Cat & Glass Pet flap Installation

So that we can install these additions into your doors or windows, it is necessary to order a doubled glazed unit (DGU) which is made-to-measure with all holes pre-cut prior to installation. Existing double glazing cannot be modified like this, especially if the unit is already toughened.

Likewise, you cannot add these small pet portals into a sealed unit as it needs to remain air-tight. To get around these restrictions, we cut holes before toughening and sealing the glass. For DGUs with decorative lead designs and Georgian bars, our Trained Fitters will follow the same process. In this case, there will be a hole at the bottom of the unit, however. Once everything is installed, this will be sealed again to maintain the required integrity.

UPVC panels

With regards to UPVC panels, we can only cut a hole directly into the door provided it is free from ridges or fancy designs. Furthermore, our fitters cannot cut into UPVC panels that are reinforced with steel. In both of these cases, you will need to order a panel that has a hole already pre-cut. Each installer at Crystal Glazing can put up a cat flap or Dog Flap in plain timber doors though as these can be easily modified while still preserving structural integrity. Regardless of the type of door, we know exactly how to install these handy features.

For single glazed household windows, it is possible to cut a hole directly into 4 mm clear float glass (the kind typically found in home windows). However, Crystal Glazing recommends you hire one of our trained fitters to install a toughened glass panel instead. Even though they are not legally required in the domestic setting, they still provide added safety and security for your household.

All single glazing has to be made from safety glass. In some circumstances, the hole can be made onsite. In most cases though, it is better to order a pre-toughened panel with the hole already included. The typical work time is 3 to 5 days, although we do have an express service available. openings, the quiet door action, and the indestructible polycarbonate design. Of course, you can also purchase your own cat flap if you prefer.

New composite door fitted by Larry & team from Crystal Glazing. They went above and beyond to ensure the job was done perfectly, even matching the colour of silicone sealant to the door. I couldn’t be happier with their work, thanks lads!

I cannot recommend Larry and his team at Crystal Glazing highly enough. I made a distressed phone call to their office seeking emergency assistance after vandals smashed the windows in my vacant house. The call was answered with empathy and care, and Larry and his team turned up as soon as they could to block up the windows and doors. I was, understandably, very distressed, but Larry couldn’t have been nicer. They did the job, and did it throughly, and didn’t charge me an arm and a leg for doing it. I felt that the job was in good hands, and it was. If you need emergency boarding up, Crystal Glazing is the place to go. Highly recommended.

Fantastic service. Cian was so professional and efficient. Would highly recommend this company. Replaced a window pane when all other companies wanted to replace the full unit.

Unbelievable service! I operate a business in the Temple Bar area, we had our window smashed, I gave Larry a call & he was out within minutes to replace it. The quality of craftmanship from the team was second to none. I cannot recommend Crystal Glazing enough.

Excellent service! They came within minutes of us making a call after 11pm to fix our broken upstairs window on a very windy night. They were very friendly, honest and efficient. Couldn’t recommend Larry and his team more.

We got a new front and back door fitted by the expert team at Crystal Glazing and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. The doors themselves are outstanding quality and the expert craftsmanship of the men is shown in their perfectly finished fitting. Excellent, efficient, expert service for a great price!
