Pet Doors - General - Can I Install Into Single Or Double-Glazed Glass?

Modified on Thu, 8 May at 2:48 PM

Yes, you can install our Pet Doors into single and double-glazed glass, but a qualified glazier must carry out the installation.




If installing into a sliding door, please check that you will still have enough clearance to operate the door normally.


Important things to consider before installation:

  • Glass Cutting:
    Double-glazed units are more complex than single-pane glass. They are made up of two layers of glass separated by a sealed air gap. Cutting into this type of glass requires specialised equipment and expertise, and it is generally more expensive than cutting single-pane glass.

  • Energy Efficiency:
    Modifying double-glazed glass can impact its insulating properties. Make sure any tunnel partitions of the pet door are installed correctly and sealed thoroughly to help maintain the energy efficiency of your door or window.


If you have any questions about installation, we recommend discussing the project directly with your chosen glazier before proceeding.
