Cat Flap Porch Installation

Install a Cat Flap in Your Porch

The porch is one of the best places for a cat flap or dog door, especially for pets that like to come and go as they please or explore their neighbourhood. At Pet Flaps UK, we have the professionals and tools to help you install the perfect cat flap for you.

The Benefits of Installing a Cat Flap in a Porch

  1. More Freedom. Cats often can’t decide if they want to be inside or out. A cat door makes this their problem. They can be wherever they like, without bothering you to open the door.
  2. Your Cat Won’t Wake You Up. Cats often don’t stop meowing or changing their minds at night. This leaves a lot of cat owners helpless and sleepless, and a cat flap solves this problem.
  3. Your Cat Will be Healthier and Happier. Cats with cat flaps often get more exercise. This lessens the chance of them getting diabetes or other weight-related issues. Cats who exercise are also happier and more content with their lives.
  4. Cat flaps allow cats to come inside and hide if there is a predator chasing them, and some of our high-tech cat flaps prevent other animals from using the cat flap.

Can Any Type of Cat Flap Be Used in a Porch?

Nearly any type of cat flap works very well for a porch. The cat flap you choose will depend on the type of door and measurements.

Which Cat Flap Is Best for the Porch?

The cat flap that we recommend for the porch, or any entryway from the inside to the outside, is the microchip cat flap. This flap selectively lets your pets, and only your pets into your home. The flap reads your pet’s microchip, and unlocks the flap, allowing your pet to come in.

This is a great option, as it doesn’t let strays, wild animals, or burglars have access to your home. You can also adjust it so you can let your cats in and out, but make your dogs stay inside. If you have a pet that recently had surgery and can’t go outside, that pet’s microchip information can be temporarily disabled. It is the perfect customizable pet flap!

Can a Cat Flap Be Installed in a Porch With uPVC Doors?

A cat flap can be installed in a porch with uPVC doors. Our specialists at Pet Flaps UK are highly trained to install pet flaps into many materials, including uPVC doors. Pet flaps in uPVC doors are a great option, as they are easy to clean and maintain. Because of the extra support from the uPVC panel, we can install these flaps into spaces as narrow as 21.5cm.
