We had a new upvc back door fitted today.
The supplier left the door panel out for me to cut the hole for the cat flap.
I'd decided beforehand to make up a template and rout the hole to be neat and avoid any major muck ups but I didn't know exactly what the structure of the panel was going to be.
I was a bit surprised to find it was mostly foam polystyrene but it turns out a multitool cuts it easily enough and a router makes a real clean job of it.
Who would have guessed !

That should be warmer than a panel made of 1/4" ply :)
