Markilux 730/830 Drop-Arm Awning

The markilux 730/830 is a stylish external drop-arm awning designed to provide effective shading for windows, balconies and glazed areas while still allowing natural light and outward views. Unlike a vertical blind that drops straight down, the fabric projects outwards from the window using drop arms, creating shade at an angle while helping to keep the room bright and airy.

This makes it especially useful for windows where direct sun, glare and heat build-up are a problem, but where you do not want to completely block the view. The awning can help reduce solar heat before it reaches the glass, making internal spaces more comfortable during warmer months.

The current markilux 730 features a neat cassette and drop arms with gas pressure springs, which tension the fabric cover at an angle of up to 140 degrees from the window. When retracted, the front profile closes neatly beneath the cassette, helping to keep the system compact and discreet.

The 730/830 can be a good choice for homes, apartments, offices and commercial properties where external solar protection is needed without the enclosed feeling of a fully vertical screen. Depending on the installation, telescopic standpipes may also be available for balcony applications.

With a choice of markilux fabric designs, frame colours and operating options, this drop-arm awning can be tailored to suit both the building and the level of shade required.

Please note: the current markilux UK range appears to feature the 730 model. Availability and specification of the 830 may vary, so please contact Access Awnings for current options and suitable alternatives.
