Blinds & Shutters - Issue 3/2023
Summer seems to have arrived and I imagine it’s peak season for companies that are involved in the awnings and solar shading markets. There seems to a lot of choices out there and it will be interesting to see how the home improvement market copes with the increasing of interest rates over the last few months. Lots of fixed mortgage rates are coming to an end, from historically low levels, so it way create another shock to consumers. So fingers crossed that it’s not as bad as some economists would have us believe and hopefully the rest of the summer will be long and hot!

AWNINGS<br />
Designer awnings for every taste<br />
Awnings from<br />
markilux offer a<br />
wide range in terms<br />
of shape, colour<br />
and function<br />
With its product portfolio, markilux<br />
offers top-quality design that is in<br />
demand all over the world. There are<br />
awnings to suit every architectural style and they<br />
have already won multiple design awards. Their<br />
powerful expressive presence is how the brand<br />
has made a name for itself over the years.<br />
Designer awnings from manufacturer markilux<br />
are intended to be perceived as an individual style<br />
element on the façade of a building, whether in an<br />
aesthetic, discreet or self-confident look. The<br />
shapes vary from angular to round, from<br />
streamlined to organically curved. The simple<br />
elegance of the design language has won many a<br />
prize over the years, such as the “iF Award”, the<br />
“Red Dot Design Award” and the “German<br />
Design Award”. The aim of these “Made in<br />
Germany” products has always been to suit both<br />
an urban lifestyle and a classic living style.<br />
Awnings with the personal<br />
touch<br />
“The timeless look of our awnings and the<br />
sheer variety on offer is designed to suit every<br />
form of architecture and every taste. This is<br />
possible, because the products can be customised<br />
by means of front styling panels featuring special<br />
colour effects, with metallic lacquers or by using<br />
different colour combinations with matching cover<br />
recommendations,” says Klaus Wuchner, Director<br />
of Sales and Marketing, adding that this underlines<br />
the modern design, giving the products a personal<br />
touch. The awning and the building thus have an<br />
attractive overall look.<br />
Light and design in harmony<br />
Mr Wuchner explains: “It is precisely this<br />
diversity in our product range that means our<br />
products are in such demand, not just at home<br />
but also abroad.” The awnings can also be given a<br />
particular emphasis with lighting systems in the<br />
form of LED Spots or LED Lines. They can be<br />
attached to different awning components and<br />
accentuate features of the façade and cover<br />
beautifully. The offer ranges from atmospherecreating<br />
ambient lighting and coloured lighting<br />
displays to separate wall lights in the same design<br />
as the awning or backlit styling panels. Together<br />
with the new fabric patterns in “collection one”,<br />
the result is an overall harmonious look combining<br />
form, colour, light and design which embellishes<br />
both house and patio.<br />
