Our installation teams regularly work throughout Sussex:
The Markilux MX-3 is a slender full cassette awning that combines a clean appearance with practical function. This sturdy awning is designed to shade areas up to 6 metres wide whilst maintaining an understated appearance.
Self-supporting design: The cassette profile with brackets positioned at each end allows for bridging larger distances between fixing points. This makes it suitable for installations where wall support is limited.
Retractable awning: When closed, the folding arms are completely enclosed by the front profile, creating a clean, unified appearance. The cassette obscures the roller tube when extended, maintaining visual appeal.
Premium construction: Features a galvanised steel roller tube (Ø 85mm) with keyway for excellent stability, ensuring smooth fabric performance even at maximum widths. Moving parts are made from drop-forged aluminium for fracture resistance.
Dimensions: Cassette depth 230mm, height 120mm
Size range:
Minimum: 183cm wide × 150cm projection
Maximum: 600cm wide × 350cm projection
Wind Resistance: Class 2 (Beaufort 5) – withstands winds up to 37km/h
For operation, you can choose between a standard crank handle or motorisation.
The MX-4 represents avant-garde awning design with comprehensive lighting technology. This full cassette awning is engineered for large area coverage whilst offering multiple illumination options.
This awning stands out for the huge range of lighting options available. You can choose from warm white LEDs or RGB colour-changing lights that can be installed in various positions on your awning.
Dimensions: Cassette depth 275mm, height 235mm
Size range:
Minimum: 217cm wide × 150cm projection
Maximum: 700cm wide × 350cm projection
Wind resistance: Class 2 (Beaufort 5) – withstands winds up to 37km/h
Premium components: The innovative bionic tendon system provides low-friction, silent operation whilst being corrosion and UV resistant.
Mounting: Nearly invisible wall brackets ensure flush cassette connection to building. Tilt device technology with windlock mechanism ensures clean closing regardless of pitch.
Control systems: Compatible with Somfy TaHoma Switch for smart home integration
Winner of the prestigious iF Product Design Award, the 1600 is a semi-cassette awning featuring harmonious, semi-circular design language and impressive dimensional capabilities.
Dynamic coverboard: The rounded coverboard creates the appearance of a full cassette whilst remaining open underneath. During retraction, it automatically tilts to the awning’s pitch and closes seamlessly with the front profile.
Smart protection: An integrated brush prevents debris entering when the awning is closed. The coverboard provides excellent protection for the awning fabric against rain when retracted.
Dimensions: Coverboard depth 254mm, height 223mm
Size range:

Shadeplus: An optional Shadeplus drop valance can be installed on your awning, offering protection from low afternoon sun and prying eyes. A Shadeplus drop valance can help the area beneath your awning feel more cosy and private. Available up to 350cm projection. Radio-controlled operation also available with heights up to 210cm.
Premium folding arms: You can choose between traditional steel-link chain operation or innovative bionic tendon technology. While the steel-link chain is older and reliable, the bionic tendon offers a few more modern benefits. Bionic tendon operation is low-friction and noiseless. It also has superior corrosion and UV resistance compared to its traditional counterpart.
Germany’s premier awning model, the 6000 is a designer full cassette awning recognised with the Red Dot Design Award. This top-tier model offers unparalleled customisation and technical capability.
Oval cassette profile: The sophisticated oval shape creates a feeling of visual weightlessness whilst housing advanced components. The nuanced lines contribute to the awning’s beautiful appearance.
