Can I Install Into the Super Touch Pet Door into Glass?

Modified on Mon, 18 Aug at 12:42 PM

Yes, the Super Tough Pet Door can be installed into glass, but this must be done by a qualified glazier.


Single-Glazed Glass

  • Installation into single-pane glass is straightforward for a glazier.

  • The glazier will cut an opening to suit the pet door and secure it in place.


Double-Glazed Glass

  • Double-glazed glass consists of two panes separated by an insulating air gap.

  • Unlike single-pane glass, cutting into double glazing is not usually possible.

  • In most cases, your glazier will need to replace the entire panel with a new double-glazed unit that has been custom-made with the correct opening for the pet door.

  • This ensures you maintain the strength, safety, and insulating properties of the glass.


Important Considerations

  • Sliding Doors: Ensure you will still have enough clearance for your sliding door to open and close normally once the pet door is installed.

  • Frame Protrusion: The Super Tough frame sits approximately 7 mm (0.28 inches) out from the glass surface.

  • Energy Efficiency: Modifying a double-glazed unit may slightly reduce insulation performance, so consult your glazier about the best approach.

  • Consult a Glazier First: Always discuss your requirements with your glazier before proceeding to ensure the best fit and finish.
