Cat Flap Fitter Weston-super-Mare Somerset (BS22): To allow your cat the independence it needs to live a happy life, you could install a cat flap to an outside door or wall in your Weston-super-Mare home. Cats are very similar to people in a lot of ways, and will typically show signs of frustration and unease if kept inside for long periods of time. When permitted instant access to the outside world with a cat flap, your precious cat has a much better chance of staying healthy and fit. If this seems like a great idea to you, exactly what kind of cat flap should you go with?
The most rudimentry form of cat flap is basically that. A hole in a door with a bendable piece of material placed over it, to keep the weather out, but let the cat climb through. Even though this may be acceptable in a shed or outhouse door, the majority of cat owners in Weston-super-Mare would no doubt favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their house.
This simple design can be to some degree improved on with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place, but it is still far from ideal as it allows other animals or cats to get into your property.
Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip variations of cat flap. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar fitted with an IR, RF chip or magnet. No animal will be able to leave or access your house unless it's equipped with one of these special collars. Once again this is a fairly basic kind of cat flap, because any other moggy in the area that's got a similar collar can easily gain access to your house. Even these cat flaps can be upgraded to some extent with an RF cat flap and collar system offering an owner programmed unique identifier.
The next level in feline entry security is to choose the kind of cat flap which identifies your cat's own microchip. The details of your cat's micro-chip are programmed into the cat flap's memory (multiple entries can be made if you have more than one pet). Whenever your cat is in close proximity to the flap, it will unlock and permit just your micro-chipped pets to use the exit/entrance.
Whichever cat flap you buy, it must have the ability to be locked in position. These days, most cat flaps available on the market have a 4-way locking mechanism for added flexibility. Which means it's got the capability to enable admittance into your home only, be locked fully, allow exit from your property only, or be put in two-way exit and entry mode. This provides you with solutions for all times of night and day, to have control over how your cat flap functions. The wherewithal to perform specific functions in accordance with the time of day, and in keeping with your cat's and your needs is also a possibility with some of the high end brands of cat flap.
Installing a cat flap on your own can be really easy if you have a solid wood door on your Weston-super-Mare property, and reasonable DIY capabilities. Under no circumstances should you attempt to fit a cat flap in a reinforced PVC door or in a double glazed window panel. These kinds of fixtures require a professional installation from a reputable cat flap fitter or carpenter with the appropriate skills and equipment.
INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN WESTON-SUPER-MARE
Double Glazing Installations - If you happen to employ someone who tries to drill a hole in your double glazing to install your new cat flap, stop them immediately and ask them to leave. A new cat flap cannot be installed into a pre-existing double glazing window pane or door panel. Any type of double glazing will be damaged by drilling a hole in it, and will take away its security, thermal insulation properties and strength. Actually, it makes your glazing unsafe and it should not ever be done.
It is necessary to get a new double glazing pane made especially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your local Weston-super-Mare cat flap installer will take the measurements of your current panel and put in an order for the new one. As a part of its structure this new pane will have a pre-cut hole, which the cat flap can be installed snugly into. This is really the only way to install a cat flap into a pre-existing double glazed or patio door, although it might take a week or more to produce. After construction, the old glass panel can be removed, and the new one put in its place. It will now be possible to fit your new cat flap.
External Wooden Doors - Timber doors are, as stated earlier, the simplest alternatives for installing a new cat flap in Weston-super-Mare.

This kind of project will not be too costly and is really worth doing correctly, if getting your cat flap expertly installed provides you with that additional peace of mind.
uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally speaking be fitted into uPVC doors. Nonetheless, certain uPVC doors have a steel lining for further security, which can cause some issues. The easiest type of cat flap installation is in doors having a single panel, subsequently if you've got a uPVC door with vertical slatted panels, it may be cheaper and easier in the long run to replace the slats with a one piece panel.
Wall Installation - If you do not want to have a hole cut in your doors, for aesthetic or safety reasons, you could have a cat flap installed on an exterior wall. Requiring far more expertise and equipment, a wall cat flap installment is certainly better left to a specialist, if it's to be accomplished successfully. The majority of wall cat flap installations are a simple straight tunnelled style, however right angled access through a pillar is also an option. A square hole will be cut through your wall, into which is inserted a plastic or metal, square open ended tube. An appropriate cat flap can then be attached to both ends of the hole.
Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Weston-super-Mare - If you've already got a cat flap installed on your door, window or wall, but it is damaged or not operating correctly, the current hole can, with luck, be re-used for installing a new one.

Before fitting the new cat flap in a double glazed panel which has been pre-cut, confirming that the current glass has been made and installed in the right way is essential. If it's found that corners were cut with the previous installation, the panel will need to be taken out and substituted to avoid any safety and security problems with the new flap.
