More about Flat cats window protection
Flat Cats are a lightweight and effective method of allowing fresh air into your property while stopping your cat from escaping and potentially falling out of a window by slipping on the window ledge, and possibly causing injury.
What are Flat Cats made from?
The Flat Cat mesh is strong pvc coated fibreglass mesh. Flat Cats are sized to suit most standard sized windows with a tailored border for extra strength. We can also make Custom Made Flat Cats where you decide the size and we "make to measure".
How does that Flat Cat attach to the window frame?
There is no need to drill holes into your window frames to fit Flat Cats! - The Flat Cat itself has a 2 inch border of hook and loop fixings machined to the mesh and going all the way around.
The Flat Cat attaches to the window frame by using corresponding self adhesive fixings of 3/4 inch (three quarter inch) width. Each Flat Cat is supplied with TWO sets of ¾ inch wide fixings to enable you to use a single set if you wish (if you have narrow window frames) or to double up with 1.5 inches of fixings (2 sets of self adhesive fixings) if you wish to.
The Flat Cat is held on the window through the pushing together of the hook and loop fixings. Once fitted the Flat Cat can be applied and removed in seconds whenever you need it. Flat Cats are suitable for either wood or UPVC window frames.
Fiting a Flat Cat to your windows is really easy.
Are fitting instructions provided?
Yes, fitting instructions are provided with each Flat Cat. We estimate that it will take around 2-3 minutes to fit a Flat Cat to your window - It really is that easy?
Can I use the same Flat Cat window protection on multiple windows in the house?
Yes - Bear in mind that each Flat Cat comes with 1 set of window attachments but you can buy extra sets from only $11.88 from this site Our window fixings come in either Black or White so you can be sure that these window attachements will be as unobtrusive as possible. Click here to purchase now.
Can I take the Flat Cat window protection down when it is not in use?
Of course, simply pull it from the window frame (The hook and loop attachments are designed to be used time after time), then roll the Flat Cat window mesh up and store till required again. The window fixings should be left in place.
I have white UPVC windows but in your slide show the window attachments are black.
Don't worry, we supply window fixings in both Black and White. Simply make your choice when buying online.
Do Flat Cats offer any other benefits?
Yes - If you have a home office you know how annoying it is when insects fly into your room, especially when you are working on your computer in the evening. Because the Flat Cat mesh has the same size apertures as mosquito nets it will stop nearly all insects from entering your room. You therefore can prevent flies, wasps, bees and even spiders getting in.
