Twinfix 2025 Highlights: A Year of Progress, Innovation and Recognition

2025 has been a landmark year for Twinfix. As we marked our 35th anniversary, the business continued to demonstrate the values that have underpinned our success since 1990: engineering expertise, innovation, and a clear focus on delivering practical, high-quality solutions for complex environments.

Across rail, education, healthcare and commercial sectors, the past year has seen Twinfix deliver significant projects, introduce new product innovations, and receive industry recognition that reflects both our heritage and our forward-looking approach.

Supporting Major UK Rail Infrastructure

One of the most notable projects of 2025 has been our ongoing work at Waterloo Station. Twinfix has been appointed to replace existing rooflights using our Multi-Link-Panel NF system, glazed with high-performance polycarbonate. The project highlights our capability to operate within live rail environments, delivering safe, non-fragile roof glazing solutions that enhance natural daylight, improve longevity, and reduce ongoing maintenance requirements.

Rail continues to be a core sector for Twinfix, and this year’s activity builds on our extensive portfolio of station rooflight renewals, platform canopies and bespoke glazing systems delivered across the UK rail network.

Case Studies That Demonstrate Real-World Impact

Throughout 2025, our case study projects have showcased the breadth of Twinfix solutions and the tangible benefits they deliver.

In education, our canopy and roof glazing installations have supported safer circulation, improved outdoor learning environments and greater flexibility for schools adapting to growing pupil numbers. In healthcare settings, Twinfix canopies have played a role in enhancing patient journeys by providing sheltered access and clearly defined entrances, while meeting demanding compliance and durability standards.

Within transport and infrastructure, our work on heritage and contemporary stations alike has demonstrated how modern materials and engineering can be sensitively integrated into existing environments, improving performance without compromising architectural character.

These projects reinforce Twinfix’s role as a trusted partner, capable of delivering tailored solutions that respond to site constraints, aesthetic considerations and long-term operational needs.

Innovation Driving the Product Portfolio Forward

Innovation has remained a central focus throughout the year. In response to evolving architectural trends and sustainability objectives, Twinfix introduced timber-effect powder-coated finishes, offering the visual warmth of timber with the durability and low maintenance benefits of aluminium.

Alongside this, we have continued to develop and promote solar panel canopy solutions, enabling clients to combine weather protection with renewable energy generation. These systems align with wider decarbonisation strategies and reflect Twinfix’s commitment to supporting more sustainable built environments.

Our continued investment in polycarbonate glazing systems also ensures high levels of impact resistance, light transmission and long-term performance across all sectors.

Industry Recognition and Awards

2025 has also been a year of external recognition. Twinfix was proud to be named Best Canopy & Roof Glazing Company (UK) at the Build Architecture Awards, acknowledging our expertise, service quality and sustained contribution to the sector.

Within rail, we were finalists at the Rail Spotlight Awards and are pleased to have been shortlisted again for the forthcoming awards programme. This recognition reflects the strength of our rail project delivery, collaborative working approach and deep understanding of operational rail environments.

Celebrating 35 Years of Twinfix

Reaching our 35th anniversary provided an opportunity to reflect on the journey from a specialist glazing manufacturer to a trusted UK partner delivering complete canopy and roof glazing solutions. While the business has grown and evolved, our core principles remain unchanged: technical integrity, client focus and continuous improvement.

Looking Ahead

Creating a Welcoming First Impression: New Entrance Canopy Installed at North Cambridgeshire Hospital

At Twinfix, we understand that first impressions count — especially in healthcare environments where comfort, clarity, and care matter from the moment someone arrives. That’s why we were delighted to partner with North Cambridgeshire Hospital in Wisbech on a project to enhance the entrance to its Children’s Services Department.

The brief was clear: design a canopy that not only provides reliable weather protection but also enhances the building’s appearance and supports a positive visitor experience. The result is a smart, free-standing mono-pitch structure that combines durability with contemporary design.

Built to UKCA standards, the new canopy features a robust aluminium frame and non-fragile polycarbonate roof system, ensuring lasting performance while allowing natural light to filter through. Its sleek powder-coated finish in RAL 7016 offers a modern aesthetic that complements the hospital’s architecture.

