Cat Flap Fitter Woodbridge

Cat Flap Fitter Woodbridge Suffolk (IP12): Putting in a cat flap doesn't just save you the inconvenience of having to open the door every time the cat decides to go in or out, it also affords your cat more independence and enhances it's quality of life. Cats are very similar to people in many ways, and will often start to show signs of frustration and irritability if kept inside for long periods of time. Having access to the outside world with a cat flap will help your cat to stay fit, both mentally and physically. If you elect to go with the cat flap option, your next decision will be what is the best type of cat flap for you.

The most rudimentry type of cat flap is essentially that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable piece of material fixed over it, to provide protection from the elements, but allow the cat climb through. The majority of cat owners in Woodbridge would doubtless favour something a tad more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their house, although this might be okay for a fence panel or outhouse door.

As this option can allow other animals or cats to enter your house, it isn't at all ideal, though it can be enhanced a bit by holding the flap in place with the addition of a magnetic strip.

A step up from the magnetic strip pattern are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. This involves your cat wearing a collar that's got either a magnet, RF or IR chip encased inside it. No animal is going to be able to access or leave your property unless it's equipped with one of these special collars. Once again this is a relatively simple form of cat flap, since any other cat in the area who's got a similar style of collar might be able to get into your house. Even these cat flaps can be improved to some degree with an RF cat flap and collar system having an owner programmed unique identifier. With this, an extra layer of security and control is established to make sure that only your feline friend gains access.

The type of cat flap that's can be triggered by your pet's microchip, is the next level in feline entry security. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you've got several cats), to give exclusive access. Whenever your cat is close to the flap, it will unlock and allow only your microchipped pets to exit or enter.

Whenever you're purchasing a cat flap, you should make sure it is of a design that can be locked. Most cat flaps sold nowadays have a four way locking mechanism. Which means that the cat flap can permit exit only, allow only admittance into your house, be locked fully, or be set for two way exit and entry. This offers you alternatives for all times of day and night, to have control over how your cat flap functions. The facility to carry out different functions according to the time of day, and based on yours and your pet's needs is also an option with some of the more advanced brands of cat flap.

If you've got a timber door in your home in Woodbridge, putting in a cat flap yourself should not be that hard. Although, if it needs to be fitted into a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door, you shouldn't under any circumstances even attempt to tackle it on your own. These types of fittings call for a professional installation by a reliable cat flap installer or odd job man with the appropriate equipment and skills.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN WOODBRIDGE

Double Glazing Installation - If you employ someone who attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed panel to install your new cat flap, stop them at once and request that they leave. It's simply not possible to fit a new cat flap into a double glazed door panel or window pane. Any sort of double glazed unit will be ruined by cutting or drilling into it, and will detract from its security, insulating attributes and strength. In actual fact, it makes your glazing unsound and it shouldn't ever be done.

A dependable Woodbridge cat flap installer will carefully take the measurements of your current pane and order a purpose made one from a local glazing company. This new glazed pane will have a hole cut out as an integral part of its structure where the cat flap will be installed. This could take a week or so to produce, but it is basically the only way to install a cat flap into an existing double glazed or patio door. Once your new glass pane is delivered, the installer will remove the old unit, and exchange it for the brand new "cat flap ready" one. The fitting of the cat flap will then be carried out.

External Wooden Doors - Timber door panels are, as we stated earlier, the easiest options for new cat flap installation in Woodbridge. If you are a bit nervous about creating a hole in your front or back door, you might be happier bringing in a specialist cat flap fitter or handyman instead. A project like this will not be expensive and will give you the assurance of knowing that your cat can enjoy a professionally fitted flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It is quite feasible to install a cat flap into most uPVC doors. Nevertheless, certain uPVC doors have a steel lining for added security, which could cause issues. A one-piece door panel enables easier installation, so if you've got a uPVC door that is slatted, it may be less expensive to swap the panel for a single pane style.

Wall Installation - If you do not wish to have a hole cut in your doors, whether for aesthetic or security reasons, you could opt for a cat flap to be installed in an outside wall. This sort of installation is certainly better left to a specialist, as it requires much more equipment and skill to execute. You could opt for a straight through tunnel style, or perhaps a right angled version which enables entry via a pillar. With this sort of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended tube is inserted into a square shaped hole cut out of your specified wall. Both ends of the hole are then installed with a cat flap so your feline friend can get in and out of the house whenever it desires.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Woodbridge - If your window, door or wall is already fitted with a cat flap, but it's not working, or is damaged, it's perfectly possible to fit a replacement into the existing hole. A specialist Woodbridge cat flap fitter will gladly take off your old unit and swap it for a fresh cat flap without causing any harm to the wall, door or window on which it's attached.

When the installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing pane, it will be necessary to check that this was previously done correctly, before attaching the new flap. The panel must be removed and replaced to avoid any safety and security issues, if it is found that this isn't the case and a bodge job was made of the previous installation.

FINDING A CAT FLAP INSTALLER IN WOODBRIDGE

In the Woodbridge area there are many specialist cat flap installers, handyman contractors and even local glazing suppliers who offer cat flap installation services in windows, doors or walls. It may be possible to ask friends and relations for referrals when it comes to finding an excellent cat flap installer. If they are willing to recommend a tradesman who they've used themselves, you can be sure that you will be pleased too.

Where a personal recommendation is not feasible, get 2 or 3 quotations from local Woodbridge tradesmen. Study these carefully and do not always opt for the cheapest quote, as this will often not be the best of the bunch. See if you can get written warranties for the standard of their workmanship, so if things do happen to go awry you've got some recourse.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing

Weatherproofing cat flaps is essential for the well-being and comfort of both indoor and outdoor cats. A well-weatherproofed cat flap is a crucial barrier against the elements that shields cats from rain, draughts and wind, and extreme temperatures. Their overall quality of life is improved by this protective approach, and it also contributes to their safety.

Involving the selection of design features and materials capable of withstanding different weather conditions, weatherproofing a cat flap is a meticulous process. To prevent rainwater from seeping indoors and ensuring a dry environment, high-quality seals around the cat flap edges are essential. The health and overall contentment of cats can be affected by cold draughts, which can seriously discomfort them. Felines can be protected from cold draughts and ensured to remain warm and cosy by using insulating materials as part of successful weatherproofing.

When feline companions venture outside, weatherproofing a cat flap becomes even more crucial for their cat owners. Exposure to rain, strong winds or cold temperatures can have a negative impact on a cat's health. A suitably weatherproofed cat flap becomes an important lifeline for cats, offering them a comfortable and safe entrance to their home, which is essential for their happiness and health. (42068)
