markilux 900

When the summer sun beats down relentlessly on the balcony, what we covet most is a shady sojourn. For renters and homeowners, this usually means battling with sunshades, because built-in cassette awnings are not the easiest of things to install. The markilux 900 is a wedge-in awning with folding arm technology and a cassette. Not only does it optimally protect the fabric and mechanism against the effects of the weather; it can also be quickly installed without any major interference in the building structure. Pitch of between 5 and 70 degrees can be individually adjusted for a clear view of the surroundings or a little more privacy. And the option of motorised operation further improves handling convenience. “The markilux 900 is a really beautiful, detailed system with an attractive rounded cassette and excellent technical functionality,” said the jury. “The different installation options, which only require a few drill holes, are also great. The system is easily dismantled for relocation to another home – and that really is a major advantage.” This flexibility was an aspect that the manufacturer particularly focused on in the development process, and it is also reflected in the individual configuration options for dimensions, cassette colours and fabric designs. The markilux 900 easily blends into different living styles and building façades. High quality standards are just as important to the traditional company as the fact that all components are designed to be user-friendly and manufactured in a resource-saving and energy-efficient way. “Excellent workmanship is particularly evident in details such as the transitions between the individual components. A perfect balance between a robust design and a light and airy look has been achieved,” the jurors continued. markilux 900 is a functional sunshade that cuts a fine figure on any balcony.