A standout feature of the design is the central timber soffit, crafted from warm cedar cladding. This natural material introduces texture and warmth, softening the structure’s overall appearance and creating a more inviting feel — ideal for a family-focused facility.

From concept through to completion, this project reflects our commitment to delivering canopies that balance form and function. Every detail was considered, from the clean-lined structural design to integrated guttering for effective rainwater management.

We’re proud to have contributed to a space that feels more welcoming, accessible, and aligned with the high standard of care provided within. It’s a small addition that makes a meaningful difference — and that’s exactly what we strive for at Twinfix.

Platform canopies renovated at Worcester Shrub Hill Station preserving their heritage & improving passengers’ journeys

Worcester Shrub Hill Station was originally built in 1850 but replaced in 1865 with a station building still in place in the year 2025. Built during the Victorian era but of the Georgian style, this station is now over 150 years old and needs some TLC. The building and platforms have some unique features such as the waiting rooms, the cast iron railings on the station’s staircase, which have been hidden by boarding for years, the signals and the glass and iron canopy over the platforms.

The building was long overdue for some much-needed TLC, and as the station is grade II listed, with several challenges facing the refurbishment, including the canopy over the platforms.

Large fragile sheets of glass suspended over hundreds of passengers on rusting ironwork frames is the stuff of nightmares for health & safety specialists. Couple that with the newest building codes and Construction, Design and Management (CDM) regulations to allow for maintenance and access and you can find yourself in a spin trying to balance aesthetics and safety.

Fortunately, Twinfix were able to solve this problem with modern materials that comply to safety standards and can be used by designers and architects in line with CDM regulations. Modern materials that are sustainable, they can be reused repeatedly. Modern materials that are easy and quick to install, reducing the installation costs, reducing the weight for lifting, manual handling and the stress on the building. Modern materials that strong, meaning passengers can feel safe beneath them. And, not forgetting modern materials that give the look and feel of glass and iron work, with all the benefits of natural light flooding the platforms below.

Known as the ‘Pioneers of polycarbonate’, Twinfix are a British manufacturer who specialise in producing high quality polycarbonate glazing systems. Along with their ‘multi-link’ aluminium support system, Twinfix can replicate the Georgian Wire look of glass but at a fraction of the weight. Along with their non-fragile polycarbonate the system is safe, secure, strong and light. Twinfix manufacture the product, so they are the best people to talk to about bespoke designs. As the multi-link system needed to match the look and feel of the original, Twinfix were able to design the multi-link to include a cap making it indistinguishable from the original. This enabled the new install to match any existing parts not being replaced in this scheme.

With Twinfix’s system to hand, the station refurbishment went without any problems. The system designed, manufactured and delivered by Twinfix was easy to install and lightweight to lift into place. With the canopy’s finished it’s impossible to tell from looking that it isn’t the original glass and ironwork looking as good as the day it was first installed in the 1800’s. The passengers are sheltered from the weather and the only flooding they will experience, is daylight beaming across the platforms.

Vicky Evans, Twinfix Director said “It’s great to be returning to Worcester Shrub Hill Station and investing a significant amount to improve this historic station and secure its future for the next generation. We delivered on time and to budget and are pleased that our client is satisfied with our work which will provide long term value and sustainability for the future.”

Enhancing Learning Environments at Acre Hall: Twinfix Delivers Free-Standing Canopy and Access Solutions

At Twinfix, we believe that outdoor space should be an extension of the classroom. Recently, we had the privilege of working with Black Cat Building Consultancy and main contractor TJM to deliver a tailored scheme at Acre Hall Primary School in Urmston. Our scope included the design, manufacture and installation of a free-standing mono-pitch canopy, four access hatches, and ten post protectors — all finished to high standards of performance and aesthetics.

Project Context

Acre Hall Primary serves children aged 3 to 11 across the Trafford area. This project represents an investment in enhancing the school’s infrastructure, bolstering outdoor learning facilities and improving the daily experience for pupils and staff.

Twinfix’s Role in Supporting Acre Hall’s Vision

Working in close coordination with Black Cat Building Consultancy and contractor TJM, Twinfix undertook a full turnkey package:

Free-standing mono-pitch canopy — providing weather-protected outdoor space.
Access hatches (4 units) — to facilitate maintenance and inspection.
Post protectors (10 units, navy) — safeguarding structural elements in high-traffic zones.

