The defining element of the markilux pergola cubic is its square-profile housing measuring 160 × 200 mm. Compared with the round housing of the classic, the cubic format creates an architecturally neutral silhouette that integrates naturally into buildings with a contemporary, minimalist or industrial language. The housing fully encloses and protects the fabric when retracted.
The tracfix technology ensures continuous lateral guidance of the fabric with no opening between the material and the guide rail at any extension position. The result: total lateral weather-tightness, uniform tensioning and maximum wind resistance throughout the full opening and closing travel.
A single bay of the cubic covers up to 30 m² with maximum dimensions of 500 × 600 cm. The structure accommodates up to 5 coupled bays, exceeding 15 metres of continuous length for terraces, corridors and large-scale communal spaces.
The cubic extends the lighting options beyond those of the classic: LED-Line or LED-Spots can be installed in the housing, in the guide rails and in the fabric support bar, creating complete perimeter lighting configurations for a personalised nocturnal atmosphere beneath the awning.

The Markilux Cubic textile pergola is the aesthetic evolution of the Markilux pergola awning range. Its two-part square cassette of 160 × 200 mm breaks away from the circular profile of the Classic and adopts a clean, rectilinear, contemporary formal language that suits modern architecture, exposed-concrete facades, structural glass and minimalist design spaces. This is not merely a visual difference: the square cassette of the Cubic allows it to be integrated more discreetly into cantilevered sections, beams and rectangular structural elements, reducing the visual impact of the installation. For high-end residential architecture projects and design-led hospitality, the Cubic is the usual choice when the pergola awning must go unnoticed as a technical element and stand out solely through the quality of the shade it creates.
Like the rest of the Markilux textile range, the Cubic incorporates tracfix as standard: the continuous lateral guide for the fabric that eliminates any gap between the cloth and the guide rail throughout the full opening travel. But the system goes beyond guidance: integrated transport tapes and pneumatic springs generate a counter-tension tensioning that keeps the fabric in its optimum position regardless of the extension point. This technology is why the Cubic withstands wind resistance class 3 — force 6, 38–48 km/h — even at 6 metres of projection and without the need for a second front support point. Architects specifying this product can verify the full technical data and download the BIM files in the Cortinsa BIM Library.
One of the advantages of the Markilux Pergola Cubic over the Classic is its greater lighting flexibility. Whilst the Classic allows LED in the guide rails and in the support tube, the Cubic adds the option of installing LED-Line or LED-Spots directly in the cassette, creating a perimeter lighting effect from the upper part of the structure. The combination of all three positions — cassette, guide rails and support tube — makes it possible to create fully customised lighting beneath the awning: overhead light from the cassette, lateral light from the guide rails and directional light from the support tube. For installations in hospitality and HORECA spaces, this lighting versatility transforms the pergola awning into a scenographic element for the nocturnal environment. Cortinsa installs and configures all Markilux lighting systems in Barcelona and Madrid.
The Cubic is compatible as standard with the vertical awnings Markilux 876 tracfix and 776 tracfix for lateral enclosure, and with the side awning Markilux 790 for the front. This combination turns the terrace into a space with total protection on all four sides, usable for many more months of the year. To complete the thermal conditioning, the optional 2500 W heaters — controllable via io radio frequency — allow a comfortable temperature to be maintained even in winter. Integration with the Markilux syncra system enables the automatic opening of the awning to be coordinated with sun and wind sensors, automating the management of the outdoor space. For hospitality and HORECA projects, Cortinsa offers comprehensive consultancy from design through to installation and maintenance.
