Key Features for Comfort & Sophistication
Clean Lines and Heavy-Duty Performance for Coastal Entertaining
Large, exposed outdoor decks and verandas become uncomfortably hot under intense summer heat waves, while standard folding-arm awnings often lack the front pillar support needed for expansive projections in windy coastal locations.
The Markilux® Pergola Style solves this by pairing front structural pillars with high-tension track guidance. Engineered in Germany and installed by A’besco technicians, its square posts and full-cassette housing complement contemporary home design while providing reliable, large-format solar defense.
Clean, Minimalistic Design
Defined by crisp geometric lines and square structural profiles, the Markilux® Pergola Style integrates seamlessly with modern architectural homes, delivering a refined, unobtrusive visual profile for expansive decks and patios.
Smart LED Lighting (mx light)
Create an inviting nighttime ambiance with optional mx light—intelligent LED lighting available in warm white or vibrant RGB spectrums. Recessed cleanly into the cassette housing, side guide tracks, support pillars, and footplate covers, lighting is easily dimmed or scheduled via smartphone app.
Optimal Fabric Protection
A streamlined full-cassette aluminium housing completely encloses the retracted fabric canopy, sealing out harsh UV rays, rain, and coastal salt spray to maximise textile longevity and maintain a pristine exterior finish.
Exceptional Fabric Tension
Featuring patented Markilux® Tracfix technology, a continuous zip-like side guide system keeps the canopy permanently taut, eliminates gaps between fabric and track, and delivers superior wind stability against coastal breezes.
Efficient Water Drainage
An optional lowerable telescopic pillar allows you to adjust pitch on demand during sudden rain showers, ensuring fast, effective water runoff so your outdoor entertaining area stays dry and comfortable.
Stable & Secure
For freestanding installations where wall mounting is unavailable, weighted ballast boxes provide firm structural anchoring, ensuring your louvered pergola awning remains rock-solid in breezy environments.
