Cat Flaps In Kingston Upon Thames

Cat flap fitting in Kingston upon Thames covers several different installation types depending on where you want the flap positioned. The most straightforward option is fitting a pet door into a uPVC or timber door, where the panel is cut to the required size and the flap unit is secured into the opening. For solid walls, the process involves cutting through the wall and fitting a tunnel-style unit to bridge the depth.

When it comes to a cat flap fitted in glass in Kingston upon Thames, the process is different. Glass, particularly toughened glass, cannot be cut after it has been toughened, so a new pane is measured, ordered or cut from stock, and the hole is pre-cut before toughening or during the glass preparation stage. For a double glazed cat flap in Kingston upon Thames, the glazier supplies a complete new sealed unit with the flap already incorporated, which is then fitted into your existing frame. This means the sealed unit is not compromised and the thermal and acoustic performance of the window is preserved.

You can choose from several flap types depending on your needs. A microchip cat flap reads your pet’s implanted microchip and only unlocks for registered animals, which is useful in areas where neighbouring cats are a problem. A locking cat flap gives you manual control over entry and exit times. Standard magnetic flaps offer a simpler, lower-cost option. A glazier will advise on which type suits your frame and glass type during the on-site assessment. For wider context on the glazing services available locally, visit our Window Glazing page.
