Cat Flaps In Newtownabbey

Cat flap fitting in Newtownabbey 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 clean aperture is cut and the flap unit is secured and sealed. If you want a cat flap fitted in glass in Newtownabbey, the process is different and requires specialist knowledge. A glazier cannot simply cut into an existing sealed unit without breaking the airtight seal, so instead a new pane is manufactured with the hole pre-cut and the flap fitted before installation. This new unit is then installed into your existing window frame, leaving the glass weatherproof and thermally efficient. For Double Glazing specifically, the replacement unit is made from toughened glass to meet safety standards, and the double glazed cat flap performs exactly as the original sealed unit did.

When it comes to the type of flap, there are several options to consider. A standard locking cat flap gives you manual control over entry and exit. A microchip cat flap reads your pet’s implanted chip and only unlocks for registered animals, which is a practical choice in areas like Glengormley or Jordanstown where neighbouring cats can be a nuisance. Tunnel extensions are available where the glass or wall is thicker than the standard flap depth. Whatever your property type, from a newer build on one of Newtownabbey’s modern estates to an older semi-detached with original window frames, our vans carry the materials to complete the work on site in most cases.
