Cat Flaps In Argyll and Bute

Cat flap installation in Argyll and Bute can involve several different surfaces depending on where you want the flap positioned. The most straightforward option is fitting into a uPVC or timber door, where the aperture is cut directly into the panel. Fitting a cat flap in glass, however, requires a different approach. Glass cannot simply be drilled or cut on site once it is installed in a frame, particularly if it is toughened or part of a sealed double glazed unit. For single glazing, a glazier will measure the pane, cut a replacement with the aperture already prepared, and fit it into the existing frame. For a cat flap in double glazing in Argyll and Bute, the process involves supplying a brand new sealed unit with the cat flap hole pre-cut and the flap fitted at the manufacturing stage, then installing that unit into your existing frame.

Our vans are stocked with glass that can be cut and prepared for many standard sizes, allowing a large number of jobs to be completed on the same visit without delay. When it comes to flap type, you have a choice that suits your pet’s needs and your security requirements. A microchip cat flap reads your pet’s existing microchip so only your cat can enter, while a locking cat flap allows you to manually secure the flap at night or when needed. Selective entry flaps and those with timers are also available. A pet door installation in Argyll and Bute can also be carried out into a wall cavity if a door or window position is not suitable, though this is a more involved process and will be assessed on site. Our Window Glazing service across Argyll and Bute covers the full range of glass types and frame materials, so the same team handling your cat flap can advise on any related glazing work at the same time.
