Cat Flaps In Redditch

Cat flap installation in Redditch covers several different scenarios depending on where you want the flap fitted. The most straightforward option is fitting into a uPVC or timber door, where a hole is cut to the correct size and the flap is secured in place. For a cat flap fitted in glass in Redditch, the process is different: cutting directly into an existing pane, particularly a sealed double glazed unit, is not a suitable approach. Instead, a new pane is manufactured with the hole pre-cut and prepared before the visit, and that new pane is installed in place of the existing one. This keeps the sealed unit intact and the window fully weatherproof.

When fitting a cat flap in double glazing in Redditch, the glazier supplies a new toughened glass sealed unit with the cat flap aperture already incorporated. Toughened glass is required for safety and compliance, and the sealed unit ensures that insulation performance is not reduced. You can choose from a range of flap types, including microchip cat flaps that only allow your own pet to enter, locking cat flaps that can be secured at night, and standard magnetic flaps. A cat flap can also be fitted into a wall, which is sometimes the preferred option where no suitable door or glazed panel is available. For all Window Glazing work carried out in Redditch, including cat flap glass units, our vans carry stock that can be cut and prepared on site so that the majority of jobs are completed without a second visit.
