Fitting a cat flap into bi-folding doors requires a different approach compared to standard uPVC panels or timber doors. Modern bi-fold systems use double or triple-glazed units, meaning the glass must be professionally manufactured to allow for a cat flap to be installed safely and correctly.
This is where specialist installers such as We Fit For You come in. With experience fitting cat flaps into a wide range of glazed doors, they provide solutions that maintain both the appearance and performance of the original glazing.
Why Bi-Folding Door Cat Flaps Need a Specialist
Unlike traditional doors, bi-folding doors cannot be cut on site. Instead, the existing glass is replaced with a made-to-measure unit featuring a precision cut-out for the cat flap. This approach ensures:
The structural integrity of the glass is preserved
Thermal efficiency and security are maintained
The finished installation looks clean and factory-fitted
Each installation is assessed individually to ensure the correct glass specification and cat flap type are used.
Types of Cat Flaps Installed
Professional installers typically work with trusted cat flap brands to suit different household requirements, including:
PetSafe or PetMate 4 Way Cat Flaps
SureFlap Microchip Cat Flaps
Manual and microchip-controlled options
Secure, draught-proof designs suitable for glazed doors
Correct positioning and installation are particularly important with microchip-controlled cat flaps to ensure reliable operation.
