What Does Cat Flap Installation in Reading Involve?

Cat flap fitting in Reading 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 panel, where the material can be cut cleanly and a correctly sized flap sealed and secured in place. If you want a cat flap fitted in glass in Reading, the process is different and requires more precision. Glass cannot simply be drilled or cut on site without risk of cracking, so for single glazing a glazier will measure the existing pane, cut a new piece of glass with the aperture already prepared, and fit it in place of the original. Our vans are stocked with glass that can be cut and prepared on site, which means many jobs are completed in a single visit without the need to order parts and return.

For cat flap in double glazing in Reading, the approach changes again. A sealed unit cannot be modified once it has been manufactured without breaking the airtight seal between the panes, so a new toughened glass sealed unit is made with the cat flap aperture incorporated before installation. This unit is then fitted directly into your existing frame. Montrose Glass can advise on the full range of flap types available, including microchip cat flaps that only open for your registered pets, locking cat flaps for added security, and standard manual options. A glazier will discuss which type suits your situation and measure accurately before any work begins. For a broader overview of our local work, visit our Window Glazing page.

Why Does Professional Cat Flap Fitting Matter in Reading?

Attempting to cut into an existing sealed double glazed unit yourself, or using an unqualified fitter, is one of the most common causes of misted, draughty windows in Reading homes. Once the seal on a double glazed unit is broken, moisture enters the cavity between the panes and the insulating gas is lost. The result is permanent condensation between the glass that cannot be cleaned or reversed without replacing the unit entirely. An ill-fitted cat flap compounds this by leaving gaps around the aperture that allow cold air, rain and draughts into the home, which is a particular concern in older Reading properties where the existing glazing is already working harder to retain heat.

Professional cat flap installation in Reading avoids these problems from the outset. When Montrose Glass fits a double glazed cat flap, a new toughened glass sealed unit is supplied with the flap incorporated at manufacture, so the unit arrives on site ready to install without any on-site glass cutting to the sealed element. The frame seal is maintained, the thermal performance of the window is preserved, and the flap itself is correctly bedded to prevent water ingress. For properties in Reading with existing double glazing that needs attention alongside a new cat flap, our Double Glazing service covers full unit replacements and upgrades. Using a qualified cat flap glazier in Reading also matters for toughened glass installations, where incorrect cutting technique can cause the pane to shatter. Our glaziers are trained and equipped to work safely with all glass types.

Montrose Glass have experience in installing cat flaps for windows in Reading to give your pet a custom entrance to your home where needed.

We used Montrose Glass for a construction project in London recently. They were fantastic. Service was great, as was the workmanship. The 2 glaziers are a credit to the company. Also, they turned up and carried out the works during heavy snowfall without complaint. We would definitely recommend them.

I needed to get some work done for quite a while on my house, but kept putting it off - after a couple of calls to Montrose Glass I felt comfortable discussing it and they made it so easy and simple that I\'ve decided to get it all sorted. Great service and I have already got them quoting my mums house and will have no worries referring them on in the future.
