Features of the Markilux Classic Textile Pergola

Two-piece round cassette Ø 187 mm

The largest-diameter circular cassette profile in the textile range fully protects the fabric when retracted. Its two-piece design allows easy access for maintenance without the need to dismantle the structure.

tracfix as standard — continuous guide without gap

The tracfix system ensures that the fabric is guided continuously along both lateral tracks with no opening between the fabric and the guide profile. Result: total lateral weatherproofing and uniform tensioning at any projection position.

Up to 30 m² per bay · 5 bays can be coupled

A single individual awning covers up to 30 m² with maximum dimensions of 500 × 600 cm. The structure accommodates up to 5 coupled bays, exceeding 1,500 cm of continuous length for large-scale terraces and communal areas.

Wind resistance class 3

Certified to withstand Beaufort scale wind force 6 (38–48 km/h). The optional folding columns reduce the minimum drainage inclination to 7°, enabling near-horizontal installations with perfect water run-off.

The most versatile Markilux textile pergola for terraces and outdoor spaces

Markilux classic textile pergola details

Markilux Classic Textile Pergola: the permanent shade solution for large terraces

The Markilux Classic textile pergola is Markilux’s reference system for covering large outdoor surfaces with a retractable, robust and fully waterproof shade solution. Unlike bioclimatic pergolas with fixed louvres, the Classic combines the complete opening and closing flexibility of a textile fabric with the structural solidity of a system featuring guide rails and aluminium columns. The result is a pergola awning that can adapt to any weather condition: open to capture light, closed to protect against direct sun, and with rainwater drainage capacity thanks to the folding columns system, which reduces the minimum pitch to 7°.

Round cassette Ø 187 mm: the greatest fabric protection in the textile range

The most visible and characteristic element of the Markilux Pergola Classic is its two-piece cassette with a circular profile and a diameter of 187 mm. This cassette fully houses and protects the fabric when the awning is retracted, preventing exposure to UV radiation, dirt and rain. In practical terms, a fabric well protected within the cassette can double its service life compared to an exposed fabric. The Classic’s cassette is clearly distinguishable from the Cubic model — which uses a square cassette of 160×200 mm — both visually and in terms of protection performance. If your space has a residential architectural character with curved or classical lines, the Classic’s round profile is the most aesthetically coherent option.

tracfix: the continuous guide technology that defines Markilux quality

All models in the Markilux textile range include the tracfix system as standard — Markilux’s patented continuous lateral guide technology for the fabric. Unlike conventional systems, tracfix eliminates any gap or opening between the fabric and the guide rail at any extension position. This has direct consequences: the fabric cannot flutter in the wind, the guide rails do not lose tension, and lateral weatherproofing is maintained even with the awning partially extended. The Classic’s wind resistance class 3 — equivalent to force 6 on the Beaufort scale, between 38 and 48 km/h — relies directly on this technology. Cortinsa, as an official Markilux installer in Barcelona, includes tracfix system calibration as part of the installation process and periodic technical inspection.

Dimensions and coupling capacity for large-scale projects

The Pergola Classic covers surfaces of up to 30 m² with a single bay, with maximum dimensions of 500 × 600 cm. When the space requires it, the structure accommodates up to 5 coupled bays, allowing continuous lengths of over 15 metres without structural interruptions. This feature makes it a top-tier solution for hospitality and HORECA spaces, restaurant terraces, hotel common areas or pools with extensive walkways. In luxury architecture and construction projects, the Classic can be integrated with the Markilux 876 tracfix and 776 tracfix vertical awnings to create fully enclosed and climate-controlled outdoor spaces. Architects and design studios can access BIM files and technical specifications in the Cortinsa BIM Library.

Customisation options: lighting, heating and home automation

The Classic textile pergola supports a comprehensive optional equipment system designed for both residential comfort and professional installations. For lighting, options include LED-Line on both guide rails to illuminate the lower perimeter of the structure, and LED-Line or LED-Spots on the fabric support tube to create evening ambiences directly beneath the awning. For installations in cold regions or with extended seasons, 2,500 W heaters with 868 MHz io radio frequency control can be integrated, making the space habitable for more months of the year. Control of the entire system — awning, lighting and heating — can be integrated into home automation systems compatible with Somfy’s io-homecontrol and RTS protocols. In Markilux cassette and semi-cassette awnings, these same protocols enable automatic opening to be coordinated with sun and wind sensors. The optional super-shade, at 230 cm in height, adds vertical solar and privacy protection integrated into the front profile, with autonomous solar actuation via the sundrive module. For installations in Barcelona and Madrid, Cortinsa offers comprehensive advice on the most suitable configuration according to the orientation of the space and the wind conditions of each location.

Frequently asked questions about the Markilux Classic Textile Pergola

What is the difference between the Markilux pergola classic and the cubic?

The main difference lies in the cassette profile: the classic has a two-piece round cassette of Ø 187 mm, whilst the cubic has a square cassette of 160 × 200 mm. Visually, the classic offers a more rounded, architecturally traditional finish; the cubic presents more rectilinear, contemporary lines. In terms of dimensions and wind resistance, both share the same maximum capacity (up to 600 × 600 cm with 5 coupled bays and wind class 3), although the classic allows a slightly smaller minimum projection (67 cm versus 73 cm for the cubic). Both incorporate tracfix as standard.

Yes, with the correct installation conditions. The pearl and pearl FR canvases are waterproof as standard and are specifically designed for use in rain. With tilting columns, the minimum drainage slope is reduced to 7°, ensuring water runs off freely even in near-horizontal configurations. With fixed columns, the minimum slope is 14°. The canvas should not be used as a permanent structure under snow, although the slope and fabric can handle moderate rainfall. Cortinsa verifies the installation pitch during fitting to ensure correct drainage.

The classic’s housing can be fixed directly to the wall, ceiling or rafters using Markilux-specific brackets, with no need for front columns. However, for projections exceeding 250 cm or systems with a super-shade, it is advisable to incorporate front columns to ensure stability and uniform fabric tension. In all cases, the modular design allows the solution to be adapted to the typology of each space.

The standard motor is included as standard. As an option, the silentec motor (maximum acoustic reduction), the 868 MHz io-homecontrol motor (integration with Somfy home automation and intelligent control systems) and the 433 MHz RTS motor can be specified. The optional super-shade is operated by manual crank or with a 433 MHz RTS motor with an autonomous sundrive solar module, with no electrical connection required to the super-shade module.

Yes. The markilux pergola classic is compatible as standard with the markilux 876 tracfix and markilux 776 tracfix vertical awnings on the sides, and with the markilux 790 side awning at the front. This combination makes it possible to create an outdoor space enclosed on three or four sides, with full control over light entry and lateral wind. It is a common configuration in HORECA projects and high-end residential terraces. It is also compatible with the markilux syncra system and markilux construct supports.

Cortinsa provides Revit (.rfa) and IFC files for the Markilux textile pergola range for BIM specification. They are available free of charge upon professional registration in the Cortinsa BIM Library. In addition, technical data sheets including shade coefficient (g-factor), wind resistance class, and equipment options are available to download from the same portal.
