Supporting Wales’ Net Zero Schools Vision with Sustainable Canopy Solutions

By | 6 May 2025

The Welsh Government’s commitment to ensuring all new school buildings and major refurbishments are net zero carbon in operation marks a bold and forward-thinking step for the education sector. At Twinfix, we fully support this ambition and are proud to be contributing to the delivery of modern, sustainable school environments across Wales.

With several recent canopy installations completed at Welsh schools, we’re already helping education providers create safe, functional outdoor spaces that align with decarbonisation targets.

A One-Stop Solution, Designed and Manufactured by Twinfix

As a trusted supply chain partner to the education sector, Twinfix offers a complete end-to-end service. All fabrication is carried out in-house at our purpose-built facility in Warrington, enabling us to maintain full control over quality, safety, and lead times.

From initial concept and technical design through to manufacture and installation, our clients benefit from a seamless, coordinated approach — ensuring every project is delivered efficiently and to the highest standard.

Our canopies are constructed using high-quality aluminium frames, paired with multiwall polycarbonate glazing. Both materials are lightweight, durable, fully recyclable and low maintenance — ideal for schools looking to invest in long-lasting infrastructure that supports their sustainability goals.

Solar Canopies: Clean Energy, Practical Value

To support schools looking to take further steps toward net zero, Twinfix also offers integrated solar panel canopy systems. These canopies combine practical shelter with renewable energy generation, helping schools reduce operational carbon emissions while promoting sustainability in the curriculum.

Whether part of a new build or a refurbishment programme, solar canopies provide real environmental value and long-term energy cost savings.

Building for the Future of Education in Wales

We understand the challenges schools face — from constrained budgets to the need for minimal disruption. Our prefabricated canopy systems offer a fast, efficient solution, backed by the expertise of a team that has been working with schools for more than 30 years.

At Twinfix, we’re proud to support the education sector in Wales by delivering robust, future-ready canopy and roof glazing systems that align with environmental targets and enhance the learning environment.
