Markilux 6000 Awnings in Seaford
The client required a stylish outdoor living area suitable for both sun and rain protection, while also serving as an evening entertaining space.
Markilux MX3 Awning Installation Textured Tiger Black, Wimbledon SW19
The client required a versatile patio area for day and night use to complement their house renovation.
Markilux 620 Awning Installation in Haslemere
The client required effective light reduction for two upstairs bedrooms. With inward-opening doors and limited space, external window roller blinds provided the ideal solution.
Pergola awning Installation in Reading
Our brief was very simple and to the point – Our customer required an awning to run the full 8.5 meters across the back of the house and cover the terrace area to provide shade and rain protection from above as well as low sun in the evening that shone directly into the lounge.
2 Markilux 990 Awnings with Crank Gear Operation in Surrey, KT4
Our client in Worcester Park wanted a very simple cost-effective solution to the ground floor single story extension.
Pergola Installation in Purley, Surrey
Our client, Mr W, contacted Aquarius Blinds looking for coverage for the terrace area at his house in Purley, Surrey.
The project brief only really detailed the problem the client had. In addition to this, the fitting area was a single-story part of the house and a single awning (without special spreader support plates) would have also caused a structural problem. The area was approximately 8 meters by 5 meters with York flagstone paving.
Markilux 770 Tracfix Awning, Anthracite Grey in Wimbledon, London SW19
Our client wanted to create a comfort zone and a peaceful area out of the elements of the sun and rain. The brief with this project was very simple, manufactured within a few weeks and fitted in 2 ½ hours, creating an area to enjoy time in the garden.
