The Many Advantages Of Markilux Awnings & Exterior Shades
High-quality, stylish awnings have been an important part of the European lifestyle for decades, for both residential and commercial properties. They are prized for their sun protection, their sizable contribution to a green lifestyle, their ability to expand living space, and because they add value to homes and commercial buildings.
Markilux, Europe's premier awning manufacturer, is now marketing the only complete line of fully-enclosed retractable awnings and exterior solar screens (exterior vertical blinds) in the USA. For the first time, North American residential and commercial properties can enjoy the durability, practicality, and elegance of the world's finest awnings.
Our Commercial Awnings & Exterior Solar Shades Are Engineered Like No Other
- All products are produced with drop-forged aluminum or steel, instead of cast parts which are susceptible to
stress fractures and breaking;
- A larger diameter upper arm provides rigidity without adding weight:
- Retractable arms are designed for optimum tension on the fabric, so it looks better and lasts longer;
- 85mm fabric rollers, larger than others in the industry, bend minimally to guarantee a stiff awning cover;
- Steel-link chains, gas-piston technology, or kevlar "bionic tendons" are used in the arms with superior strength and longevity--no other awning manufacturer in the world matches Markilux quality;
- Teflon-coated bronze bushings allow for the smoothest gliding action when the awning is extended or retracted;
- All bolts and screws are stainless steel for maximum life and performance;
- Markilux is the only awning manufacturer to win the coveted Design Award at the prestigious R&T Global Design Fair, every year since 1988
