Multi-Link-Panel NF
One of the major requirements for many educational establishments, leisure facilities, factories and railway stations, is for rooflights that conforms to the ACR[M]001:2000 - Test for Fragility of Roofing Assemblies, as required in the HSE (Health & Safety Executive) Document HSG33. The Twinfix Multi-Link-Panel NF modular rooflight system does just that.
The Advisory Committee for Roofwork, led by the Health & Safety Executive, undertook research that led to the development of the above test, which represents a human impact incident on a roof surface. The whole of an assembly has to be tested, and not just individual components. Twinfix have undertaken the required multiple drop tests onto the Multi-Link-Panel NF where it has achieved a 'B' rating.
'A' is the highest rating and is achieved by there being no significant damage to the whole assembly after multiple drops. The Twinfix 'B' classification is based on minimal damage from the multiple drops. A 'C' graded pass requires only one drop test with the impactor.
The Multi-Link-Panel NF combines a maintenance-free aluminium frame glazed with virtually unbreakable multiwall polycarbonate. It outperforms more traditional glazing systems in terms of cost, performance and long-term appearance.
