Cat Flaps In Walsall

Cat flap installation in Walsall covers several different scenarios depending on the construction of your home and where you want the flap positioned. The most straightforward option is fitting a pet door into a solid timber or uPVC door, where a hole is cut to the correct dimensions and the flap is secured in place. For properties with single glazed windows or glass panels in a door, a hole can be cut directly into the glass, though this is only possible with certain glass types. Our vans are stocked with glass that can be cut and prepared on site, so many cat flap in glass jobs are completed in a single visit.

For cat flap in double glazing in Walsall, the process is different and more involved. A glazier cannot simply cut into an existing sealed double glazed unit because doing so breaks the hermetic seal, which causes the unit to mist between the panes and lose its thermal efficiency. Instead, Montrose Glass supplies a new toughened glass sealed unit with the cat flap hole already measured and prepared. This new double glazed cat flap unit is then installed into your existing frame, keeping the window fully weatherproof and thermally efficient. We can also advise on microchip cat flaps, which only open for your registered pet, and locking cat flaps that give you control over when your cat can come and go. For Double Glazing advice specific to your property in Walsall, our glaziers can walk you through the options during the on-site assessment.

Wall installations are also possible where a door or window is not practical. This involves cutting through the masonry and fitting a tunnel to bridge the wall thickness, with the cat flap secured on the exterior face. Whatever your property type, from a Caldmore terrace to a newer build on the Aldridge Road, we will identify the most practical and secure solution for pet door installation in Walsall.
