Glass window inserts that have cat flaps to existing doors or windows. They can also be incorporated to double-glazing.
Easy to Fit
You can get cat flaps fitted to all types of doors and windows made of glass including single glazing, double glazing and french doors, patio doors, bifold doors, and leaded units. They are great for people who don't want to cut into a door or wall and wish to allow their pet access to a window. However, you should be aware that installing the cat flap inside windows or doors made of glass isn't something that can be done and requires the help of a professional glazier.
If you decide to install the cat flap on an existing door or new door or window it must be made from toughened safety glass to ensure safety.

They will ensure that the gap is tight enough to prevent burglars and other cats from getting in. Installing the sensor near the hinge of the flap will ensure that it must open for a long time before the sensor is triggered. This will stop it from being triggered by additional swings and prevent your cat from simply moving the flap to gain access.
If you have a sash window, the installer may need to remove it before installing the cat flap. The installer will have to determine if the space is suitable for the installation of a pet flap. Older styles of sash windows that use putty rather than beading are generally not suitable for a pet-friendly flap since they are too narrow to accommodate the flap and there isn't much room between the two areas of glass.
