Cat Flaps In Sutton

Cat flap installation in Sutton varies depending on where the flap is being fitted. In a uPVC or timber door, the process involves cutting a precise aperture and securing the flap unit into the panel. For a cat flap in glass, whether single or double glazed, the approach is different. Cutting directly into an existing sealed double glazed unit breaks the hermetic seal, which causes the unit to mist between the panes and fails to meet current thermal performance standards. Instead, a glazier measures the existing frame and supplies a new toughened glass sealed unit with the cat flap already factory-fitted into it. This replacement unit is then installed into your existing frame, leaving the window fully weatherproof and thermally efficient.

For Sutton properties with older single glazing, glass cutting on site is often straightforward, and many jobs are completed the same day using stock carried in our vans. If your home has a double glazed cat flap requirement, the new sealed unit is prepared in advance once measurements are confirmed. Microchip cat flaps are increasingly popular in areas like Sutton where multiple cats or urban wildlife are a factor. A microchip cat flap reads your cat’s existing microchip and only unlocks for registered animals, removing the need for a collar tag. Locking cat flaps offer a manual override, useful for keeping cats in overnight or during travel. Whatever the configuration, Montrose Glass will confirm the right flap type and fitting method during the on-site assessment.
