A cat flap can create a draught if it's left open. This is a problem that many cat owners have to deal with.

A draught-exclusion device can help minimise cold air entering the home, but the cat flap that is insulated will offer more protection from the elements. Tomsgates has a wide selection of insulated dog doors and cat flaps that are suitable for all kinds of installations that include wall installations.

The Material

One of the most important aspects of the cat door is its insulation. It is the thing that keeps cold air out and warm inside. Insulation can be achieved in various ways, but the material from which the flap is made is the most crucial.

Doors with double or triple flaps provide greater insulation and prevent cold air from entering your home. You can also purchase draft restrictors that are fitted around the frame of the flap and reduce drafts. However, it is important to bear in mind that these will not stop the cold air from entering if your cat is trying to use their door at the same time.

Fill in the area left by your cat flap with insulation, such as styrofoam. This will prevent cold air from entering into your home and will reduce the sound generated by your cat's pet door. If you decide to do this, you must determine the size of the hole that your cat's flap made and select an appropriate filler to match the surrounding fabric.

A great option for a cat flap that has high levels of insulation is the RANGER pet door by Freedom Pet Pass. This door has a thick, insulated flap that is designed to reduce conductive heat loss. It also has magnetic seals that block cold air or wind from entering through the flap. Its celluloid PVC frames are 3,000X more efficient at insulating than aluminum frames of inferior pet doors.

Wind Resistance

When a cat door is opened it creates a draft which means cold air can enter your home even when the flap is closed. Some manufacturers attempt to eliminate this problem by adding what are known as draught excluders that are basically brushes that are inserted around the flap opening. But, if you're searching for a true cold weather cat flap insulation, you will need to ensure that your door can seal tightly when it is shut and that there are no gaps where cold air can enter.

A strong magnetic seal is one way to help your cat flap remain shut against wind, however you must also consider the overall structure and materials that are used in the construction of a pet door. The best doors for pets in colder weather will be constructed of materials that are insulating. These include thick PVC flaps, and frames that can withstand temperatures as low as 40 degrees Celsius. This will stop cold air from getting in and keeps warm air out, which is a big energy saver.

You should also look for a double-flap design that can be able to withstand heat and cold, as well as high winds. These will be more expensive than single-flap models, however they are a great investment that will allow you to save money on energy costs in the long run. This is particularly true for those who live in an area that gets extreme summers or winters.

Review reviews prior to purchasing a cat flap for cold weather to see which models have the most favorable reviews and provide the best protection from the elements. The Ideal Pet Products Designer Series Ruff Weather Pet Door is a favorite because it provides excellent insulation and a durable flap, as well as an easy-to-install secure, tamper-proof design. Endura Flap Double Flap Wall Mount Dog & Cat Door is a different option. Many customers have praised its ability to resist the elements of wind and cold without hindering their freedom for their cats.

The Magnetic Seal

In cold weather, a cat flap that seals tightly is essential to decreasing energy loss. This is the reason why the best cat flap insulation comes with the use of a magnetic closure. These magnets keep the door shut, even when your pet is inside it. In addition, some models come with an external closing panel that you can use to lock your pet in or out if necessary.

A solid magnetic seal is vital in cold weather, but a good cat flap also needs to be able to stand up to the wind. You don't need your cat flap to be blown wide open by the wind in winter. This can let cold air in your home and increase your heating bill. A good model for cold weather has an electronic seal that can withstand winds of up to 50 miles per hour. A lot models also come with insulation to prevent loss of heat.

One of the best cold-weather cat flaps on the market is the Security Boss insulated pet door. It is insulated in both the door as well as the frame to give the best amount of insulation. It also comes with an easy-to-close panel that you can slide in when the weather isn't great to keep your pets safe.

Another great option is the RANGER pet door by Freedom Pet Pass. This upvc door panel cat flap is insulated using thick celluloid PVC to minimize heat loss through conduction and keep your house warm. The frame is also welded using automotive technology to make it strong and durable for cold weather conditions.

The Baboni pet door is another excellent choice for colder weather. It is constructed of aerospace quality aluminum alloy as well as steel, and welded together by using laser welding technology, which is used in the automotive industry. Its design is able to withstand harsh weather, and it can be installed on a variety of wall materials. Its double flaps offer insulation and energy efficiency. A tunnel kit can be incorporated into the door to provide extra protection during extreme weather.

The Design

When you are choosing a cat door to keep your home warm and free of drafts, it is recommended to choose fitting a cat flap in a upvc door door with insulation features. It could be a dual-flap model or a frame constructed of aluminum, which is less thermally conduction than PVC or plastic. Some models also feature brushes that prevent drafts and reduce energy loss. You can locate doors with these features by searching for words such as "insulation," weatherproof seals," and "energy efficiency" within the product description.

Many modern cat doors, which are specifically designed to be used in cold climates, have several insulation options. The Endura Flap pet door, for example, has a dual flap system as well as an insulated frame that is able to withstand extreme weather conditions, helping prevent drafts and heat loss. It is also eco-friendly, as it is made of a nontoxic polyolefin material that is safe for both your pets and the environment.

Even the flap is well-insulated it is possible that cold air still flows through the opening between the frame of the door or window and the wall. The flap creates draft when it is opened. Some manufacturers attempt to minimize this by offering what's called a draught-exclusion device that is positioned around the flap's outside, but it is important to keep in mind that your cat needs to be able to open and shut the door easily so that they can go in and out as they wish.

Installing an entirely new pet door, such as Freedom Pet Pass' RANGER designed for colder weather, is a more effective solution. The RANGER pet door features a thicker, insulated flap which helps reduce heating from conductive sources by reducing the amount of energy that is lost through the material. It also has the ability to be able to withstand extreme temperatures, like 40 degrees Celsius. This level of protection is comparable to double-paned windows but for a fraction of their cost.
