Architectural integration and technical comfort in a single awning

Contemporary architecture demands that every element of a façade responds to a precise design criterion. The Markilux 970 cassette awning is born precisely from this requirement: a square cassette with straight lines that integrates into the façade as though it had always been there, without the rounded profile of conventional models. Its patented fixing system allows it to be mounted directly into façade openings and recesses, achieving an architectural integration that other solar-protection systems cannot offer. Cortinsa, as an official Markilux installer in Barcelona, carries out measurement, installation design, and certified fitting adapted to each façade type.
One of the technical differentiators of the 970 compared with other cassette awnings for terraces is the LED-Line integrated into the cassette itself, which allows the terrace to be lit with warm white light or any RGB colour once the sun goes down. This feature transforms the awning into an active night-time comfort element, particularly valued in hospitality projects, residential rooftop terraces, and representative spaces. The Markilux 970 super-shadow system adds an independent vertical awning at the front profile, which descends up to 170 cm to protect against glare at sunrise and sunset and increase privacy without the need to install an additional side awning.
With a width of up to 600 cm and a projection of up to 350 cm, the Markilux 970 is the solution for solar protection on large-surface terraces, both in detached homes and penthouses and in contract projects for hospitality and office buildings. Its folding arm with bionic tendon guarantees silent opening and closing and perfect fabric tension across the entire surface. To view completed projects using this model, visit our awnings in Barcelona section, where you will find real installations with technical data for each project.
The Markilux 970 front fascia is available in 8 colours that can be freely combined with the 7 hardware colours and more than 200 fabric designs from the Collection One. This level of personalisation makes it the most sought-after bicolour Markilux cassette awning among architecture studios for high-end residential projects. For those who need to cover larger surfaces, Cortinsa also installs bioclimatic pergolas with adjustable louvres, and for projects requiring technical solar-protection specification, the technical team prepares the necessary documentation for the construction project.
