  • Electro-Magnetic Cat Flap: Activated by a magnet on your cat's collar, this type provides an added layer of security, ensuring that only your cat can enter.
  • Microchip Cat Flap: This advanced option is activated by a microchip implanted in your cat, offering a high level of security and convenience. It ensures that only your cat can use the flap, preventing unwanted animals from entering.

How long does the installation process take?

The installation process can vary depending on the type of door or window and the specific cat flap model. Generally, it takes a few hours to complete the installation, including the time needed to measure, prepare, and fit the new panel or cat flap. Our team works efficiently to ensure minimal disruption to your home.

Can cat flaps be installed in double-glazed windows?

Yes, cat flaps can be installed in double-glazed windows. This process involves creating a custom double-glazed unit with a built-in cat flap. Our team ensures that the integrity of the double-glazing is maintained, providing an efficient and secure solution for your home.

What maintenance is required for a cat flap?

Maintenance for a cat flap is generally minimal but essential for long-term functionality. Regularly clean the flap and surrounding area to prevent dirt and debris buildup.
