As Cat Flap Fitters We Fit All Types of Cat Flaps
Into Double Glazing Glass

• When fitting cat flap into glass or double
  glazing it is vital that you purchase a glass
  fitting cat flap. The vent hole cut into the
  glass is circular and needs to be perfectly
  sealed so only a glass fitting cat flap will
  ensure that no rain get in. The Classic cat
  flap although cheap to purchase has one main
  disadvantage, it can allow in unwanted cats  as
  well as your own. Locking cat flap will give
  extra security, this type of cat flap gives you
  options to set as in-only and out-only. This
  is great in bad weather and for keeping out other
  creatures but not ideal in allowing your cat the
  freedom to come in and out.

How to Train Your Cat to Use a Cat Flap

• Squeezing through tight gaps may come natural to
  some cats but please beware that patience is
  needed to get your moggie to adapt to the new
  doorway. All cats have different personalities
  and will learn to use the new cat flap at their
  own pace some will get it quickly, others will
  need a little more time and some encouragement.
  We suggest you prop open the doorway with tape or
  use clothes pegs, this will make it easy for the
  cat to pass through.
•  
• Call them from the other side of the cat flap
  this will encourage them to pass through.
•  
• Try luring them through by offering them on of
  their favorite treats this in our experience is
  the quickest route to success.

AdviceCat Flap Installation Advice

• Why can you not fit into my existing
  double glazing?
• ?
• Regretfully a new double glazed unit would be
  required rather than fitting to existing glass.
• ?
• Double glazing cannot be modified as glass is
  toughened and air tight and are made to measure.
• ?
• We will always require the width height and
  cavity of the double glazed unit
• ?
• This unit is then made by a specialist
  double-glazed unit manufacturer. The glass must
  have the cut-out for the cat flap made in both
  pieces of glass before they go to be toughened.
  The double glazing manufacturers will handle all
  of this.Building regulations require a 50 mm
  gap to the edge of the glass for your cat flap
  hole cut to maintain it integrity.

Why Cant You Cut a Cat Flap Into a Composite
Door?

• A question we are often asked by clients is why
  do we not fit cat flaps into composite doors?
• ?
• We would not cut into them number of reasons,
  including that it could invalidate the warranty
  and that the cat flap opening in my experience is
  very difficult to seal to manufacturer
  standard.Composite doors are much more energy
  efficient and water resistant than standard
  doors. They are made to be more secure than other
  door types and feature hardwood timber and robust
  colored thermo-plastic skins.
•  
• This built in sturdiness rules out any DIY
  alternation in our opinion.

Where to mount  a cat flap also needs some
consideration.

• Your Cat flap is recommended to be 1.5cm  from
  the bottom of your surface you are fitting it to.
• Decide where you want to locate the flap, ask
  yourself these questions
• ?
• Do you need to fit a tunnel or a run for the cat.
• Is there a soft landing for the cat the other
  side
• What is the height of the drop the other side.
• Do you need to consider vehicle traffic outside
  your home, or pavement footfall.
• Consider the age of the cat.
•  
• Average size cat flaps are 21 cm wide where as
  the largest is 29cm therefore check before you
  purchase, consider age, height, breed and
  temperament.
