Cassette Awnings
Full cassette awnings are the best choice if you need maximum protection for your awning, for example the Markilux 6000. With its three design variations Club, Studio and Lounge it is perfectly adapted to different properties, receiving the reddot award for outstanding design.
However other models of awning across the different ranges also leave nothing to be desired - compact, small and functional, the Markilux 970 impresses with its sleek and modern design. Despite this simplicity, it's still available with various features, including lighting which can illuminate your covered space late into the evening and night, helping customers to stay longer, and the Shadeplus, which is a vertical valance that increases the area of shade and protection provided.
Markilux are also pleased to present their own 'masterpiece', made from brushed, marine grade stainless steel is the Markilux ES-1. It impresses with its fine stainless steel material and elegant lines and contours, whilst looking absolutely stunning in its design and finish overall. Similarly, the Erhardt Q is inspired by the Bauhaus style of design, and is a high-end awning with excellent build quality and excellent features, including inbuilt lighting.
What is a Cassette Awning?
In a Full Cassette Awning, such as the Erhardt J, the cover and the complete arm mechanic are in a full encompassing enclosed aluminium cassette when fully retracted. Therefore wind, weather and dirt do not affect your Markilux awning and the fabric, especially useful during the winter months when not in use. It remains as attractive as on its very first day if handled and managed throughout inclement weather.
Cassette Awnings can be manually operated by using a detachable winding handle or electrically controlled by switch as a basic method or remote control and other devices for easier management. The use of a wind sensor is also recommended for larger awnings in exposed installations to provide safety if the wind speed ever gets too high. The awning will automatically retract if the wind sensor sends a signal and the speed of the wind to send the signal can be adjusted in situ as required.
