Customize Your Shade Solution For Superior Performance & Value
Markilux retractable awnings provide elegant and high-performance shade solutions for any outdoor commercial space. The inclusion of integrated lighting and heating enables you to maximize the value of your outdoor space even after the sun goes down. Our unique "Shade-Plus" drop-down valance enables you to control your shade solution all day and all year while maximizing privacy.
Integrated Heating Takes The Chill Out Of The Air
Markilux awnings create protected areas for outdoor seating and dining, providing comfort and protection from the
sun. But there is no reason this same outdoor space can't be utilized in comfort all evening long for dining and outdoor gatherings.
When the sun goes down and it starts getting chilly, the Markilux's infrared heaters provide warmth immediately and let people enjoy more of the evening outdoors in comfort. Our integrated electric outdoor heaters use unique infrared ray technology--the same type of rays that warm your body under the sun.
These heaters provide evenly distributed and instant warmth, with no heating-up phase. With efficient directionally radiated heat, this proven infrared technology only heats up surfaces the rays touch, not the surrounding air. Since our heaters don't heat the air, they are not affected by cooling breezes and save as much as 30% on energy costs in comparison with gas or quartz radiating heaters.
Markilux heaters include an attractive, unobtrusive housing design in aluminum that can be powder coated to match the color of the awning. The heater can stay in place all year round--the housing is weather-proof and splash-proof, and can be attached to the wall or with special brackets directly to your awning.
A single infrared heater can warm an area of 100 to 140 square feet. The replaceable infrared lamps have an expected life of 5000 hours.
Integrated Lighting For Romantic Outdoor Spaces
The right lighting creates atmosphere, both inside your building and on outdoor areas. But who says that light sources for your outdoor space have to be mounted on the wall?
The Markilux 6000 and 1600 retractable commercial awnings are available with directional spotlights integrated discreetly into the front profile of the awning. The lighting transforms your awning into a perfect, romantic atmosphere under which people can enjoy long summer evenings outdoors.
Shade-Plus Valance For Custom Sun Control & Privacy
Does early morning or late afternoon sun come in too low to be fully blocked by an awning? Would it be nice
to create added privacy for your outdoor spaces?
Markilux's innovative Shade-Plus drop-down valance blocks out the blinding rays of the sun while maximizing privacy. Shade-Plus is a clever invention from Markilux which provides custom sun protection under your awning. An additional roller tube is built into the front profile of the awning, from which a second awning cover can be lowered--to a maximum drop of almost 7 feet. When the Shade-Plus is dropped, a wonderful, shady, additional room in the open air is created.
The height of the sun is dependent upon the time of day, the season, your location and the direction your outdoor area faces. A Shade-Plus drop-down valance provides completely controllable, custom protection from the sun and all the privacy desired. Shade-Plus is so appreciated that we recommend one for every Markilux installation.
A Markilux retractable awning with Shade-Plus guarantees custom protection and privacy--a perfect reason to order it along with your awning!
