Glass doors, French doors and windows
A single glass door or a timber or aluminium door with a glass panel can take a pet door, usually in the lower part of the glass. French doors have narrow panes, so the width often decides the method; see dog doors for French doors. Glass windows follow the same rules; see dog doors for walls and windows.
Laminated or toughened, and double glazed
Laminated glass can usually be cut on site for a small or medium dog. Cutting glass standing upright in its frame is the skill we have built the business on: we have cut over 30,000 panes since 2011, and almost all companies would tell you the panel has to be replaced. Toughened glass cannot be cut once it has been toughened, so the pet door goes into a new panel made with the opening in it.
Before any cut we check your dog, movement in the glass, sun on the panel and whether it sits in a busy spot. If a cut is not safe, we will not do it. Can my glass door be cut for a dog door? explains how to tell which glass you have, and can you put a dog door in double glazed glass? covers double glazing, which we also fit.
