Using awning technology and drawing on Markilux Australia’s style, award-winning German awning manufacturers, Markilux Australia , have launched three new high-performance fabrics that will improve sun-shading protection in Australia.

Signature Sunsilk SNC, Sunsilk Perla FR and Transilk FR have been released in Europe and are the result of more than 30 years experience in designing and engineering solutions for outdoor living. With features including self-cleaning, all-weather and fire-retardant properties, the three new lines provide customers with a choice for commercial applications that demand outdoor performance.

From creating all-weather protective areas for child-care centres and schools, to servicing the needs of customers in clubs and outdoor restaurants, the new collection of Markilux fabrics offer the solution. Now in Australia, these fabrics are also available in a diverse range of colours and prints that complement the Markilux range of folding-arm, conservatory and window awnings.
