German shading solutions manufacturer Markilux has launched the Pergola Cubic range of awnings, which is specifically designed for cubic architecture.

The cubic form is a familiar sight on city office-scapes, as seen most recently in Renzo Piano Building Workshop's Paddington Square project in London.

Some of today's architect-designed homes and modular, customisable self-build designs also harness the simplicity of the cube form. 

Pergola Cubic meets a growing demand from homeowners for awnings that tie in with their modern minimalist architecture.

All Markilux's Pergola awnings are supported by two front posts and are available in four versions: Classic, Compact, XXL and now Pergola Cubic, which is based on the technology of the Classic model but with a modified angular cassette that holds and stores the cover.

6 reasons to specify Markilux Pergola Cubic awnings

  • With a width and projection of up to six metres, one Pergola Cubic awning can shade more than 30 square metres.
  • Up to five units can be combined to cover even larger areas.
  • The awnings feature the Tracfix system, which guides the cover flush along the side rails.
  • A tensioning system with integrated gas pistons maintains optimum cover tension when the awning is in any extended position, keeping it stable in the wind.
  • For a variety of lighting effects, LED systems can be integrated in the guide tracks, on the cover support tube or under the cassette.
  • Other customisable options include adjustable posts for better water drainage with only a slight tilt of the cover surface; the choice of a manually or solar-powered Shadeplus awning; and a ground fixing or stabilisation box option for securing the awning.
