FAQs: Cat Flap Installation in a Double Glazed Unit, Window or Door

Question: How long does it take to install a cat flap in a single or double glazed door, and what’s the process?

Answer:

Our cat flap installation process is precise and hassle-free. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Site Visit & Glass Measurement
   We’ll arrange a visit to your home or property at a convenient time. During the visit, we’ll take exact measurements of your current glass panel and assess any patterned or obscure glass types. If your glass style is discontinued, we’ll suggest a suitable alternative.
2. Glass Cutting & Cat Flap Preparation
   We custom-cut two new panels of 4mm float glass—either plain or with your chosen pattern. We then cut a hole in both layers to fit the specific cat flap or dog flap model you’ve selected. These glass panels are then sent for toughening to meet safety standards.
3. Glass Toughening & Turnaround Time
   Your toughened cat flap glass is typically ready for collection within 3–5 working days, depending on the glass supplier’s schedule.
4. Sealed Double Glazed Unit Creation/Manufactruing 
   Once toughened, the glass is sealed into a double glazed unit with the hole precisely positioned for the flap.
5. Installation Appointment
   We’ll return at a time that suits you to install the new double glazed unit in place of the old one.
6. Final Cat Flap Installation
   The cat flap (or dog flap) is securely installed on-site into the pre-prepared glass unit. Your pet can start using it immediately!

Question
Can you install the cat flap in my existing double glazed unit?
Answer: No - The glass in the door should already be toughened and you can not cut toughened glass, so we will need to replace the unit (worth hanging on to the double glazed unit we take ut as should you move or need to put this back at a later date will save you some money).

Question
I already have toughened glass in my door can you install the new catflap in that?
Answer: Im afraid not as the glass is already toughened when you try to cut it, the glass breaks in to hundreds and thousands of prices.

Question
Can I buy any cat flap/catflap?
Answer: No - The cat flap/catflap must be glass fitting and circular as it is very expensive to cut a square hole, although not impossible.

Question
