Why are cat flaps important for cats? Access to a garden and the outdoors through a cat flap can provide a huge amount of positive stimulation for your cat, as well as helping them keep physically fit and healthy.

NO! Because insulated glass is a sealed unit, you cannot cut it. Instead, you must replace it with new unit pri-cut hole with exact dimensions of the original one this includes type of the glass thickness as well as the length and width.

This can happen due to a number of reasons, however the most common tends to be general wear and tear as the double-glazing unit ages. Continuous changes in temperature cause fluctuations in the size of the glazed unit, since they expand in warmth and contract in the cold, and over time this can loosen and damage the seals. Particularly strong cleaning products can also sometimes eat away at the seal, so even though we all like being able to see through really clean windows, it is wise to make sure the cleaning product you are using is not chemically abrasive. Other reasons for your double-glazing unit failing include faulty installations or faulty production methods. However on the whole these should be covered by your window installer. It is therefore key to make sure you keep your FENSA certificate and a receipt of any work carried out. As the perimeter seal goes, moisture will start to enter the double-glazing unit. Normally there is a silica strip within the void that absorbs small amounts of moisture and separates the glazing units; however as soon as this becomes saturated the condensation rapidly increases, leading to it misting up the entire unit.

Double-glazed doors and windows are made up of two sealed sheets of glass with an insulating void between them. This gap is either in the form of a vacuum, or more commonly filled with a heavy inert gas such as argon. Together, the panes of glass and the void between them are very effective at preventing heat loss. In fact the U-value for a new double glazed window can be as low as 1.7, while a single glazed window in comparison has a u-value closer to 5. However, over time the effectiveness of the double-glazing can wane, especially if the seal goes around one of the panes of glass, allowing air to replace either the vacuum or the inert gas between the panes. The most common side effect of a seal going is that the window will fog up, as water vapour condenses on the inside surface of the window. If you notice your windows have become foggy, misty or steamy when you try to look through them, it means that the seals have started to fail

Yes, as longest as your cat flap is made to be installed in to the glass.

The total height of your door with the step-over should be at least one inch above your dog's back. So if you have a dog that is 12” tall, you will need a pet door that's total height with the step-over is 13”

Not true. You can install a dog flap in a UPVC door. You will need to make sure the flap can handle the thickness of the door and is self-framing. This helps keep your dog safe and keeps the insulation in the door from escaping.

Not true. As long as you buy the right size flap for your dog, a dog flap will not hurt your dog. The only way a dog flap can hurt your dog is if you use the wrong size and they have to contort themselves to get in and out.

Not true. Dog flaps are designed to keep the weather out as much as possible while giving your pet freedom.

Not true. A dog flap locked from the inside is secure and cannot be opened from the outside. Even a locking dog flap that uses a tag is secure from the outside. The mechanism and lock are located inside the flap, so are safe.

Dog doors can be a great way to give your dog the freedom to go outside to potty while you're away, especially important as dogs get older. Spend some time comparing the growing number of models on the market to make sure your dog door is a good fit for years to come
