Be bold with colour with the markilux 970 cassette awning

A well-thought-out architectural design and a carefully considered choice of colours for outdoor spaces significantly enhance the practical value of outdoor seating areas. This home story on an exclusive property in Roeselare, Belgium, shows how two high-quality markilux 970 cassette awnings, fitted with yellow-and-white striped awning covers, serve as stylish eye-catchers. Against the clean-lined, dark clinker brick façade of the modern villa, the light-coloured solar protection for the Patio creates a deliberate, summery contrast that combines architectural rigour with inviting cosiness.

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

The markant 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 ensures a friendly atmosphere. The sleek, cubic shape of the cassette, finished in the frame colour RAL 9016 (traffic white), blends discreetly and flush with the modern façade structure, emphasising the building’s linear architecture.

It was particularly important to the client that the solar protection system integrated perfectly into the villa’s overall visual appearance and that all components were precisely coordinated. To achieve this, a visit was made to the showroom of the specialist dealer responsible in the run-up to the project. A comprehensive, personalised Awning advice consultation took place at this showroom. The suitable model was selected, the fabric chosen and the frame colour decided on the spot. This close coordination between the client and the specialist dealer ensures that the final shading solution meets the high expectations both technically and aesthetically. The professional planning, the bespoke fabrication to the nearest millimetre and the safe fixture on the challenging clinker brick façade were carried out entirely by the certified specialist dealer.

  • When the markilux 970 awning cover is fully extended, it creates a unique, light-filled atmosphere that conveys both a sense of comfort and freshness.
  • As a closed-cassette awning, the markilux 970 blends perfectly with the architecture of the house and provides modern solar protection.
  • As a closed-cassette awning, the markilux 970 blends so seamlessly into the overall appearance of the house that the solar protection is barely visible when retracted.
  • The fully extended markilux 970 cassette awning, with its sun-drenched, yellow-and-white-striped acrylic fabric and crisp white lateral arms, is a visual highlight on the white clinker brick facade.

Added value and advantages of the sun shading solution

Customised design

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

That holiday feeling at home

The light, sun-drenched awning cover, with its yellow and white block stripes, instantly brings the feeling of a Mediterranean summer holiday to your own garden. Under the generous shade of the cassette awning, a deeply relaxing atmosphere is created that makes you forget the daily grind straight away. Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely breakfast just like in a hotel, reading in the lounge with that holiday vibe, or working in your 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 colour ‘traffic white’, blends absolutely seamlessly into the linear, modern architecture of the villa. When retracted, the compact cassette sits flush with the façade, meaning that the entire solar protection solution is barely noticeable against the light-coloured clinker brickwork. This precise colour matching ensures that the house’s aesthetic is fully preserved, whilst the solar protection discreetly recedes into the background when closed.

Favourite spot in the shade

The markilux 970 transforms your patio into a cool oasis and ensures that your favourite spot outdoors remains fully usable even in bright sunshine and high summer temperatures. The high-quality fabric cover effectively blocks out the heat, so you can relax, eat or work in the generous shade provided by the awning. Instead of having to retreat indoors on hot days, you can enjoy the summer in your own garden in complete comfort and without a care in the world.
