Window With Cat Flap

Cats enjoy watching out of windows. This is sometimes called cat TV. It is a type of entertainment that is often instinctual.
Glass window inserts with a cat flap can be fitted to existing windows or doors. They can be installed in double-glazed.
Easy to Fit
Cat flaps can be fitted to all types of doors and windows made of glass including single glazing, double glazing and french doors and patio doors, bifold doors and leaded units. These are perfect for people who do not want to cut into their walls or doors to allow access to their pet through a window. But, you must be aware that putting the cat flap inside windows or doors made of glass is not something that is easily done without the help of a professional glazier.
If you decide to put the cat flap inside an existing door or new door or window it must be made from toughened safety glass for security reasons. This means that it cannot be cut, and you will require a new pane glass with a pre-cut hole for the cat flap. A glazier comes to your home to take measurements and then install the new pane.
They will ensure there is a sufficient gap to stop burglars and other cats from getting into. It is also a good idea to install the sensor close to the hinge of the catflap, so that it has to open a fair distance before it triggers. This will prevent it from being activated by additional swings and prevent your cat from simply moving the flap to get inside.
If you have a sash window, the installer may need to take it off prior to installing the cat flap and will need to determine whether the area is suitable for installation of a pet flap. Older styles of sash windows which use putty rather than beading are not ideal for a pet-friendly flap since they are too narrow to support it and there is little space between the two pieces of glass.
It is a good idea when the installation is completed, to lock the catflap with bolts or latches. This will keep your pet from going out unattended. This will stop your cat from entering places they shouldn't and give you assurance that your pet is safe even when you're away.
Secure
The best way to protect windows is to use a locking system that prevents windows from opening. You can also use shutters or security bars to block access. Window locks can be purchased at most home improvement stores and can be easily fitted into your windows. They can be easily opened, but are typically extremely fragile. You should consider upgrading to a more durable lock or a shutter for additional security.
Installing double glazing cat flap into a window can be an ideal option for those who do not want to cut a hole through the wall or wooden door, but still would like their pet to have an entrance. Modern cat flaps come in a variety of sizes and features that let you control the time that the flap is used for instance, locking it at night or allowing the use of only 'in. They can be incorporated into double glazing, as well. If you wish to have a cat flap fitted into your triple glazing, it is vital to hire a professional installation expert. This is because it requires a brand new sealed unit to be constructed and the hole for the pet flap has to be cut in two glass sheets during the process of manufacturing.
If you have windows that are too high to put a cat door into, then you can add an incline, step or specially designed stairs to allow your pet access. These are a good alternative to traditional cat doors and can be adjusted as your cats grow older.
You can also enhance the security of your window by installing the burglar alarm. These are often combined with a motion sensor that will trigger an alarm if an intruder attempts to enter your home through the window. Some burglars will even try to climb a tree through a window, so ensure that the branches of trees are trimmed back and cannot be used to gain entry to your property through a second floor window.
Upvc windows are usually safe when closed. The lock uPVC secures the casement to the frame. When the window is locked in vent mode there is a tiny gap between the frame and the window. But, it's too tiny for anything rigid to pass through.

The most well-known windows with cat flaps are sash windows, that can be opened and closed by sliding the sash either side of the frame. They are available in a variety of sizes and styles, and are installed by a skilled glazier. They don't offer the same level of security as the solid door or multi-point lock, and they are not suitable for large dogs.
In certain cases, you might be able to insert an anchor screw into the frame of the glass to avoid it from being lifted. This is often done on older style windows and is a great idea. However, it does leave a small gap in the frame of the window that could be observed by anyone who wanted to use the glass for anything else. The small hole can be covered by caulking it.
Window models are also available with sliding tamper-proof doors that are more secure and easy to maintain. These doors can be set up on-site or by professionals. They are ideal for horizontal sliding windows and sash windows. They are designed to be used with existing single-glazed doors and thin panels, and can be used with new double-glazing as well.