Our approach emphasised durability, ease of maintenance and visual harmony with the school’s aesthetic. The canopy structure was powder coated in RAL 7016 (anthracite grey), a neutral yet robust finish that complements many school architectures.

For glazing, we selected our Multi-Link-Panel NF system, using 16mm multi-wall polycarbonate — a system certified as non-fragile, delivering light diffusion, UV protection, and robustness without the weight of traditional glass.

Technical Highlights & Challenges

Mono-pitch roof form: chosen for simplicity and to align drainage effectively.
Access hatches: key for servicing and cleaning, designed to integrate cleanly into the roof surface.
Post protectors: placed at ten posts in navy finish, protecting against everyday impact while offering a visual contrast to the canopy frame.
Safety & compliance: the Multi-Link-Panel NF system is designed to comply with drop-test and non-fragile standards, reducing risk during maintenance.
Powder-coated aluminium framing: lightweight, resilient, and low-maintenance, while achieving the desired aesthetic.

While this canopy installation took place during school holidays, installations of this nature are often undertaken in busy, live school environments. Twinfix has extensive experience delivering projects during term-time with minimal disruption, working sensitively around classroom activity and in line with safeguarding policies. All members of our installation team are DBS checked, giving schools confidence that works can be carried out safely and professionally.

Outcomes & Benefits

The completed installation delivers clear and measurable value to Acre Hall:

Enhanced teaching space — the canopy extends outdoor use in all weather, giving staff greater flexibility.
Improved pupil experience — protection from the elements encourages outdoor play and learning even when conditions are not ideal.
Maintenance efficiency — the access hatches and non-fragile roof system simplify upkeep and inspection.
Robust protection — post protectors and high-performance finishes provide resilience in a high-traffic educational setting.
Visual coherence — the anthracite frame and navy accents maintain a clean, professional look that complements the school environment.

We are proud to have contributed to Acre Hall’s ambitions for a more adaptable, safe, and inspiring learning environment.

Twinfix Delivers Bespoke Rooflight Solution to Improve Passenger Experience at Coventry Station

Twinfix is proud to have partnered with Jamieson Contracting on the delivery of a key roof refurbishment at Coventry Station, providing a modern solution that enhances natural light, improves aesthetics, and future-proofs the structure for years to come.

Originally opened in 1962, Coventry Station is one of the finest surviving examples of post-war railway architecture in Britain. The station building is Grade II listed, recognised for its bold mid-century design and clean lines that reflect the modernist movement of the time. While the structure remains architecturally significant, parts of the building — including its rooflights — were in need of careful restoration to meet current performance standards.

As part of a wider programme of upgrades at the station, a total of 27 bespoke pyramid rooflights were installed, all glazed with 25mm multiwall polycarbonate — a durable, non-fragile material that offers superior safety performance while maintaining excellent light transmission. The new rooflights replace older units which had deteriorated over time and no longer provided sufficient natural lighting for the station concourse.

Working collaboratively with Jamieson Contracting, Twinfix supplied and manufactured a tailored rooflight system that not only met the structural and safety requirements of the site but also delivered a significant improvement to the station’s overall environment. The increased daylight now filtering through the concourse enhances visibility, creates a more welcoming atmosphere for passengers, and contributes to energy efficiency by reducing reliance on artificial lighting.

The project aligns with Coventry Station’s wider efforts to improve the passenger journey and modernise infrastructure without compromising on architectural integrity. The sleek pyramid-style rooflights provide a contemporary design element while remaining sympathetic to the station’s mid-century character.

Vicky Evans, Director at Twinfix, commented:
“We are delighted to have supported Jamieson Contracting on this important refurbishment at Coventry Station. Our non-fragile polycarbonate rooflight system provides a safe, sustainable, and visually impactful solution – one that improves both the day-to-day experience for passengers and the long-term performance of the building itself.”

As a British manufacturer with over 35 years’ experience in glazing and canopy systems, Twinfix continues to support the UK rail sector in delivering innovative, compliant and heritage-sensitive solutions across the network.
