Cat Flaps In Tynemouth

Cutting into an existing sealed double glazed unit is not a viable option. Once the seal is broken, the insulating gas between the panes escapes and moisture begins to enter, resulting in the persistent internal misting that cannot be cleaned away. A compromised sealed unit also loses its thermal performance, which in a coastal location like Tynemouth, where easterly winds off the North Sea make draughts a real problem, means higher energy costs and a less comfortable home. Attempting to cut a cat flap into an existing double glazed unit will always lead to this outcome, regardless of how carefully it is done.

An ill-fitting cat flap, or one that has been installed without properly sealing the edges, creates gaps that let in draughts, rainwater, and cold air. Tynemouth’s seafront and clifftop properties in particular are exposed to wind and weather in a way that inland locations are not, making a weatherproof, professionally fitted installation particularly important. For cat flap fitted in glass in Tynemouth, Montrose Glass supplies a new toughened glass unit with the flap correctly fitted and sealed before installation, so the finished result is structurally sound and properly weatherproofed. This is why using a qualified cat flap glazier in Tynemouth, rather than attempting a DIY fix, protects the long-term condition of your window and your home.
