A dog flap in a glass door is a simple way to help your dog move in and out.
Your dog can go to the balcony, garden, or terrace without waiting for you to open the door every time.
At Lion Aluminium and Glass , we install dog flaps in glass doors for homes, apartments, and villas in Dubai.
We do it in a safe way.
We do not cut your old glass.
We do not damage your aluminium frame.
We make a new glass panel with a dog flap hole.
You can also visit our Doggy Door page to see doggy door options.
Can a Dog Flap Be Installed in Double Glazed Glass?
Yes, a dog flap can be installed in double glazed glass.
But the hole must be made before the glass is finished.
Double glazed glass cannot be cut after it is already made. If someone tries to cut it, the glass can break.
That is why we make a new double-glazed glass panel.
The new glass is:
- Measured to match your current glass
- Made with a precut hole
- Tempered for safety
- Double glazed after tempering
- Installed into your existing aluminium frame
This gives you a clean and safe finish.
How Our Glass Swap Method Works
Our method is easy to understand.
Think of it like changing one puzzle piece for another puzzle piece.
The old glass comes out.
The new glass goes in.
The frame stays the same.
Here is the full process:
- You contact Lion Aluminium and Glass .
- We visit your home in Dubai.
- We measure your current glass panel.
- We make a new replica glass panel.
- The new panel has a dog flap hole.
- The new glass is ready in about 5 working days .
- We bring the new glass to your home.
- We remove the old glass and install the new one.
- You keep the old glass safely for the future.
Simple, clean, and removable.
We Only Swap When the New Glass Is Ready
We do not leave your door open.
We do not remove the original glass and make you wait.
First, your new glass is made.
Then we bring it to your home.
Then we swap the glass.
This means your home stays safe from heat, dust, insects, and outdoor air.
This is very important in Dubai, where the weather can be hot and dusty.
Is It Good for Rental Homes?
Yes, this method is very good for rental homes.
Many people in Dubai rent apartments or villas. They want a pet door, but they do not want to lose their deposit.
With our method:
- The original glass is not cut
- The aluminium frame is not changed
- The new glass can be removed later
- The original glass can be installed again
Because of this, many tenants choose our rental-friendly dog flap installation in Dubai .
Most customers do not need landlord or owner approval because the original glass can be restored when they move out. If your building has strict rules, you may still choose to check with them.
How to Store the Original Glass
After we install the dog flap glass, you should keep your original glass panel safe.
You will need it when you move out.
Good storage places include:
Garage
If you live in a villa, the garage is a good place. Keep the glass on the side where no one will hit it.
Under the Bed
This is good for apartments. The glass stays flat and hidden.
Under the Sofa
If there is enough space, you can store it under the sofa.
Balcony
You can keep it on the balcony if it is safe and covered. Make sure it does not fall or get scratched.
Storage Room
A storage room, maid’s room, or unused corner is also a good option.
Simple Storage Tips
- Wrap the glass with a blanket or bubble wrap
- Keep it away from children
- Do not put heavy things on top of it
- Keep it in a dry and safe place
- Do not leave it where people walk often
When you move out, call Lion Aluminium and Glass . We can come and swap the original glass back.
Glass Color May Be Similar, Not Exact
This is something customers should know before ordering.
Glass color is not always an exact match.
Most glass is grouped by color names, such as:
- Grey
- Blue
- Green
- Brown
But there are many types of grey, many types of blue, many types of green, and many types of brown.
Also, many Dubai buildings and villa communities use special project glass. That glass may be made only for that building or villa project. Local companies usually cannot buy the exact same glass.
So we always try to use the closest available glass color.
We believe it is better to tell you the truth. If any company says the glass color will be 100% exactly the same, this can be a misleading sales tactic.
