Markilux 790, the reference retractable side awning for terraces and balconies
The Markilux 790 is Markilux’s full-cassette retractable side awning, designed to block low sun, lateral wind, and unwanted views on terraces, balconies, and open spaces. With heights up to 250 cm and a projection of up to 450 cm, and the widest range of fixing options in the catalogue, it is the most versatile solution for any type of side installation. At Cortinsa we install the Markilux 790 in Barcelona and Madrid with manufacturer’s warranty and our own technical team.
Retractable side awning, the solution for lateral sun and wind
The Markilux 790 operates in a vertical position, perpendicular to the ground, blocking sun that strikes from the side and lateral wind that renders a terrace unusable even in hot, sunny conditions. Unlike articulated-arm awnings that cast shade downwards, the 790’s side awning creates a retractable screen that unfurls from the aluminium cassette down to the ground or the balustrade, enclosing the space in a controlled manner.
Balustrade fixing, the no-building-work solution
One of the most sought-after options of the Markilux 790 is the fixing of the front bar to the balustrade, which allows the side awning to be installed without any structural work to the floor. This is particularly suitable for balconies where the residents’ association restricts interventions to the paving, or for terraces with raised flooring where posts cannot be anchored. The mobilfix support with granite base plate is another alternative for spaces where structural fixing is not possible.
Perfect combination with Markilux arm awnings
The diagonal-cut option of the Markilux 790 allows the side awning to be combined with any Markilux articulated-arm awning model or with Markilux pergolas, creating complete protection both horizontally and vertically. The 790’s fabric is cut diagonally to follow exactly the profile of the arm awning when extended, with no overlaps or gaps.
