Features of the markilux 970
Angular German Precision Meets Outdoor Comfort
Standard awnings often look bulky when closed, trapping leaves and moisture inside open frames. The Markilux 970 redefines outdoor shading with an ultra-slim, angular cassette that seals completely shut to protect high-performance solar fabrics from coastal elements.
Engineered in Germany and custom-fitted by A’besco across the Sutherland Shire, it blends urban architectural elegance with effortless daily performance—giving you precise sun control without disrupting your home’s modern lines.
- Markilux Shadeplus: Extend an optional vertical fabric blind directly from the front profile to block low-angle glare and secure instant privacy.
- LED Lighting: An LED-Line cassette provides stylish ambient illumination across your patio during evening hours.

Your markilux aperture colours
A Harmonious Triad of Frame, Cover, and Accent
The colour pairing of your cassette frame, fabric canopy, and front aperture profile transforms an awning into an architectural statement. Markilux systematises customisation by offering eight distinct accent panel shades designed to complement classic and contemporary coastal facades. From sleek minimalist monochromes to bold accent tones, tailor your outdoor shade feature to reflect your individual style.
Customised awnings
By pairing one of eight vibrant front panel aperture colours with seven frame finishes and over 200 nano-coated fabric patterns, you can create a truly bespoke outdoor shading feature.
Markilux front aperture panels allow the Markilux 970 to make a confident design statement on any exterior wall. Choose matching frame tones for subtle architectural integration, or select a contrasting front panel accent to highlight your outdoor entertaining space.
