Can you put a cat flap or dog door into glass?
When installing a pet flap, each person has their own specific needs. However, it is common for homeowners or renters to want to install their pet flaps into doors or windows, as opposed to permanent structures like walls. You can simply replace your glass, and it will be as though your pet flap was never there. On top of that, many pet owners claim that their pets find it easier to use a pet flap when they can see through the area surrounding the entry. So, installing a cat or dog flap in your glass door may be an especially appealing option if you’re just introducing your dog or cat to pet flaps.
Pet Flaps UK installs pet flaps into glass doors across the UK. We can install pet flaps into glass doors quickly and efficiently while following all of the most stringent safety procedures.
All our replacement glass conforms to BS EN12150 which ensures that it is robust enough to withstand the compromise of a hole to its integrity. All our glazing bears the relevant Kitemark warranty. Glass of lesser standards can break into lethal shards; one should be very cautious of seemingly inexpensive quotes.
Protect your home and ensure your pet’s safety with one of the UK’s premier cat and dog flap installers. Learn more by scheduling a complimentary, no-obligation consultation with the Pet Flaps UK team today!
Why Is the Glass Replaced During Pet Door Installation?
Homeowners often wonder why we can’t simply cut a hole in their existing glass door and install the cat flap. While this would be nice, there is a good reason that that is impossible. Legally, any glass in a home must be graded as safety glass. This type of glass is toughened in a way that prevents cutting, even with the use of special tools and equipment. So, the only way to install a new cat or dog flap is to replace the glass panel with a new one. In your new panel of glass, the hole for the pet door is cut before the tempering process, allowing it to fit the specs we need while being as safe as any other glass door you may buy off the shelf.

How we work
When it comes to installing pet flaps in glass, we use a very special process that ensures high-quality results every time. There are four steps involved in that process that span from the initial on-site assessment to the first time your furry family member walks through their new pet flap. These steps include:
1.
2.
3.
Manufacturing New Glass Panel
We will manaufacture a new pane of glass that perfectly fits your door’s specifications, including where the pet flap will go.
During this process we temper the glass making it four to five times more durable than untempered glass. This tempering process is performed twice on double-glazed glass.
4.
Replace Your Door’s Glass
We return to your home, remove your existing glass panel, and replace it with a new one. This new glass will fit your door just like new, except it will have a hole placed perfectly for your pet flap.
5.
Installation of the Pet Flap
With the new panel of glass placed, we can install the pet flap to allow your pet to come and go anytime.
We will perform a full fitting and assessment to ensure it works correctly and that you and your pet are satisfied with our work.
