markilux frame colours

for your awning

The awning frame and the other visible parts of markilux awnings are usually powder-coated. This coating fulfills the international quality guidelines according to GSB (Gütegemeinschaft von Bauteilen) and has proven itself in the temperate climate of Central Europe.

The standard equipment of all markilux awnings - with the exception of markilux 1300 and markilux 900 - includes powder coating in the following awning colors: traffic white RAL 9016, white aluminum RAL 9006, grey brown similar to RAL 8019, off-white textured finish 5233, stone grey metallic 5215, anthracite metallic 5204, havana brown textured finish 5229.

In the case of higher demands on the awning frame and in locations with high emissions, such as chemical plants, strong industrial exhaust gases and near the coast with increased salt and moisture content of the air, it is recommended to use a suitable chemical pre-treatment to reduce the risk of so-called hairline corrosion of the frame color.

Aluminum components of the awning frame are pretreated before the actual polyester powder coating. According to the current state of the art, this pre-treatment process represents a significant improvement against hairline corrosion of the frame color.

In summary, this process is described in the RAL-RG 631 and RAL-GZ 663 quality and test regulations for piece coating of aluminum and steel components and in the Qualicoat regulations.

On request, markilux awnings with this coating can be custom-made with pre-anodized coating in accordance with RAL RG 631 and GZ 663.

General information on the care of coated awning parts: At locations with high emission values or climatically aggressive factors, the surface must be carefully cleaned of the "catalysts" of filiform corrosion formation (so-called starter salts, especially chlorides) at short intervals, depending on the degree.

Timeless classics such as anthracite metallic, traffic white and off-white textured finish have enjoyed great popularity for years. They match many architectural styles and look elegant and discreet.

Recently, modern colors such as metallic aluminum, stone grey metallic and grey brown have also been gaining popularity. They give the awning a sophisticated touch and add a stylish accent.

Both options are possible and have their own appeal. A harmonious color combination in which the frame color matches the façade looks calm and elegant. A deliberate contrast can emphasize the awning and make it an eye-catcher. It is important that the colors still harmonize well with each other.

Clear, minimalist colors such as anthracite metallic, traffic white or stone grey metallic are recommended for a modern look. Dark brown tones or a subtle black can also emphasize a modern aesthetic. Avoid playful patterns or too many different colors to maintain a clean and contemporary impression.

Yes, markilux offers the option to design frames in custom colors according to customer requirements. This allows you to perfectly match your awning to your individual ideas and the color scheme of your home.
