Cat Flap Fitter Tetbury

Cat Flap Fitter Tetbury Gloucestershire (GL8): Installing a cat flap doesn't just save you the trouble of opening the door every time the cat wishes to stroll in or out, it also gives your cat extra independence and boosts it's all round quality of life. Cats are quite like humans in a lot of ways, and will often show signs of irritability and frustration if kept inside for lengthy periods of time. Having a cat that is both mentally and physically fit, is just one of the positive aspects of giving your furry friend access to the outside world via a cat flap. So, you think it's a good idea, but what is perfect kind of cat flap for your pet?

The most basic sort of cat flap, is just that. A bit of bendable material hung over a hole in a doorway to allow a cat to pass through, but keep the elements out. The majority of cat owners in Tetbury would favour something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their property, although this may be appropriate for a garden fence panel or outhouse door.

This basic model is still far from perfect because it allows other cats or creatures to get into your home, but it can be improved on by adding a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap, are a step up from the basic magnetic strip variation. With this form of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar featuring an IR, RF chip or magnet. No animal will be able to access or leave your property unless it is equipped with this special collar. Once again this is a pretty simple form of cat flap, as any other cat in the Tetbury area who has a similar model of collar could perchance get into your house. An improvement to this equipment is an RF cat flap/collar system which contains a unique identifier that can be programmed by the cat's owner.

A model of cat flap which is can be operated by your cat's own microchip, is the next step-up in feline entry security. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip details (if you have more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. Entry and exit can only be accomplished by microchipped animals, and the flap will be unlocked when you cat is close by.

Whenever you're purchasing a cat flap, you should ensure that it is of a type that can be locked. Most cat flaps sold these days boast a four way locking mechanism. This allows your cat flap to be fully locked, enable entrance into your house only, permit exit from your premises only, or have two way entry and exit functionality. This provides you with a number of alternatives on exactly how your cat flap works at all times of the day and night. In keeping with yours and your pet's needs, there's even the option to perform specific functions according to the time of day, with a few of the more advanced models.

Fitting a cat flap by yourself can be really simple if you've got a solid wood door, and decent do-it-yourself skills. However, if it needs to be installed into a double glazed window or in a reinforced PVC door, you should not even attempt to tackle it by yourself. These situations call for the skills and expertise of a specialist cat flap fitter or handyman, who'll have all the knowledge and equipment for this kind of installation project.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN TETBURY

Double Glazing Installation - If you bring in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to install your cat flap, starts to drill a hole in a double glazing door or window panel, immediately send them on their way. New cat flaps can't be mounted into pre-existing double glazed window or door panels. Any kind of double glazed unit will be ruined by drilling or cutting into it, and will damage its thermal insulation attributes, strength and security. It should in no circumstances be attempted and will render the double glazing unsafe.

It is necessary to get a new double glazed panel made especially for this purpose by a glazing firm, and your local Tetbury cat flap fitter will measure your existing panel and order a brand new one. As a part of its construction this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which your cat flap can be fitted neatly into. This is really the only way to install a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door, even though it can take a week or two to produce. Once you've acquired your new adapted glass pane, the old one can be taken out and the new panel installed. The fitting of your cat flap can then be concluded.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Timber door panels are, as previously mentioned, the simplest options for installing a new cat flap in Tetbury. If you're unsure about making a hole in your front or back door, it's it may be better to contact an expert to do the work for you. This kind of task will not be too expensive and is worth doing properly, if getting your cat flap installed by a professional offers you that added peace of mind.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally be installed into uPVC doors. It pays to know the interior construction, since some uPVC doors have a steel lining for further security. The models of door with a one piece panel are the easiest for cat flap installation, so if yours has a slatted style panel, it may be easier to swap this for a single panel.

Wall Installation - If, for either aesthetic or security reasons, you don't wish to have a chunk cut out of a door, you could always opt to install the cat flap on an exterior wall of your home. Calling for a lot more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap install is definitely better left to a specialist, if it's to be accomplished successfully. You can decide on a straight through tunnel style, or maybe a right angle version that allows access via a pillar. This installation calls for a square shaped hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted. Each end of the hole is then fitted with a cat flap so your feline friend can exit and enter the house whenever it desires.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Tetbury - If your wall, door or window is already fitted with a cat flap, but it has stopped working effectively, or is damaged, it is possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. A decent cat flap fitter in Tetbury will be capable of removing the unwanted cat flap, and fix a new one in its place without harming the window, wall or door.

Before installing the new cat flap in a double glazed panel that has been pre-cut, making sure that the current glass has been manufactured, cut and installed accurately is vital. If it's found that corners were cut with the previous installation, the pane will have to be taken out and exchanged to avoid any security and safety issues with the new flap.

Installing Cat Flaps in Walls

Installing a cat flap in a brick wall, rather than a door, can be a sensible solution, yet it requires specialised tools and skills. A brick wall offers more flexibility in placement, allowing you to choose the ideal spot for your cat's exit and entry without modifying your doors.

It's advisable to hire an experienced professional due to the complexity of cutting through bricks. To make sure that the work is done effectively and safely, they possess the necessary tools, such as a cold chisel or bolster and a masonry drill, and the required expertise. To guard against the elements, the specialist will line the neat tunnel they create through the wall.

A weather-resistant and durable access point for your furry friend is provided, once the cat flap is installed. By maintaining the integrity of your doors, this setup allows your cat the freedom to exit and enter, thereby improving convenience and security. (Cat Flaps in Walls in Tetbury)

Cat Flap Weatherproofing

The installation of a cat flap offers pets autonomy in their movements but concurrently challenges homeowners to sustain energy efficiency and effective weatherproofing. To safeguard the comfort of both pets and their owners, the UK's changeable climate requires a protective measure against the moisture and cold. For the purpose of weatherproofing, cat flaps with insulating materials and magnetic seals, preventing the infiltration of moisture and draughts, are fundamental.

The process of weatherproofing a cat flap extends beyond simply selecting the correct product; the manner of its installation is equally critical. A significant enhancement in resisting harsh weather conditions can be achieved by properly sealing the cat flap with waterproof sealants and insulation. Additionally, with brush seals included, certain cat flaps are designed to further cut down on the influx of rain and cold air, thereby keeping the indoor habitat snug without compromising the access of pets.

For cat owners in Tetbury who are aiming to merge convenience with energy efficiency, opting for a high-quality, weatherproof cat flap represents a prudent choice. Homeowners who choose a model designed for the UK's varied weather and ensure its correct installation will benefit from a home that is welcoming to pets, whilst also being dry, warm, and efficient in energy use. By adopting this approach, the quality of life for the pet is improved, and, simultaneously, it helps in cutting down long-term energy costs. (34465 - Cat Flap Weatherproofing Tetbury)
