A Markilux awning is more than just fabric and a frame. The brand offers a wide choice of accessories that enhance both comfort and convenience.
Motorised or remote-controlled operation with the option to integrate into smart home systems
Wind and sun sensors that automatically extend or retract the awning based on conditions
LED lighting built into the cassette or arms to create an inviting evening atmosphere
ShadePlus, an additional drop-down valance for extra protection from low sun or for added privacy
Hundreds of fabric patterns with excellent UV protection and colour fastness
These features allow you to enjoy your patio, terrace or balcony throughout the seasons.
The Northern Irish climate means there are a few extra factors to consider when choosing your awning.
Wind resistance is important, so a full cassette model with integrated protection is often the best choice
Correct pitch and drainage should be ensured to avoid water pooling during heavy rain
Regular cleaning and retraction during storms will prolong the life of the fabric
Planning permissions are rarely required, but always check if you live in a listed building or conservation area
By taking these points into account, you can make sure your awning is perfectly suited to local conditions.
