The Cassette Awning Difference
Markilux Provides Leading 21st Century Technology & Innovation To Commercial Awnings
When a Markilux commercial awning, canopy or exterior window shade is retracted, a sleek, elegant cassette is all you can see. The awning fabric cover, tensioning arms and mechanisms roll up and are stored in a closed cassette designed to blend seamlessly with the building's exterior decor. Since the awning fabric and mechanisms are not exposed to the elements, the Markilux cassette awning has a significantly increased lifespan, a critical factor for commercial awning installations.Markilux cassette awnings are the results of generations of awning innovation and unmatched German Engineering. The "gold standard" for architects and designers in Europe for over 30 years, Markilux is now offering the only full range of cassette commercial awnings and solar shades available in Canada and the United States.

Open Awnings: 19th Century Style & Technology
Most awnings sold in the United States today are open awnings, a style in existence since the 19th century. That is a shame, because these open awnings seriously compromise both aesthetics and durability.If you review product literature from other awning companies, you'll see many images of extended awnings. However, you'll rarely see a picture of a closed awning or a close-up photo of the fabric. The reason is simple: up close, they are unattractive and, when closed, even more so.
Some have described the look of standard open awnings as looking like a giant roll of paper towels hanging off the side of your house, with some added ugly metal hardware hanging below. While this aesthetic may be acceptable for an inexpensive shade solution, it clearly does not fit with most commercial properties.
Open awnings also suffer from a durability perspective. With open awnings, both the awning fabric and are mechanisms remain fully exposed to the elements, which shortens their effective lifespans.
