Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation in Aberdeen
Aberdeen is the Granite City: most older homes, from tenements to terraces and villas, are built from local granite, with thick, very hard walls and exposure to cold North Sea winds.
Granite walls
Granite is extremely hard and walls are thick, so cutting a wall flap is slow and noisy. A flap in a timber or uPVC back door, or a replacement glass unit, is usually the better option.
Tenements and the coast
Granite tenements share stair and back-green doors, which need the other owners' agreement to alter. Homes near the beach and harbour face strong easterly winds, so a well-sealed flap with a strong magnetic closure helps keep the heat in.

Questions from homeowners in Aberdeen
Can a cat flap go through a granite wall?
It's possible but slow. We'd usually recommend a door or glass installation instead.
Will a flap keep out the cold?
A flap with brush seals and a strong magnetic closure, in a sheltered door, keeps out most draughts.
