Markilux Is The World's Designer Awning Technology Innovator
A few of the innovative product developments introduced by Markilux include:
- Kevlar "bionic tendons" for added arm strength and longevity
- Sunsilk SNC (sunsilk nano clean) designer awning fabric for a self-cleaning finish that is weather and fade-resistant
- Ultrasonic bonding and laser cutting of fabric seams improves appearance and durability
In Europe, where awnings are a way of life, Markilux is the "gold standard" for retractable awnings in both residential and commercial settings. Markilux is the premier choice for retractable shade solutions for designers and architects the world over.
Fully Retractable Awning Mechanisms Engineered To Last
- All products are produced with drop-forged aluminum or steel (rather than cast parts which are susceptible to stress fractures and breakage)
- Larger diameter upper arm provides rigidity without adding weight, keeping optimum tension on the fabric
- 85mm fabric rollers, larger than any others in the awning industry, bend minimally for maximum tensile strength and a taut fabric cover that is more aesthetically pleasing.
- The only awning manufacturer to use rounded steel-link chains, gas piston technology, or kevlar "bionic tendons" in the arms, rather than cables (which will fray and break over time)
- Teflon-coated bushings provide a smooth gliding action and all bolts and screws are stainless steel
