Home » Product Technology » Optional Extras
At Twinfix, we understand that every project is different. That is why we offer a range of optional extras designed to enhance the functionality, safety and security of our canopy and roof glazing systems. From roller shutters and gates to mesh panels and post protectors, these additions allow each structure to be tailored to the needs of its environment.
Roller shutters provide robust protection for canopies and enclosed areas, helping to secure spaces after hours or in exposed locations. They offer an effective barrier against unauthorised access and vandalism, while also shielding interiors from wind and driving rain. Designed to integrate seamlessly with our aluminium framing systems, roller shutters can be colour-matched to surrounding structures for a discreet and coordinated finish.
Where access control or partial enclosure is required, gates and mesh panels offer a practical solution. Gates can be fitted to provide secure entry points, while mesh panels allow ventilation and visibility without compromising safety. Both can be finished in a wide choice of powder-coated colours, ensuring they complement the surrounding architecture. These options are particularly effective in schools, transport hubs and healthcare environments where controlled access and safety are priorities.
Protecting the structure itself is just as important as safeguarding the people who use it. Post protectors provide a durable shield around structural columns, reducing the risk of accidental damage from vehicles, trolleys or equipment. Just as importantly, they help prevent injuries if children or other users collide with posts in busy areas such as school playgrounds, healthcare sites or public spaces. Available in a range of finishes, they are a simple but effective way to enhance both safety and durability in high-traffic environments.
Windows, doors and glazed side panels can be incorporated to create partially or fully enclosed spaces. These features improve protection from the elements and increase user comfort while maintaining natural light.
Integrated signage can also be included within the structure to support branding, wayfinding or safety communication, ensuring visibility without compromising the overall design.
By combining versatile standard options with a wide selection of optional extras, Twinfix delivers canopy and glazing systems that are precisely aligned with the needs of each project. The result is a durable, secure and visually cohesive solution designed to perform reliably in its environment.
