FAQS about the markilux 779
The markilux 779 is a premium under-glass awning featuring a compact, square full cassette. It is installed directly beneath glass patio roofs, verandas, and conservatories to protect against heat and glare.
The primary difference is cassette shape: the 779 features a modern, square cassette (125 × 125 mm), whereas the 879 features a rounded cassette profile. The markilux 779 can also cover larger total shading areas and offers direct cassette-integrated LED lighting.
In addition to standard manual winding handles, automated motor systems are available. These allow smooth control via handheld remote, smartphone app/smart home integration, or automated sun and wind sensors.
Under-glass awnings keep the fabric cover fully protected from rain, dirt, leaf debris, and harsh weather. They also allow for integrated LED lighting and heating options right beneath your glass roof to create a warm, indoor-style living room ambiance outside.
Thanks to high-tension internal mechanics and robust construction, a single unit can shade areas up to 27 m² (e.g., up to 600 × 450 cm or 400 × 600 cm).
Depending on overall size and system choices (such as adding tracfix gapless tracks), the markilux 779 achieves Wind Resistance Class 2 or 3 (withstanding winds up to 48 km/h).
markilux tracfix is a zip-guided track mechanism that securely holds the edges of the fabric inside the side rails. This leaves no light gap between the cover and guide tracks, optimizing fabric tension and significantly increasing wind stability.
You can integrate shadeplus drop-down valances for low afternoon sun, dimmable LED lighting lines (in cassette, guide tracks, or support tube), LED spotlights, and subtle infrared radiant heaters.
Yes, vertical awnings and retractable side screens can be added to shade the sides of your glass enclosure. This guards against low sun, wind gusts, and neighboring views.
