From Start to Finish

Installing a cat flap in a tiled bathroom wall demands careful planning and the right tools to protect the tiles. Begin by marking the flap’s position on the wall, then cover the area with masking tape to prevent the drill bit from slipping. Use a tile or glass drill bit with a power drill set to a moderate speed to create a pilot hole, working slowly to avoid overheating the bit or cracking the tile. After the pilot hole is established, switch to a multi-tool with an appropriate blade to carefully cut out the rest of the opening. Patience and precision are essential to achieve a clean installation; without damaging the surrounding tiles.
