Markilux Retractable Awnings Deliver Quality From The Inside Out
When you see a Markilux retractable awning or exterior solar screen, you can tell immediately that it is special from its elegant design and seamless integration into your outdoor environment.
But much of what makes Markilux retractable awnings truly extraordinary is the quality that you can't see--quality from the inside out.
Premier Parts & Materials In Every Detail
Markilux products are all produced with drop-forged moving arm parts in aluminum or steel. These are much stronger materials than the cast parts used by other awning manufacturers.
The retractable awning cassettes, moving arm parts, top gutters, roller support brackets and attachment brackets are manufactured are made to the highest quality standard as measured by the German TUV organization. Drop -forged and extruded aluminum parts provide superior tensile strength compared to the cast metal parts used by most awning companies. This provides maximum durability and long life. At the same time, these components are also the most aesthetically pleasing.
A few of the other "quality you can't see" elements offered only by Markilux retractable awnings:
- Strong 85 mm rollers bend to the very minimum, guaranteeing a particularly stiff fabric cover. Only Markilux uses a roller tube of such size and strength.
- Extremely strong suspension tubes are produced in steel, galvanized and powder coated for long-lasting performance and a pleasant appearance.
- Teflon-coated bronze bushes in the arm bearings allow for extraordinarily smooth and quiet gliding action when the awning is extended or retracted.
- Unique, High-Tech Awning Fabrics offer an exceptional range of color and performance characteristics. We are the only awning company in the world to manufacture our own awning fabrics to our own demanding specifications. Each is tear-proof, colorfast, UV-resistant and protect against sun, rain, heat and cold. They are specially coated for waterproofing and are resistant to dirt, oil and grease.
- The outstanding appearance of Markilux awning fabrics is due to our first-class, in-house design team that have won numerous presitigious design awards.
