Cat Flap Fitter Tiverton

Cat Flap Fitter Tiverton Devon (EX16): Fitting a cat flap doesn't just save you the bother of opening the door every time the cat chooses to stroll out or in, it also affords your cat more independence and improves it's quality of life. When constantly kept inside, cats as with people, will get irritated and grouchy. When permitted quick access to the world outside with a cat flap, your beloved cat has a much better chance of staying healthy and well. If you elect to go with the cat flap option, your next decision will be what kind of cat flap would be best for you.

A cat flap at its most fundamental is merely that. A hole is cut into an outside door and a flexible material is hung over the gap to offer protection from the weather. The vast majority of cat owners in Tiverton would favour something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their home, although this may be suitable for a shed door or garden fence panel.

This standard design can be improved on slightly with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place, however it is still a long way off being perfect as it enables other cats or creatures a means by which to get into your home.

Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red models of cat flap. With this form of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar featuring an IR, RF chip or magnet. Therefore any animal that hasn't got one of these special collars cannot access or leave your home. Once again this is a pretty basic form of cat flap, since any other cat in the neighbourhood that's got a similar model of collar can still gain access to your home. Even these cat flaps can be upgraded to a certain extent with an RF cat flap and collar system offering a user programmed unique identifier.

The next stage in feline access security is to fit the type of cat flap which identifies your cat's own microchip. You have to enter the number of your cat's micro-chip into the cat flap's memory (which is powered by batteries), and if you have more than one cat it will allow multiple entries. The flap is unlocked anytime your cat is in the vicinity, only allowing exit or entry to animals that have a micro-chip.

Regardless which cat flap you purchase, it should be capable of being locked in place. For extra flexibility, the majority of cat flaps feature a four way locking mechanism these days. Which means that it's got the capability to enable exit only, allow admittance into your premises only, be locked fully, or be put in 2-way entry and exit mode. This offers you solutions for all times of day and night, to have control over how your cat flap works. In keeping with your cat's and your needs, there is even the possibility to perform different functions according to the time of day, with several of the more expensive models.

Putting in a cat flap yourself can be really simple if you've got a solid timber door, and respectable DIY capabilities. However, if it has to be fitted in a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window, you should not even attempt it yourself. This sort of installation calls for the attention of a pro, and there are dedicated cat flap installers and skilled odd job men who are happy to accept such a task.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN TIVERTON

Double Glazing Installation - If you call in a so-called "tradesman" who, while trying to install your new cat flap, attempts to drill a hole in a double glazing door or window panel, immediately send them on their way. A new cat flap can't be fitted into a pre-existing double glazing door panel or window pane. Cutting into any kind of double glazing will damage its security and strength, as well as its thermal insulation attributes. Your double glazing will be made unsafe, and it shouldn't be attempted in any circumstances.

It is necessary to obtain a new double glazing pane made especially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your chosen Tiverton cat flap fitter will measure your current panel and put in an order for a brand new one. As a part of its construction this new double glazed pane will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be installed neatly into. This may take a week or more to produce, but it is really the only way to install a cat flap into an existing patio or double glazed door. As soon as your new pane of glass is delivered, the installer will take out the old unit, and replace it with the new "cat flap ready" one. The cat flap will then be mounted.

Exterior Wooden Doors - Solid timber door panels are, as previously mentioned, the easiest alternatives for installing a new cat flap in Tiverton. If you're nervous about creating a hole in your back or front door, it's advisable to call on an expert to do the work for you. This type of undertaking will not be all that expensive and is really worth doing properly, if having your cat flap installed by a professional provides you with that additional reassurance.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can be installed into uPVC doors in many instances. You or your fitter will have to establish what the internal structure of you door is, since for additional security some uPVC door panels are manufactured with a steel lining. The simplest type of installation is in doors having one single panel, consequently if you've got a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it may be easier and cheaper overall to exchange the slatted pane for a one-piece panel.

Wall Installation - It is also possible to get a cat flap installed in an external wall of your property in Tiverton, if you don't want to cut holes in your doors, for safety or aesthetic reasons. A cat flap entrance in a wall requires considerably more equipment and expertise to install, so it is certainly better left to the pros. You can go with a straight-through tunnel design, or maybe a right angle model which enables access through a pillar. With this type of installation a plastic or metal, square open ended tube is inserted into a square shaped hole neatly cut out of your specified wall. Each end of the hole is then installed with an appropriate cat flap so that your feline friend can get in and out of your house whenever it wishes.

Replacing an Existing Cat Flap in Tiverton - If you already have a cat flap installed on a door, wall or window, but it's damaged or not working correctly, the existing hole can, with a little luck, still be used for the installation of a new one. An experienced Tiverton cat flap fitter will be happy to take out your old entry unit and replace it with a new cat flap without causing any harm to the window, door or wall on which it is attached.

Before attaching a new flap in a double glazing pane that has been pre-cut, confirming that the existing glass has been made and installed correctly is vital. The pane will need to be taken out and replaced to avoid any security and safety issues, if you discover that this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the original installation.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing

Important for the well-being and safety of both outdoor and indoor cats, weatherproofing the cat flap is essential. With a well-weatherproofed cat flap, the house is protected from draughts, wind and rain, ensuring a warm and dry environment for the feline. Cat flaps with high-quality seals and insulating materials form a tight barrier against the weather. An additional option to shield the entrance from harsh weather conditions is the installation of a weatherproof tunnel extension. Routine maintenance, such as the inspection of seals for damage and deterioration, is vital to ensure the cat flap remains effective in offering a comfy and weather-protected space for your cat.
