OF CAT FLAPS

A variety of benefits are afforded to cats and their owners through cat flaps:

  1. Independence for Cats: The independent nature of cats is catered to by cat flaps, permitting them to freely explore outside, exercise, and indulge their curiosity, contributing to their overall happiness and well-being.
  2. Reduced Stress: The installation of a cat flap means you no longer have to constantly monitor and open the door for your cat, easing stress for both of you, as your pet can leave and return without needing your aid.
  3. Convenience for Owners: Owners no longer have to interrupt their daily routines to let their cats out or in. This convenience is especially valuable for those with busy lifestyles or irregular schedules.
  4. Reduced Door Scratching: Worried about your door becoming a scratching post? Frustration from waiting can lead to destructive scratching near entry points. Cat flaps offer an alternative access solution, potentially putting a stop to this unwanted behaviour.
  5. Enhanced Security: With locking mechanisms installed, several cat flaps can be set to admit only chosen cats, effectively keeping out uninvited visitors. This enhances the security of homes by preventing the entry of stray animals and potential dangers.
  6. Reduced Litter Box Odours: Cats that can relieve themselves outdoors may use the litter box less regularly, potentially leading to less frequent cleaning and reduced litter box smells within your dwelling.
  7. Better Control: Programmable advanced cat flaps, which can be aligned with your cat's microchip or a distinct collar tag, guarantee that only your cat utilises the flap, giving you total command over their entrances and exits.

Are Cat Flaps Good for Cats?

Increased independence and freedom are among the benefits that cats can enjoy from using cat flaps. Stimulating feline companions' exploration instincts and natural curiosity, these small doors enable them to access the outdoors or other designated areas at their own discretion.

By enabling cats to engage in mental stimulation and regular exercise, cat flaps contribute to their overall well-being. Cat flaps in Street provide a convenient solution for cat owners, sparing them from the constant need to open window or doors for their pets. The cat's safety from potential threats outside and the prevention of unwanted animals entering the home are important considerations that should be made.

In addition, cat flaps might not be suitable for all cats, such as those with medical conditions or behavioural issues. To determine if a cat flap is suitable for a particular cat, it is crucial to supervise and evaluate individual circumstances properly.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing Street

Installing a cat flap in one's home provides pets with the freedom to move about, yet it also introduces the challenge of preserving energy efficiency and ensuring weatherproofing. The comfort of pets and property owners alike must be protected by a solution that combats the cold and damp, given the UK's varied climate. Featuring insulating materials and magnetic seals to block moisture and draughts, advanced cat flaps designed for weatherproofing are crucial.

For effective weatherproofing of a cat flap, both the choice of product and the quality of installation are of paramount importance. The use of waterproof sealants and insulating materials for proper sealing can considerably increase the cat flap's defence against harsh weather conditions. Furthermore, by incorporating brush seals, some cat flaps actively reduce rain and cold air intrusion, maintaining a warm indoor setting without limiting access for pets.

For cat owners in Street who are aiming to merge energy efficiency with convenience, opting for a high-quality, weatherproof cat flap represents a prudent choice. By choosing a model designed to withstand the UK’s weather and ensuring it is correctly installed, homeowners can enjoy the benefits of a pet-friendly home that remains dry, warm, and energy-efficient. The approach serves to not only improve the cat's quality of life but also to contribute towards the reduction of energy costs in the future. (84696 - Cat Flap Weatherproofing Street)
