This private client of ours had a motorised Markilux 5010 awning fitted this week to her beautiful home in Richmond which has a Somfy motor and remote control. This type of awning has an oval full cassette design which is perfect for protecting the fabric and mechanisms in adverse weather conditions. You can have a maximum of 7 metres in width or even wider when multiple units are coupled with this awning and with the different upper and lower arm lengths means it provides great stability. The arms also provide brilliant tautness to the cover, even when the awning is fully extended. All the screws and basic components are made of corrosion resistant stainless steel.
