Markilux 1710
Stylish and contemporary, the compact Markilux 1710 is a semi-cassette awning that’s suitable for widths up to 7m. It can be coupled to cover larger areas and comes in a variety of frame colours and fabric choices, so you can customise it to your personal taste. The modular system of the 1710 is elegant and features organic curved shapes for an aesthetically pleasing awning that suits any home.
The torque bar and fabric roller tube blend together to create a droplet-like roller tube support bracket for an awning that’s pleasing to the eye and practical. The front profile of the 1710 is made from extruded aluminium with an integrated gutter and water drainage spouts that are virtually invisible to the eye, quietly working in the background to direct water away. Markilux are known for their designs and this awning is no exception, with polished chrome end caps available to upgrade your awning even further.
This awning delivers exceptional strength so it’s a great choice for larger homes or commercial buildings. The unique bionic tendon technology is made using high-tech fibres for incredible high tensile strength against strong winds. The 1710 is also available in a stretch version to cover deep, narrow patios and balconies.
The Markilux 1710 is rated for wind speeds of up to 20mph or Beaufort 5, and delivers UV protection with non-fading, water-resistant acrylic fabric. A previous winner of the Red Dot Design Award, when you choose the 1710, you can benefit from quality and innovative design features.
