More about Flat cats window protection
Flat Cats are a lightweight and effective method of allowing fresh air into your room while stopping your cat from falling out of a window by slipping on the window ledge, and possibly causing injury. Flat Cats are now available in Australia and New Zealand.
What are Flat Cats made from?
The Flat Cat mesh is pvc coated fibreglass netting, similar to that used in mosquito netting. Flat Cats are sized to suit most standard sized windows with a tailored border for extra strength.
How does that Flat Cat attach to the window frame?
No need to drill holes into your window frames! - The Flat Cat itself has a 5cm 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 2cm width. Each Flat Cat is supplied with TWO sets of 2cm wide fixings to enable you to use a single set if you wish (if you have narrow window frames) or to double up with 4cm 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.
Fitting 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 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 attachments should be left in place.
Do you have different coloured mesh and fixings available..
Yes we do, you can have Grey or White mesh combined with either White or Black fixings, the choice is yours.
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.
