Asked by Mai on 3rd Jan 2020"Thanks for asking, it is impossible to cut a hole in a double glazed unit."
Answered on 6th Apr 2020 - Member since Jan 2018 - report"New unit would have to be made with an aperture to the cat flaps dimension, you cannot cut into your existing unit."
Answered on 16th Jan 2020 - Member since Jun 2019 - report"Hi there, unfortunatley you wont be able to cut through the glass, your best bet is to find an alterative door that you can use."
Answered on 16th May 2020 - Member since Jan 2019 - report"Hi,
Not sure but I would contact a company that specialise with PVC doors as they will have to cut the glass to fit a cat flap."
"Hi,
There are more variables that you would imagine here. If you want the cat flap to go through the glass you will need to order glass with a hole already cut into it as a door will be toughened glass and you are unable to cut it. There are other options but I would need to see some photos to see if they would work in this situation.
Kind Regards,
Mark MB Frames."
"This will cost around £80 because you will have to replace the glass unit. You cannot cut the glass as it's toughened."
Answered on 19th Mar 2020 - Member since Feb 2020 - report"Realistically you wouldn’t want a cat flap in a glass door do you not have another door that is either solid or at least one with plastic as a filler? This would be more suitable."
Answered on 6th Jan 2020 - Member since Apr 2019 - report"The catflap is probably about £30 that would take roughly about two hours so two hours work you’re probably looking at another £30 so in total about £60"
Answered on 27th Mar 2020 - Member since Oct 2018 - report"You could remove the glass and replace with PVC board and then install cat flap. Costs could be up to £200."
