Cat Flaps In Nuneaton

Cat flap fitting in Nuneaton covers several different scenarios depending on the type of material the flap is being fitted into. The most common options are a uPVC or timber door, a single glazed panel, a sealed double glazed unit, or a wall. Each requires a different approach, and a professional glazier will assess your property and recommend the most practical solution before any work begins.

For a cat flap in glass, whether single or double glazed, the process involves supplying a new pane with a hole pre-cut to the correct size. Cutting directly into an existing sealed double glazed unit is not a viable option because it immediately breaks the seal and leads to misting between the panes. Instead, Montrose Glass manufactures a new toughened glass unit with the pet door already fitted, which is then installed into your existing frame. This approach keeps the double glazed cat flap properly sealed and weatherproof from day one. For doors, the flap is fitted directly into the panel material, with the opening cut cleanly and the frame secured to prevent draughts and water ingress.

When it comes to choosing the right cat flap, there are several options to consider. A microchip cat flap reads your cat’s implanted microchip and only unlocks for registered pets, which is a practical choice if you have problems with neighbouring cats entering the house. A locking cat flap gives you manual control over when your pet can come and go. Standard flap designs are also available at a lower cost. A Montrose Glass glazier will discuss the options with you on site and help you select the flap type that suits your household before any glass cutting or fitting takes place.
