Based in Cambridge, Clearglass combines specialist glazing expertise with precision installation, so your home remains warm, stylish, and secure while your pet enjoys a little more independence.
Why Choose a SureFlap Pet Flap?
SureFlap pet flaps are widely regarded as some of the most advanced and reliable pet access systems on the market. Designed with both pets and homeowners in mind, they solve many of the common frustrations associated with traditional cat and dog flaps.
Smart Technology That Knows Your Pet
Unlike standard pet flaps that swing open for any passing animal, SureFlap uses microchip recognition technology. The flap reads your pet’s existing microchip or a SureFlap RFID collar tag and only unlocks for registered pets.
This means:
- No neighbourhood cats sneaking in for a snack
- No foxes or other wildlife wandering indoors
- No stress for your pet caused by unexpected visitors
Your pet gets exclusive access. Everyone else stays outside where they belong.
Freedom for Your Pet, Convenience for You
Pets thrive on routine and independence. A SureFlap pet flap allows them to:
- Go outside when they need fresh air
- Return indoors whenever they feel safe or hungry
- Maintain natural behaviours without waiting by the door
- Timed entry options- to limit access
For homeowners, this translates into fewer interruptions, less door-opening duty, and a calmer household. It is freedom, neatly wrapped in smart engineering.
Clearglass: Approved SureFlap Installers You Can Trust
Installing a pet flap is not as simple as cutting a hole and slotting it in, especially when double glazing is involved. This is where our expertise makes all the difference.
As approved SureFlap installers, we follow best practice at every stage, ensuring your pet flap works perfectly and your glazing performs exactly as it should.
Why Professional Installation Matters
Double glazed units are sealed systems designed to provide insulation, noise reduction, and security. Cutting into an existing sealed unit will:
- Break the airtight seal
- Reduce thermal efficiency
- Cause condensation between panes
- Void manufacturer warranties
Instead, Clearglass provides custom-made double-glazed units manufactured specifically to accommodate your chosen SureFlap dog or cat flap.
The result is a flawless finish that looks intentional, not improvised.
Replacing uPVC Panels with SureFlap Pet Flaps
Many homes feature uPVC door panels, particularly in back doors or utility areas. These panels are often the simplest and most cost-effective location for a dog or cat flap.
Our uPVC Panel Replacement Service
At Clearglass, we can:
- Remove your existing uPVC panel
- Precisely cut the panel and fit a SureFlap pet flap
- Install the panel with a secure finish
This approach avoids damage to your existing door frame and ensures long-term durability.
Ideal for Cats and Dogs
uPVC panel replacements work beautifully for both cat flaps and dog flaps, including larger SureFlap models. The installation is neat, weather-resistant, and tailored to your pet’s size and needs.
Custom Double-Glazed Units with SureFlap Pet Flaps
If your pet flap needs to be installed into a glass door or window, Clearglass provides a specialist solution: custom made to measure double-glazed units with pre-cut apertures.
How It Works
- We survey your existing glazing and take precise measurements
- You select your choice of SureFlap Pet flap- which we can order for you
- A new double-glazed unit is manufactured with a factory-cut hole
- The SureFlap pet flap is fitted securely into the glass
- The new unit replaces your existing glass
This method preserves:
- Thermal efficiency
- Acoustic performance
- Visual appearance
- Structural integrity
No draughts. No rattles. No compromises.
Energy Efficiency Still Comes First
A common concern among homeowners is heat loss. Our custom double-glazed units are designed to meet modern energy standards, so your home remains warm and efficient even with a pet flap installed.
Keeping Unwanted Furry Visitors Out
One of the biggest frustrations to pet owners is other animals entering the home through traditional dog or cat flaps. This can lead to:
- Food theft
- Spraying or scent marking
- Aggressive encounters
- Stress for resident pets
SureFlap technology eliminates this issue entirely.
Microchip-Activated Security
Only pets that you have programmed into the SureFlap system can unlock the door. Every other animal meets a polite but firm refusal. It is security with whiskers.
For multi-pet households, SureFlap allows multiple pets to be registered, each with their own access rights.
Benefits of a dog or cat Flap for Your Pet
Reduced Stress and Anxiety
Pets no longer have to wait, scratch, or vocalise to be let in or out. This autonomy can significantly reduce anxiety, particularly for cats and high-energy dogs.
Healthier, Happier Pets
Access to the outdoors supports:
- Exercise and weight management
- Mental stimulation
- Natural toileting habits
A pet that can move freely tends to be calmer and more content indoors.
Routine Without Reliance
Whether you work long hours or simply enjoy uninterrupted evenings, a pet flap allows your pet to maintain their routine without constant supervision.
Benefits of a Dog or Cat Flap for Homeowners
Convenience That Adds Up
No more getting up mid-meal. No more muddy paw prints on freshly cleaned floors. A SureFlap pet flap quietly handles the comings and goings.
Improved Home Cleanliness
By allowing pets to exit when they need to, accidents and restlessness indoors are reduced. Combined with selective access, your home stays cleaner and calmer.
Peace of Mind
Knowing that only your pet can enter your home provides reassurance, especially in areas where wildlife or neighbouring pets are common.
