Our markilux awnings: an overview
Our awnings are available as textile shade-givers in numerous different designs. They are most commonly, although not exclusively, used as the following:
Most awnings consist of a metal frame, i.e. a cassette, folding arms, guide tracks or ropes, of an awning cover as well as of different optional accessories, such as wind and rain sensors.
All markilux awnings are made to measure. This means that the awning is produced to fit a precise location. In this way, patios, balconies and other areas can be individually shaded as required. The colour of the frame and awning fabric of custom-made awnings can also be freely selected. In this way, optimal sun protection and an individual design are achieved to suit the particular location and its style.
The covers of most awnings can be retracted and extended. Depending on the model and equipment, an awning can be opened or closed manually with a crank handle or electrically with a motor.

FAQ - Questions and answers about awnings
What does draw mean for awnings?
The awning draw refers to the retractable and extendable part of an awning, which is covered with awning fabric. As a rule, the draw is defined as a value when specifying the dimensions of awnings. Thus, two of the most important size specifications you should consider when buying an awning are the length and the draw.
What is a valance on an awning?
The valance of an awning is the fabric hanging vertically from the front profile. On the one hand, the valance serves as a decorative element and accordingly exists in different designs, such as in straight or wave form.
On the other hand, the valance also serves as vertical sun protection, but quickly reaches its limits in this function due to its often narrow design. If you want better protection from the low sun, we recommend markilux shadeplus - the perfect complement for your patio awning.
How big should be an awning?
Instead of asking how big an awning should be, we recommend a different method of determining the right awning size. Use the following questions and hints to find the right size for your awning:
How big is the area you want to shade?
Where is the area (terrace, balcony, etc.) that you would like to shade, or from which direction and at what time of day does the sun hit this area?
Before you reach for paper, ruler and calculator, why not try out our practical sun compass? With this tool you can determine the shade and thus the ideal size of your planned awning - depending on the compass direction and incidence of light - with just a few clicks.
Which awning color is best?
If you are faced with the question "Which awning color is best?", the following points can help you decide:
- What awning color to choose - from a practical point of view? As a rule, dark, muted colors are less sensitive than bright, bright colors. However, you by no means have to choose the color for your awning according to this principle! The high-quality markilux awning fabrics are highly water and dirt repellent. Thanks to their excellent properties, they are hard-wearing and particularly durable in any color version. So thanks to the high quality of markilux awning fabrics, you can choose the awning color that suits your taste.
- Which color to choose for an awning - from a design perspective? markilux awnings are available in every conceivable color and with various patterns. Even color and other design requests that are not available in our standard range can be realized on request. Considering this large selection, the question naturally arises: which awning color is best? Try to find a color that you like and that matches the color of your home. In doing so, the awning can happily harmonize or deliberately contrast with the color of the wall plaster, window and door frames, and even other design elements such as the patio floor. But what to do if your taste or even the color of the facade of your home changes and the awning frame color no longer fits? That's no reason to worry! After all, you can simply have your markilux awning re-covered after a few years. Why not order some of our fabric samples to get a live impression of the colors, their intensity and the feel of our awning fabrics.
Why are many awnings striped?
Awnings with stripes - it can hardly be more classic. But why are many awnings striped? This design could prevail for several reasons:
Stripes in different colors create a fabric surface on which impurities are less visible and disturbing.
The striped pattern enables particularly clean cut-off and connection points.
Striped fabrics are associated with vacation, sea, beach, leisure, which is why they are particularly popular for awnings. Demand determines the supply.
Nevertheless, there are definitely other colors and patterns for awnings.

How high should you put an awning?
When planning an awning, you should, of course, consider the height. Not only the height of the cassette is relevant, but also the inclination angle of the awning when extended. You should therefore take the latter into account. As a guideline, it is recommended to calculate with a headroom of approx. 2 m at an inclination of approx. 15 degrees for extended awnings.
In the markilux range you will also find special awnings with a particularly large inclination angle.
How does an electric awning work?
Electric awning, of course, requires a motor that is connected to a power source. This motor makes the awning extend and retract automatically. Electric awnings can be controlled by wall switch, remote control or even by smartphone app.
Likewise, electric awnings can be equipped with various accessories for even more comfort, including:
+ rain sensor
+ sun sensor
+ wind monitor
These accessories extend or retract your awning independently depending on the weather conditions and are therefore a very practical addition to the basic equipment. Explore now the possibilities around awning accessories that the electric awnings from markilux offer you.
How to clean an awning?
When you buy a markilux awning, you will hardly have to ask yourself this question. Because the exclusive markilux awnings are equipped with a special awning fabric with a self-cleaning effect. The highlight: If water drops hit the awning cover, they absorb dirt particles and roll off.
If you still need to clean your awning, the following procedure is recommended:
Remove loose dirt, such as dust or damp leaves, with a soft brush.
Small stains that have settled can be treated carefully with a 5 percent soap solution (max. water temperature 30 degrees Celsius).
Can you leave awnings open when it rains?
Awnings can certainly withstand light drizzle. However, in heavy rain you should retract your awning to protect the awning fabric, folding arms and the technology.
In the case of pergola awnings, you can lower a pillar and thus drain off the rainwater in a guided manner. Awning systems from markilux even have special holes in the awning fabric and front gutters in the frame through which the water can run off.
What happens when an awning gets wet?
Awnings can withstand isolated rain showers. In the long run, permanent moisture can damage the awning fabric, frame and technology. Therefore, you should also allow a wet awning to dry completely before retracting it.
What wind strength can withstand awnings?
Depending on the variant (brand, model, optimal options such as trackfix) awnings withstand weak or strong wind. What is the stability of an awning, as a rule, can be found in the product description.
The markilux awnings are assigned to wind resistance classes. For example, an awning with wind resistance class 3 can withstand wind strength 6.
Our experts will be happy to advise you on the subject of wind strength. Contact us directly or get in touch with a markilux specialist partner near you.
