How to Fit a Catflap In a Composite Traditional Door
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
DESCRIPTION
Owning a cat can be one of the most rewarding experiences in a person’s life. For families, they are also wonderful for teaching younger and older children about responsibility and for bringing families together. They are also, however, wildly individual creatures who value their freedom as highly as they do their domesticity. For this reason, if you’re going to own a cat, you are probably going to want to invest in a catflap for your front or rear external doors. Catflaps can be fitted to any door style (UPVC Door, Wooden Door, Glass Door, Composite Door).
Composite doors are generally built to be more weatherproof, secure and energy efficient than standard doors, which means it can be more difficult to make any DIY alterations, but not impossible. All composite doors are different and built from various mixes of wood, uPVC and metal, so please consult the manufacturers if possible and also, if possible, consult a professional joiner before even considering the job as making any alterations to a composite door can invalidate your warranty or break the weathertight seal. If it can be done, the process is very similar to the process for fitting in a uPVC door.

Thanks for your comment. The catflap was installed as the client requested. Always do as client request event when the given advice is not followed.
Now just put the door other way around so flap will be on right way :) 👍

Thanks for your comment. This model has a sealant rubber around it that why I didn't mention it, but very good point. It is always good to be on the save part, so adding an additional Ct1 sealant is also fine.
Very interesting video

Thank you! Cheers!
So you have to be outside to set the controls, and the cat needs a chip to LEAVE the house, but all strays may enter !! LOL

The client is not always right and you should take the time to explain why the flap shouldn’t be installed backwards. If that was the case and it wasn’t a mistake I wouldnt tarnish my reputation by putting my work online
