The Markilux 710 and the Markilux 810 are the cable-guided vertical awnings in the Markilux range, designed for windows and facades where the visual presence of the sun-protection system needs to be kept to a minimum. Their Ø 3 mm stainless-steel cables with transparent coating are virtually invisible from the outside, unlike rail-guided systems. Up to 17.5 m² of surface area, a fully enclosed cassette, and the unique option of interior crank operation from inside the building. At Cortinsa we install both models in Barcelona and Madrid with manufacturer’s warranty and our own technical team.
Rail-guided systems such as the Markilux 620/625 offer greater wind resistance (class 3) and a tighter seal of the opening. Cable-guided systems such as the Markilux 710/810 offer a far lower visual presence on the exterior, making them particularly suited to windows on historic or design-led facades where side rails would be visually disruptive. The choice depends on whether aesthetics or wind resistance takes priority.
The interior crank operation option with wall pass-through on the Markilux 710/810 has no equivalent in the Markilux vertical awning range. It allows the awning to be operated from inside the building without opening the window, which is especially valuable in summer in warm climates where opening the window to operate the exterior awning would compromise thermal insulation. It is also the ideal solution on upper floors where accessing the awning from outside would require a ladder.
At Cortinsa we install the Markilux 710 and the Markilux 810 in Barcelona, Madrid, and the surrounding metropolitan area, including a technical survey visit, made-to-measure manufacturing, and installation by our own team.

The main difference is the cassette profile. The Markilux 710 has a square cassette of 95 × 95 mm and the Markilux 810 has a round teardrop cassette of Ø 115 mm. Both share the same maximum dimensions, the same cable guide system and the same actuation options.
The Markilux 620/625 uses guide rails with a tracfix system — greater wind resistance (class 3) and a tighter seal. The Markilux 710/810 uses virtually invisible stainless steel cables — minimal visual presence, wind resistance class 2, with the option of an interior crank handle.
Yes. The Markilux 710/810 has an option for an interior operating crank with wall pass-through, which allows the awning to be raised and lowered from inside without opening the window. This option is particularly valued on upper floors and in warm climates.
Maximum span of 500 cm, maximum projection of 350 cm and maximum surface area of 17.5 m² per bay. The minimum span is 74 cm.
The Markilux 710/810 has wind resistance class 2, equivalent to Beaufort 5 — 28–37 km/h. For installations in highly wind-exposed environments, models with tracfix guide rails such as the 620/625 or the 776/876 offer class 3.
