Working alongside Premier Modular, they designed, manufactured and installed 17 canopies at 7 schools in the city of Manchester. Twinfix originally designed and installed four canopies at St Margaret’s Primary School, which led to them being invited back to assist with phase 2 of the project and installing canopies at a further six sites, including Lily Lane Primary School, Moston; Webster Primary School, Moss Side; Ringway Primary School, Wythenshawe and Beaver Road Primary School, Didsbury.

All their canopies hold the CE mark of safety, were installed by their team of DBS checked installers and are manufactured close by at their factory in Warrington. The roofs comprise of their Multi-Link-Panels NF, glazed with tough 25mm clear multiwall polycarbonate.

These panels are Non-Fragile to the ACR[M]001:2014 drop test. The aluminium frames were powder coated to match the school exteriors. Using aluminium for the framework is their material of choice as it is such a versatile product. It can be formed into many shapes, it is relatively light in weight – making it easier and safer to handle and install.

Aluminium is a great choice for a school canopy as it doesn’t rust in use and will stand up to the test of time.
