AWNINGS<br />
More attractive seating outside<br />
markilux furnished<br />
a holiday centre in<br />
the "Wilder Kaiser”<br />
mountain range in<br />
Austria with an<br />
awning system<br />
In the Austrian village of Kirchdorf in Tyrol, at the<br />
foot of The Wild Kaiser massif, the<br />
“Oberhabach” hotel and farm is the perfect<br />
place for a holiday. To offer guests the greatest<br />
comfort on the large outdoor terrace, the family<br />
who owns the property decided to have a new<br />
awning system installed.<br />
“They wanted a new shading system to replace<br />
the parasols used up till now to create more<br />
space for seating and provide protection against<br />
the rain. We suggested the Seiwald family use our<br />
new 'pergola stretch' model,” explains Jan<br />
Kattenbeck, sales manager of the markilux back<br />
office team and also of the “team : project”<br />
department. Because of its special drive<br />
technology, the system is particularly suitable for<br />
large outdoor areas in the hospitality sector.<br />
Size and look to match<br />
And that’s how the terrace of the Oberhabach<br />
holiday farm and hotel came to boast a 107<br />
square metre, 3-field unit with integrated LED<br />
lighting. “We fixed the system securely to the<br />
façade using the load-bearing wooden beams of<br />
the external balcony. It now provides solar<br />
protection for a good 50 seats,” Mr Kattenbeck<br />
explains. When the family was choosing the<br />
awning model, it was not only the size but also the<br />
appearance that played a decisive role. This was<br />
important because they wanted the modern<br />
character of the pergola system to harmonise<br />
with the traditional Tyrolean construction of the<br />
hotel and also fit in with the local rural scenery.<br />
For this reason, markilux suggested a brown frame<br />
to match the natural wooden elements of the<br />
building and a light-coloured waterproof awning<br />
cover that would provide protection against the<br />
rain. “The awning fits in perfectly and the customer<br />
is more than satisfied,” says a happy Jan<br />
Kattenbeck. In addition to the special product<br />
range for properties of this type, Mr Kattenbeck<br />
sees the in-depth consulting services provided by<br />
“team : project” as being one of the special<br />
qualities of markilux.<br />
