Canopies and covered areas are a cost effective, low maintenance


alternative to an extension, while still providing much needed outside space


curriculum, and desired uses. Having well designed, flexible spaces ensure that as requirements and demands change, the limitations are school heads’ imagination and not the environment they’re in. Canopies and covered areas are a cost effective, low maintenance alternative to an extension, while still providing much needed outside space. Canopies can be used in conjunction with roller shutters or vertical glazing to provide multipurpose spaces, offering additional space with the benefits of being inside, outside. Attractively designed, sympathetic to existing architecture and blending with surroundings, they offer significant benefits as learning spaces or covered multi-purpose areas. Made from hard wearing, long life


products such as aluminium and polycarbonate, which resist the damage of exposure to the British weather and are sustainable and environmentally friendly, due to their ability to be recycled, canopies and covered areas provide a true long-term investment. There is no substitute for having a flexible outdoor space that can provide somewhere safe and secure when required, but which can quickly and easily be opened up to allow the outside inside.


Learning by example One recent example saw Twinfix, a manufacturer of canopies and covered spaces, design, manufacture and install a free-standing monopitch canopy with an aluminium frame to complement a new classroom. The roof comprises an innovative panel system which meets relevant safety tests, making it a safe choice for the school environment. Using polycarbonate glazing materials for the specification provided protection against UV to those beneath the canopy. It is also incredibly tough and is designed not to crack or craze with use.
