Free-standing awnings are popular

The "pergola stretch" model from markilux is in tune with the times

The "pergola stretch" from markilux has been on the market for a year now and has already exceeded the sales figures expected by the company. According to the manufacturer, the design award-winning awning model is extremely popular with both private and commercial end consumers, such as those in the hospitality industry.

Awnings have grown in size in recent years as nowadays, patios are often used as spacious outdoor oases. They therefore need a product that provides generous shade to protect against the effects of sun, wind and rain. Systems that can be attached to the building as well as free-standing ones are in demand among end users.

Successful market entry
The "pergola stretch" from markilux also falls into this product category. The model, which has won two design awards, can cover areas of up to 175 square metres with its special toothed gear drive that guides the awning cover along lateral guide tracks like a roof festoon. The product was an eye-catcher as soon as it was launched thanks to its homely textile character and XXL dimensions. This is where, according to Klaus Wuchner, Director of Sales and Marketing, markilux clearly stands out from the competition.

In great demand in its first year
Mr Wuchner is also more than satisfied with the sales figures of the "pergola stretch" over the past year: "We are seeing a great demand for pergola awnings because, as well as acting as sun protection, they also provide excellent protection against wind and wet weather," he explains. Its size and the various lighting and heating options bring the stretch version completely in tune with the times. Demand is high from both private customers and commercial end users, especially from the hospitality sector. This was demonstrated by the numerous customer contacts in the company's showrooms, as well as by the large number of pergola configurations on the Internet and via the markilux Augmented Reality App. The product quickly won over the specialist dealers, too, with its installation-friendly technology.

Product range shows great variety
Thus, the stretch version has once again added a sought-after product to the manufacturer's pergola family. "We are offering a lot of visual variety within this group of products. The awnings are suitable for outdoor areas ranging in size from small to very large. They can also be transformed into a cosy outdoor space on the terrace with a wide range of accessories," says Klaus Wuchner. And to round off the portfolio even more, markilux is launching another model variant of the "pergola" this year.
