Markilux Pergola Awning Features
MARKILUX PERGOLA SYSTEMS IN DETAIL
The markilux retractable pergola awning is the top-of-the-line pergola shading system on the market. These pergolas boast German-engineering, high-wind resistance, luxury fabric options, sleek looks, a plethora of customizations, and large coverage.
Pergolas create a more enclosed space than retractable awnings or traditional awnings. The fabric and frame extends to slender, yet sturdy posts that are bolted down (or anchored with larger post bases). Posts are available in square and rounded options. The fabric moves along set guide rails to ensure smooth operation, tight fabric tension, and a seamless look that has no sagging or drooping.
The fabric extends up to 6 meters (just over 19.5 feet) from your home and can be up to 6 meters wide (just over 19.5 feet), creating over 280 square feet of shade from just one markilux pergola. Up to 5 pergolas can be coupled side by side, to cover massive spaces in cool, retractable shade.
Control the motorized pergola cover from a remote control, app for iPhone, iPad or Android, and/or wall switch. Create custom automation schedules for added convenience!
Add a vertical shade / blind on any of the sides or front of the pergola to block low-lying sunlight, controlled via remote-control motor.
Find a color that matches your home and palette with 7 options including traffic white, metallic aluminum, gray brown, anthracite metallic, stone gray metallic, off-white textured, & Havana brown textured. Additional premium colors are also available.
Add spotlights that can be dimmed and rotated to the frame of your pergola. Add subtle, mood lighting with LED strips.
With this many color and pattern options, you’re guaranteed to find a match you’ll love for years to come.
The posts come in 2 shapes - round for a conventional look or square for a more modern, clean look.
The closed pergola awning’s fabric is stored and completely protected within the cassette, available in 3 shapes - round, square, or a more compact square version.
With telescoping posts, the angle of the pergola and awning can be adjusted on one or both sides for additional shade coverage and lower sun angles.
