Here at Twinfix we don’t just sell rooflights, canopies and walkways – we design and fabricate them in-house and then we usually install them too. This one-stop process means you get the same high level of quality control and attention to detail at each stage of your project. We are proud to be a part of the successful band of British manufacturing companies continually striving to create extra wealth for our country as well as providing local employment opportunities for a wide range of skilled people.
Having our own design team means we can help every customer achieve the look they require, whether it’s a simple pitched rooflight or a complicated free-standing canopy structure. We are delighted to be celebrating our 25th Anniversary this year and hope that the photos below will give you a glimpse of how one day is spent in our Warrington facility.
