Catflap installation
Cat Flap Installation in Taunton, Somerset
Giving your cat the freedom to come and go can make life easier for both you and your pet. However, installing a cat flap correctly is particularly important when it needs to be fitted into a **uPVC door, glass door or double glazed unit**.
**Windows, Doors & More provides professional cat flap installation in Taunton and surrounding areas of Somerset**, offering a neat and practical solution for homeowners who want to add a cat flap to an existing door or suitable window.
Professional Cat Flap Installation in Taunton
Installing a cat flap can be more complicated than simply cutting a hole in a door. The correct installation method depends on the construction of the door, the material involved and the type of cat flap being fitted.
Windows, Doors & More can help with cat flap installation into:
- uPVC doors
- Wooden doors
- Suitable glass doors and windows
- Double glazed units
- Suitable door panels
Having your cat flap professionally installed helps ensure a neat finish and reduces the risk of unnecessary damage to your door or glazing.
Cat Flaps in Double Glazing
Installing a cat flap into **double glazing** requires a different approach from fitting one into a wooden door.
Existing toughened double glazed glass cannot normally simply be cut to create a hole for the cat flap. Instead, a suitable replacement glazed unit can be produced with the required opening incorporated into the glass.
As specialists in **windows, doors and replacement glazing**, Windows, Doors & More can provide an appropriate solution for customers wanting a cat flap installed into glass.
This allows you to add convenient access for your pet while maintaining a professional appearance.
Cat Flap Installation in uPVC Doors
Many homes throughout Taunton and Somerset have uPVC entrance or back doors, making **cat flap installation in uPVC doors** a popular choice.
The suitability of a particular door will depend on its design and construction. A cat flap may be installed into an appropriate uPVC panel, while doors containing glass may require a replacement glazed unit designed specifically to accommodate the cat flap.
We can assess your existing door and advise on the best installation method.
This means you do not necessarily need to replace the complete door simply because you want to install a cat flap.
Cat Flaps in Wooden Doors
Wooden doors can also provide an excellent location for a cat flap.
Professional installation ensures that the opening is correctly positioned and neatly finished. Careful fitting is particularly important to help preserve the appearance and operation of the existing door.
Windows, Doors & More can assess your wooden door and determine whether it is suitable for the type and size of cat flap you would like installed.
Microchip Cat Flap Installation
Modern cat flaps can offer considerably more functionality than traditional manually operated models.
A **microchip cat flap** can recognise your pet’s existing identification microchip and only unlock for authorised cats. This can help prevent neighbouring cats and other unwanted animals from entering your home through the cat flap.
Depending on the model, electronic cat flaps may also offer features such as selective entry, locking schedules or additional access controls.
Windows, Doors & More can install suitable **standard, locking and microchip cat flaps**, providing a professional installation for your chosen product.
Where Should I Install My Cat Flap?
The best position for a cat flap depends on your home, your cat and the construction of your doors and windows.
A back or side door is often the most convenient option, but this is not always possible. In some properties, installation into a glazed door or suitable window may provide a better solution.
Before work begins, factors such as the material, glazing, door construction and appropriate height for your pet should be considered.
Windows, Doors & More can inspect the proposed location and advise whether it is suitable.
Replacing Glass for a Cat Flap
If you want a cat flap installed into a double glazed door or window, it may be necessary to **replace the existing glass with a new glazed unit manufactured with a suitable opening**.
This is where choosing a company experienced in both glazing and cat flap installation can be particularly useful.
Windows, Doors & More provides replacement glazing services alongside window and door repairs, allowing us to deal with the glazing requirements associated with the installation.
The result is a much neater solution than attempting unsuitable alterations to an existing glass unit.
Moving Home with a Cat Flap
If you have installed a cat flap into a replacement glazed unit, you may wish to consider keeping the original glass.
Subject to its condition and suitability, retaining the original unit could give you the option of restoring the door or window at a later date.
This can be particularly useful if you decide to move home or simply no longer require the cat flap.
Ask us about the options available when arranging your installation.
Cat Flap Installation as Part of Door Repairs
Sometimes installing a cat flap provides a good opportunity to address other problems with your door.
If your door is difficult to close, has a faulty handle, suffers from draughts or has a locking problem, Windows, Doors & More can investigate these issues as part of our wider **door repair and locksmith services**.
Rather than arranging separate companies for the cat flap, glazing and door repairs, you can have the different requirements assessed by one local business.
