Twinfix have been supplying roof glazing panels for use in station canopies and depot rooflights for many years.

The chosen product for these rooflights is the Multi-Link-Panel NF (Non Fragile).  The Multi-Link-Panel is an innovative product that, due to its fix and link method of installation, is incredibly quick to fit, making it a good choice for installation in stations where possession times are an issue.

It is manufactured with a powder coated aluminium frame that can be powder coated to any RAL or BS colour, fitted with multiwall polycarbonate glazing.  This is an ideal glazing medium as it is very tough yet flexible and will absorb building movements caused by trains moving underneath or by high winds.  From below it also has a similar look to the failed Georgian wired glass that was often originally installed in these areas and is now being replaced.   The NF panel also conforms to the Health & Safety Executive's recommendation for the use of 'safe' Non-Fragile Roofing, achieving a B classification in their drop test, ACR[M]001:2000, Test for Fragility of Roofing Assemblies, revised in 2005. 

These panels also conform to London Underground's own more stringent drop test, Engineering Standard E3404A3. 

Passing both these drop tests gives the specifier real peace of mind when ordering the use of Multi-Link-Panels NF, as it means that any unauthorised access onto a canopy will not result in a dangerous fall through the glazing.  This is particularly important where an embankment and/or existing building design provides a possible tempting access point onto a roof.

Where a more 'glass-like' appearance is required, solid polycarbonate can be fitted into the roofing panels instead of the multiwall glazing.  This too achieves a 'B' classification to the HSE recommended drop test.

Twinfix are happy to work with the installing contractor, scheduling deliveries to the station or depot to suit the schedule.
