For an outside wall, is there an additional compatible flap available (not chip enabled), to have a flap on each side of the wall (weather-proofing)?

Not that I'm aware of. I suppose you might be able to rig one up, but I would think it might interfere with the operation of the chip-enabled flap. We get more air leakage from under our front door than this cat door. It's pretty good as far as that goes.

The flap isn't bad...if the weather is incorrigible, I just put the door on that closes the flap. The part that needs to be sealed well is the other side of the door where the two sliding doors overlap. Be sure that is sealed well or you will be heating the outdoors.

Yes, the instruction manual for the flap includes instructions for wall installations, but it recommends using the SureFlap mounting adapter (product code: GMA001) and tunnel extender (p.c.TUN001) Which I assume you have to order separately> Hope this helps.

Yes, just the one side. You can buy additional sides to enclose against weather.

Ken, thank you for your question! This door does not include weather stripping because the vinyl flap is designed to be adjusted to fit the opening and make a weather tight seal.

No there are no flaps but you could add some easily. Added them to one for my mother with Velcro strip on house and canvas flap I made. Works quite well.

I am not sure about current configurations, but, the ones I received did and I would not understand any changes being to their benefit since the adhesive alone is not adequate for outside use. Hope this helps.

I installed mine through a single wall (1" thick wood). It has a metal diverter that changes the outflow from outward to downward and the diverter also has a flap in it to keep outside air from coming in, but since the "outside" for me was protected from weather, and I wanted outside air to come in even when the fan was not in use, I didnʻt use the diverter. I just mounted the fan in the wall (after making an 8 inch or so hole in the wall). To keep bugs, etc outside I built a square frame around the outside hole with 2x4 wood, and made a small window screen covering for it. Worked out well. The fan is so quiet I have to look at it to see if its on. I installed mine through a single wall (1" thick wood).

The outside unit has special sealing to protect against damage from moisture plus has also a wall fitting. The indoor unit cannot be easily exchanged with an outdoor one.

Do not know...I would say to contact the company and see if they can order one for you.I have mine on my deck and have it screwed done and it has stood up through some heavy winds and rain. I absolutely love it and get lots of compliments on it.

The only way I have been able to completely and continuously seal out the hot & cold is to have at least one of the hard plastic slide-in doors in place, especially during our windy and tornado seasons. With only the soft flaps, a very slight amount of air may sneak by once in a while with gusty, stronger winds. We have this mounted in our kitchen dining area wall, and have recently had 1 and 2 ambient degree mornings, and the soft flaps have not allowed the cold air to pass. During the summer months of high temps and high humidity, the flaps seal very well, with air passage being a non-issue. We have tried many doors before this one, and none have measured up. The most important point regarding proper functioning of the door is the proper installation. Done well, the door performs admirably. It was only after 6 years of very regular, hard use by our four large dogs (and one small), that it needed to be replaced, as some of the weather strips had finally worn out. Hope this helps!

If I recall correctly, no, there is no sealant around the door. However, most of the A/C will likely be lost out of the flap itself rather than any sealing issues. Technically, you could put some inexpensive weatherstripping between each plastic half and the door panels in which you are installing it. It works for us in use in the uninsulated door between the main level of the conditioned house and the basement. I assume that you aren't considering using this door in an exterior door. I would choose something more robust and insulated for an exterior door. However, for its intended purpose and price, this is a really nice door and I have had a couple of different brands.

Jeff there are inside outside corners available and also window and door trims that I suggest you use. You can also use a ledger if you are not going to the top. The nexstone web site has all the info there too. If you have switches or electrical plugs there are special boxes you will have to purchase.

I used double sided tape but you can use screws. I used some great double sided outdoor tape from 3m (upgraded) that works very well for outdoor use.

We installed ours in the wall, not a door. You should be able to install it regardless of the thickness of your wall or door. The plastic flap is only 3/8" thick, but it closes & seals shut instantly with the magnets every time our dog uses it.
