FAQS about the markilux 770
The markilux 770 is a premium external on-glass awning featuring a compact, square full cassette. It is specifically designed to shade small to medium-sized conservatories and glass roof structures.
Both models offer identical internal mechanics, gas-piston tensioning, and performance ratings. The key difference is cassette geometry: the markilux 770 features a square 125 × 125 mm cassette for cubic architecture, while the markilux 870 features a round cassette profile.
You can control the awning using a radio remote handset, a smartphone app, or automated weather sensors that automatically extend the canopy during direct sun and retract it during high winds or heavy rain.
External on-glass awnings block solar radiation before it passes through the glass, preventing greenhouse heat build-up far more effectively than interior blinds. Mounting outside also leaves your interior ceiling space 100% open.
A single markilux 770 unit can shade an area up to 18 m² with maximum dimensions of 450 × 400 cm (width × projection).
The markilux 770 is certified to Wind Resistance Class 3, meaning it remains safe and stable in wind speeds up to Beaufort Force 6 (38–48 km/h).
tracfix is an optional zip-guidance track system that secures the sides of the fabric canopy inside the tracks. It eliminates the light gap between track and cover, enhances fabric tension, and increases wind stability.
We recommend specialized fabrics like perfotex, transolair, and vuscreen ALU. These breathable weaves feature micro-perforations or aluminum particle coatings that reflect extreme heat while allowing soft, natural light to illuminate your room.
