Cat Flaps In Stirling

Cat flap fitting covers several different scenarios depending on where you want the flap positioned and what the surrounding material is. The most straightforward option is fitting into a solid timber or uPVC door, where a hole is cut to the correct size, the flap is seated and secured, and the job is typically completed quickly. Fitting a pet door into a wall is more involved but follows a similar principle: a clean aperture is formed, the flap is installed, and any gaps around the fitting are sealed.

Cat flap fitted in glass in Stirling is a more specialist task. You cannot simply cut into an existing sealed double glazed unit without compromising the seal between the panes, which leads to misting and heat loss. Instead, a cat flap glazier in Stirling will measure the existing frame, produce a new toughened glass sealed unit with the cat flap hole pre-cut and the flap factory-fitted, and then install that new unit into your existing frame. The result is a double glazed cat flap installation that is fully weatherproof and thermally efficient from day one. For homes in Stirling covered under our Window Glazing service, this process fits naturally within the broader glazing work we carry out across the city.

When it comes to choosing a flap, we can advise on the full range of options. A microchip cat flap uses your pet’s implanted chip to control entry and exit, which prevents neighbouring cats from coming in. A locking cat flap allows you to restrict movement at certain times. Both types are available in sizes to suit cats and smaller dogs, and both can be fitted into glass, doors, or walls. Our glaziers will assess your situation on site and recommend the most practical solution for your home.
