I'm replacing my knackered old french doors with a new double glazed set and thinking of having a cat flap incorporated by the double glazers.
Is it a good idea or would it be best to find another place for the cat flap?
The new double glazed french doors are the pilkington k sort with gas in between - would a cat flap be a bad idea or cause other sorts of problems to the units?
If it doesn't make any difference are there any 4-way locking style cat flap products recomended as I will be supplying the flap myself.
I'm curious about how they are fitted and how the holes are cut and I've heard that only circular holes can be cut in glass - but most cat flap shapes have a square top with a rounded bottom. Has anyone had this done or are there any suppliers out there to advise as I don't know whether they are able to cut the hole exactly to size so it fits snugly or whether a larger shape is cut meaning there'd be gaps between the glass and the inside of the flap.
Thanks for all advice.
