uPVC is a flexible material that can be made to include a variety of different accessories, including cat flaps and letterboxes. It is a durable and pliable material that doesn't break or split.

Installing a cat flap into a upvc panel or a double sealed glazed unit is simple and can be accomplished by the majority of people who have the appropriate tools. In some cases it is best to seek out an expert who can do the job right and without damaging the door or seal.
Make a note of the location in which you will put the flap. The instructions for your particular flap will provide precise instructions on this but a general rule is to place it somewhere in the middle of the door (depending on the size of your pet). Make sure that the markings are clearly visible and they are not placed over pipes or electric cables (gas, water or waste) that might be cut by accident.
The next step is to employ a jigsaw for cutting out the hole. Take your time and be sure to follow the line you've drawn. Only remove the material you need. Once you have removed the material and tested the flap by pushing against it and making sure that it closes and opens smoothly. If cat flap insulation doesn't, it is important to note this and employ a file or a rasp to alter the size of the hole.
Then, slide the flap into the hole and screw it into place with the fixing bolts included (these will be in your pack). After the flap is placed in place, you can apply any sealant that is recommended to shield your door from the elements of rain, wind, and cold.
