Cat Flaps In Hemel Hempstead

Cat flap fitting in Hemel Hempstead covers several different scenarios depending on where you want the flap positioned. If you want a pet door in a timber or uPVC door, the panel can often be cut and the flap fitted directly. For a wall installation, the process involves cutting through the masonry and fitting a tunnel flap to bridge the wall thickness. For glass installations, the approach is different and it is important to understand why.

When a cat flap in glass is required, a glazier does not cut into your existing pane. Instead, a new glass pane is measured, cut, and prepared with the cat flap hole already in it before installation. For a double glazed cat flap installation, this means a complete new sealed unit is manufactured with the flap fitted into one pane, so the insulating seal between the two panes of glass is never compromised. The unit is then installed into your existing frame, restoring the window to full working order. Montrose Glass stocks glass that can be cut and prepared on site, and for many straightforward jobs the glazier arrives with everything needed to complete the work in one visit. You can also choose from different flap types at the point of assessment, including a microchip cat flap that only opens for your registered pet, a locking cat flap with manual settings, or a standard four-way locking model. A good Window Glazing specialist will advise on which option suits your frame type and budget before any work begins.
