Cat Flaps In Macclesfield

Cat flap fitting in Macclesfield covers a range of installation types depending on where you want the flap positioned. The most straightforward installations are into uPVC or timber doors, where a hole is cut to the correct dimensions and the flap is fitted and sealed. For walls, a longer tunnel liner is used to bridge the thickness of the masonry. Glass installations, including cat flap fitted in glass in Macclesfield, require a different approach and a higher level of skill.

When fitting a cat flap into single glazing, the glass is carefully cut on site using specialist cutting tools. For a cat flap in double glazing in Macclesfield, it is not possible to cut into an existing sealed unit without destroying the seal. Instead, Montrose Glass supplies a new toughened glass unit with the cat flap already incorporated at the factory. Our glaziers measure the existing frame, order or prepare the correct sealed unit, and fit it so the window remains fully weatherproof. Our vans are stocked with glass that can be cut and prepared for many jobs, meaning a large number of installations are completed during the first visit without a return trip.

In terms of flap type, you can choose from a standard locking cat flap, a four-way locking cat flap that gives you control over entry and exit, or a microchip cat flap that reads your pet’s microchip and only opens for registered animals. A microchip cat flap is particularly useful in denser residential areas like Hurdsfield or Weston, where neighbouring cats may otherwise wander in. Your glazier will advise on which type suits your door or glass panel and your pet’s needs. Pet door installation in Macclesfield also covers larger flaps suitable for small dogs, and our glaziers can advise on sizing during the on-site assessment.
