Frames
All markilux frames and components are powder coated in line with the quality assured industry standards of the German Industrial Standard for Component Surfaces (GISCS).
These stringent quality regulations ensure a durable and long lasting powder coating finish to protect your awnings exposed aluminium and steel components. Markilux supply colours from the Dupont K7 RAL classic range.
In coastal areas of New Zealand higher demands are placed on the markilux powder coating finish due to the constant exposure to a highly corrosive environment. Markilux have developed an extra corrosion resistance (ECR) finish which assures the highest possible adhesion of the powder coating finish to the awning components thanks to a pre-treatment process for all aluminium and steel surfaces. The ECR finish considerably improves the prevention of hairline cracks and crazed corrosion of the powder coating finish.
213 custom RAL colours are available to choose from if one of our standard colours does not match your requirements.
Fabrics
With the purchase of a markilux awning cover you have chosen a high-class quality product. All fabrics are manufactured on state-of-the-art weaving mills. Meticulous checks also ensure that we only ever supply functionally flawless covers.
However, awning covers do not only serve as effective protection from the sun. They also have a decisive impact on the colour ambience and hence the atmosphere under an awning. For even greater enjoyment of the colour provided by the shade of an awning, markilux has created an extensive collection of more than 250 fabrics made from innovative, high-tech polyester yarns.
Due to the increased strength of UV radiation, healthcare during our leisure time is gaining in importance. Therefore it is important to know just how many harmful UVA and UVB rays will pass through the cover when purchasing an awning. markilux fabrics in dark colours afford 100 per cent protection. Lighter colours (right through to plain white) stop up to 97 per cent of UV radiation.
Automation
Using the latest in awning technology, markilux awnings can be operated at the push of a button and can be managed using automated control systems that allow the awning to react to set levels of sunlight and wind intensity, providing seasonal protection for your awning, depending on where you live. markilux awnings also cater for all home automation and building management systems.
