Twinfix non-fragile canopies for schools and colleges

Latest News Tue, Mar 22, 2016 5:32 PM

Over the years many thousands of Twinfix canopies have been installed to create glazed covered areas at nurseries, schools, colleges and universities.  They provide colourful all-weather protection from the elements as outside work or play areas for pupils of all ages, as well as making great focal points at main entrances, providing shelter over stairways and ramps for the disabled and connecting outlying buildings on big sites.

When situated adjacent to classrooms canopies provide quick and easy access to sand and water play for nursery-aged children, and super weather protection for waiting students and parents.  Install roller shutters on the open sides and you have additional secure space in which to store items over-night and during weekends or holiday periods.

Confidence in our products

You can choose from a range of different styles, depending upon your site conditions.  On offer is a one-stop shop for canopies/walkways with help available during the whole process, from planning advice through design and manufacture to installation.

Quality

Twinfix structures are manufactured with powder coated aluminium frames that have a long and trouble-free life.

  • Aluminium frame that is corrosion free: no rusting, no repainting
  • Tough multi-wall or solid polycarbonate roof glazing
  • Non Fragile, tested to ACR(M)001:2011
  • Polycarbonate is: easy to clean; incredibly tough; will not crack or craze in use and has a UV  resistant surface for long life
  • Dry-run canopy assembly prior to powder coating ensures quick and easy site installation

Polycarbonate is the ideal choice for any education-based canopy or walkway as it gives protection against UV to those playing or working underneath.  Add to this the fact that Twinfix canopies are glazed with non-fragile roofs and you can feel very confident that you are getting a top-quality and long lasting product.
