Markilux awnings from Oakhurst

Markilux awnings are world renowned as leaders in awning development and design. German engineering and technology mean you can rest assured that robust product design is complimented with contemporary, cutting edge design. The price of the Markilux awning includes features that are integral to the awning, such as wind and vibration sensors and not ‘add-ons’ that other awning suppliers will quote for. With a five year guarantee, you’ll also have peace of mind. We’ve done the research so you don’t have to. This is why we offer full cassette awnings that include the best selling MX-3 and for very large awnings the MX-1.

 

Markilux MX-3

Launched in 2019, the best-selling, Markilux MX-3 is a contemporary full cassette, end fix (2 brackets each end for a neater finish) awning. Choose between 7 frame options or add in a contrasting styling panel to the cassette barrel to compliment with your fabric choice.

Markilux MX-1 Compact

The Markilux MX-1 Compact is a modern full cassette design, with customisable front profile and optional integrated lighting. It is the smaller version of the Markilux MX-1, with a 40cm depth rather than 62cm.

Markilux 8800

Capable of covering areas up to 36m square, the award winning design, Markilux 8800 conservatory awning is ideal for fitting to the outer wall of glass conservatories where internal fixings are not possible.

Markilux Pergola and Synca

For extra stability, Pergola awnings are a better choice for areas that require a larger coverage (up to 5m x 6m or 6m x 4.5m) and provide stability for higher wind ratings. Markilux Syncra is the perfect stand-alone solution for large outdoor areas where shade is required and has no wall fixing.

Our pricing is transparent. Our online price calculator gives you  the cost of the awning exclusive of the fitting price or additional brackets (if required). As all of our products are made to measure, before we confirm our pricing we need to measure your outside space and complete a full survey to advise if you require additional bracketing for fixing the awning safely to the wall of your house. We can also talk you through any added accessories such as heating or additional lighting. We take a no-pressure sales approach and leave you to consider your options with a no obligation quotation.

If there is no brick wall available to fix the awning to, we would usually opt to install your awning on a free-standing frame instead, or if you require shading over you glass conservatory where internal blinds cannot be fitted you may want to consider the Markilux 8800.

Yes, it is possible to install an awning on a single storey building such as a bungalow or across a flat roof extension. Your awning will be installed using specialist spreader plates to fix it to the wall. Your installer will conduct a technical survey before installation, so they can talk you through how it works.
No, we can use specialist parts to fit around obstacles such as drain pipes or uneven walls.
The vibration sensors will detect when it becomes too windy and will automatically retract your awning. This keeps it safe from any damage caused by strong winds.
A sun sensor will detect when the sun is shining and will automatically open out your awning to provide shade. This is really helpful during the summer, and ensures you always have a cool spot to sit outside.
As our awnings are all motorised, they will need some drilling to ensure they have access to a power source. We use a 1.5m cable with Hershman plug (connector with a male and female connector) that fits either to an external waterproof junction box or our installer will drill a small hole through your wall so that the power lead can be popped inside and plugged into a 5 amp fused socket in your home. Our consultant can answer any specific questions about installation.
