Station and Depot Roofglazing

A wide range of station and depot roofglazing products are available from Twinfix.

These include the well known, modular Multi-Link-Panel, an innovative roofllight with a unique fix and link connection system that makes installation really quick and easy. The preassembled panels, manufactured to size in the Twinfix factory, are delivered to site on a ‘just in time’ basis ready for speedy fitting. The aluminium frames can be powder coated to any colour and may be fitted with various types and shades of glazing. These include multiwall polycarbonate as well as a clear, see-through polycarbonate that looks like glass but has all the great benefits of polycarbonate.

Non-Fragile (NF) Roofglazing
 
The safety of people on roofs, whether they are working there legitimately, or whether they have gained access onto a roof for their own means, is of paramount importance and is ignored at your peril. CDM regulations state that it is the responsibility of the designer/specifier of new or replacement roofing to design out any future possible dangers. Specifying Non-Fragile rooflights helps to do just that.

The HSE recommend a drop test (ACR[M]001:2005 Test for Fragility of Roofing Assemblies) to establish whether a roofing assembly can be classified as Non-Fragile. The Twinfix Multi-Link-Panels NF (Non-Fragile) pass this test with a ‘B’ designation.

The Multi-Link-Panel NF also conforms to London Underground’s own stringent drop test for overhead glazing.
 
The steel Twinfix test rig was designed and built in accordance with the ACR[M] specification. It is a permanent structure at the Twinfix facility, enabling regular product testing.
 
All Multi-Link-Panels NF have been tested on this rig and videos of these tests may be viewed here.
