lighting and heating optionsExtendable valance
Simply block out the glare from a low-lying sun and the glances of inquisitive neighbours and capture the warmth of the day in the evening. The additional awning cover is lowered vertically downwards from the front profile to create a wonderfully private room outdoors.
Your advantages
Blinding sun rays or prying eyes can simply be blocked out with the extendable valance: This additional fabric panel is lowered from the front profile and creates additional protection from prying eyes and the sun that converts your outdoor area into an airy private niche.
The position of the sun does not only depend on the time of the day, but also from the location, alignment and season. A extendable valance always guarantees perfect protection - available on the Formosa Max awning
Motor operation and remote controls

light and wind sensor
The intelligent weather control system.
Thanks to the light and wind sensor you can just lean back and watch how your awning reacts: If the weather changes, the automatic sensor triggers the right reaction. Your awning will extend automatically as soon as the sun appears or retract into its cassette - of its own accord - if the wind picks up significantly.
Light and wind sensors are particularly practical, if you wish to protect indoor furnishings from fading or to prevent the interior of the house heating up excessively. This comfort is particularly recommended for living and sleeping spaces - turn your markilux into your "weather butler"!

Soliris sunlight sensors
Soliris Sensor
Depending on the current weather situation, this intelligent control system will extend and retract your awning automatically.
The Soliris Sensor RTS transmits the signals by radio wave. This does away with all the wiring to the central control unit and the motor drive. The sun sensor can be manually activated or deactivated by means of a remote control.
Vibration wind sensor
Intelligent, sensitive and independent of the mains
The vibration wind sensor is an inertia sensor and depending on wind load an awning driven by radio-controlled motor will be retracted automatically to protect it.
Your advantages
The Eolis 3D WireFree io vibration wind sensor reacts to vibrations. It can be fixed to the inside or outside of the front profile (depending on the awning model) without requiring a power supply cable. The wind threshold value can be set individually at the sensor. Battery powered so no power supply or cabling required.
