Installing Pet Flaps Into Double Glazing
If you’re considering installing a pet flap into double glazing, you should not undertake the project yourself. A pet flap cannot be installed into existing double glazing; a new sealed unit has to be manufactured and the hole for the pet flap is cut into the two sheets of glass during manufacture. The glass is then toughened in a big furnace before the two sheets of glass are assembled into the new sealed unit.
If you were to try to cut into existing glass, it will shatter into millions of pieces (like a car windscreen does when it breaks) as all glass has to be toughened safety glass by law. At Pet Flaps UK, we are experts in all kinds of pet flap installations, and we use manufacturers of new sealed units who work to the highest standards. If you’re considering installing a pet flap into double glazing, don’t try to do it yourself – call our friendly, knowledgeable team.
