Ministry of Defence

Twinfix designs, manufactures and installs robust canopy and glazing systems for the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Justice and the wider defence and custodial estate. Our solutions are engineered for safety, reliability and longevity, supporting the demanding requirements of military bases, accommodation blocks, training facilities and secure environments across the UK.

Built for Security and Durability

MOD environments demand construction solutions that perform under the toughest conditions. Twinfix systems combine the inherent strength of aluminium with the proven resilience of polycarbonate to deliver long-lasting, low-maintenance structures suitable for secure and high-traffic settings.

Our aluminium framework is powder coated for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability, ensuring consistent performance in exposed or high-risk locations. For projects requiring a softer, more sympathetic aesthetic – such as accommodation zones or heritage military sites – our timber-effect powder coating provides a robust, visually complementary finish.

Safety and Compliance

Safety and compliance are critical across all MOD sites. The Twinfix Multi-Link-Panel Non-Fragile (NF) system offers a fully tested and proven roof glazing solution that meets the requirements of ACR[M]001:2019 for non-fragility, ensuring roof areas can be safely accessed for maintenance without compromising security or structural integrity.

Polycarbonate glazing provides exceptional impact resistance and UV stability, offering a safe, durable alternative to glass. Its lightweight properties reduce structural loading, making it ideal for both new-build and refurbishment projects across the defence estate.

For areas requiring complete shade or enhanced protection – such as equipment zones, vehicle shelters, or storage facilities – our Alu-Link-Panel system delivers a solid aluminium roof solution with full weatherproofing and long-term durability.

Controlled Installation and Minimal Disruption

Twinfix understands the operational constraints of MoD and MoJ environments, where security, access control and minimal disruption are paramount. Our modular canopy and glazing systems are factory-assembled and pre-engineered for efficient on-site installation, reducing programme durations, improving consistency and minimising time on site. This supports compliance with restricted-area procedures while maintaining operational continuity.

With in-depth knowledge of defence-sector working practices, and a workforce where many team members hold BPSS clearance, Twinfix is a trusted partner for secure, compliant and efficient delivery across sensitive MOD projects.

Versatile Applications

 

Our canopy and glazing systems are used across a wide range of defence settings, including:

  • Covered walkways between accommodation blocks and training facilities
  • Roof glazing for workshops, vehicle bays, and maintenance areas
  • Entrance and access canopies for administrative or welfare buildings
  • Secure, weather-protected areas for equipment or personnel assembly

Each installation is designed to meet the specific operational and environmental requirements of the site, ensuring a practical, safe, and long-lasting solution.

Sustainable and Long-Lasting

Twinfix products are manufactured using fully recyclable aluminium and polycarbonate, supporting the sustainability objectives of the defence estate. Their inherent durability and low maintenance requirements help to reduce lifecycle costs while enhancing long-term asset resilience and operational efficiency.

The natural daylight provided by translucent polycarbonate glazing also contributes to energy-efficient design, minimising reliance on artificial lighting in covered areas such as workshops or walkways.

Proven Expertise in Defence Infrastructure

Twinfix has extensive experience operating within secure and controlled environments, delivering projects that combine precision engineering, reliability, and compliance. Our in-house design, manufacture, and installation teams work with professionalism and discretion, meeting the high standards expected across the MOD estate.
