Be Bold with Color: The markilux 970 Cassette Awning

A well-thought-out architectural design and a deliberate choice of colors for outdoor spaces significantly enhance the usability of outdoor seating areas. This home story about an exclusive project in Roeselare, Belgium, showcases how two high-quality markilux 970 cassette awnings with yellow-and-white striped fabric serve as stylish focal points. Against the clean-lined, dark clinker brick facade of the modern villa, the light-colored sunshade for the terrace creates a deliberate, summery contrast that combines architectural austerity with inviting coziness.

Due to its precise south-facing orientation, the villa’s spacious terrace is exposed to intense sunlight. To ensure a comfortable temperature here, two markilux 970 cassette awnings, each measuring 450 cm x 300 cm, were installed. Together, they provide flexible and reliable shade over a total area of 27 square meters.

The striking striped design filters daylight in a particularly pleasant way. A high-quality acrylic fabric from the markilux collection (Sunbow 41620 pattern) is used here. It creates a bright, warm glow that fosters a welcoming atmosphere. The sleek, cubic shape of the cassette, finished in RAL 9016 (traffic white), blends discreetly and flush with the modern facade structure, emphasizing the building’s linear architecture.

It was particularly important to the client that the sunshade integrate perfectly into the villa’s overall visual appearance and that all components be precisely coordinated. To achieve this, the client visited the showroom of the responsible specialist partner in advance. There, a comprehensive, personalized awning consultation took place. Right on site, the appropriate model was selected, the fabric was chosen, and the frame color was determined. This close coordination between the customer and the specialist partner ensures that the final shading solution meets the high expectations both technically and aesthetically. The professional planning, the custom fabrication with millimeter precision, and the secure installation on the challenging clinker brick facade were all carried out entirely by the certified specialist partner.

Added value and advantages of the sun shading solution

Custom Design

The sunlight filtering through is softened by the yellow-and-white block stripes, creating a warm, golden glow even on slightly cloudy days. This harmonious contrast has been shown to lift your spirits and instantly creates a welcoming, Mediterranean feel in your favorite spot.

That Vacation Feeling at Home

The bright, sun-drenched awning fabric, with its yellow-and-white block stripes, instantly brings the feeling of a Mediterranean summer vacation to your own backyard. Under the generous shade of the cassette awning, a deeply relaxing atmosphere takes hold, making you forget the daily grind in an instant. Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely breakfast like at a hotel, reading in the lounge with a vacation vibe, or working in an inspiring outdoor office—this retreat turns every day spent outdoors into a little break from the daily grind.

Seamless Architectural Integration

The timeless, angular housing of the markilux 970 cassette awning, in the frame color “Traffic White,” blends absolutely seamlessly into the villa’s linear, modern architecture. When retracted, the compact cassette sits flush with the wall, so that the entire sun protection system is virtually invisible against the light-colored clinker brick facade. Thanks to this precise color matching, the home’s aesthetic is fully preserved, while the sun protection discreetly recedes into the background when closed.

Favorite Spot in the Shade

The markilux 970 transforms your patio into a cool oasis and ensures that your favorite outdoor spot remains fully usable even in bright sunshine and midsummer temperatures. The high-quality fabric effectively blocks the heat, so you can relax, eat, or work in the generous shade of the awning.
