Vertical sun protection for house and winter garden
Vertical awnings are primarily used to protect interiors from heating up due to solar radiation. In summer, it is advisable to use a sunshade before the sun's rays can enter the building through the glass front. This is the only way to counteract heat build-up. Often, the use of vertical awnings can eliminate the need for additional air conditioning.
Due to the large glass surfaces, high temperatures develop quickly in winter gardens. This is because rooms that are enclosed by a large area of glass can, as is well known, heat up considerably due to the warmth of the sunlight. With markilux vertical awnings, the heat input can be significantly reduced. In addition, vertical awnings can be used as a design element and thus visually enhance the building.

Vertical awnings for glass surfaces, terraces and balconies
The variety of possible applications for markilux vertical awnings is large: classically attached to the window or as sun protection for glass surfaces on conservatories or patio roofs. For all-round protection on the terrace or free-standing in the garden, the external blinds can be combined with markilux pergola awnings or markilux markant. Vertical awnings are even used on balconies.
In addition to the main function of protection from the sun, vertical awnings also perform functions such as wind and privacy. Choose transparent fabrics that allow you to see outside even when the awning is down. The sun and unwanted glances are still kept out.

Special features of markilux vertical awnings
Vertical awnings from markilux bring with them various advantages. Equipped with round or angular full cassette, the sun protection on the one hand fits perfectly into the appearance of the facade. On the other hand, the awning cover and technology are protected from external influences by the cassette, so that you will enjoy your external blind awning for a long time.
If you choose the markilux tracfix option, your vertical awning will be more wind-stable. The awning cover is guided laterally without a gap between the fabric cover and the guide track. This makes the awning visually closed and gives it a higher degree of stability. You can also achieve a beautiful appearance by choosing the awning cover. Color, pattern and structure contribute to the vertical awning becoming a design element on the house.
If you want a sunshade that does not block the view outside, there are various options for equipping your awning. Transparent fabrics or panoramic windows are suitable for various purposes.
