Cat Flaps In Cheltenham

Cat flap fitting in Cheltenham covers a range of scenarios depending on where you want the flap positioned and what the surrounding material is. The most straightforward installations go into a solid uPVC or timber door panel, where a hole is cut to the manufacturer’s specification and the flap is secured in place. Where a door has a glazed panel, or where you want the flap positioned in a window, the process is different and requires a glazier rather than a general handyman.

For a cat flap in glass, a brand new pane is cut and prepared with the aperture already in place before the glazier arrives. This is particularly important for double glazing: cutting into an existing sealed unit to fit a cat flap would destroy the gas-filled seal and lead to condensation between the panes. Instead, a new toughened glass sealed unit is manufactured with the flap hole pre-cut, and that unit is installed directly into your existing frame. Montrose Glass vans are stocked with glass that can be cut and prepared on site, meaning many cat flap fitted in glass jobs in Cheltenham are completed in a single visit.

When it comes to the type of flap itself, the options include standard locking cat flaps, selective entry flaps, and microchip cat flaps that only open for your registered pet. A cat flap glazier in Cheltenham can advise on which type suits your circumstances during the on-site assessment. If you also need advice on your existing Double Glazing, the glazier can assess that at the same time.
