Book Your Showroom Appointment
Visit the Aquarius Blinds showroom in Crawley, Sussex, and explore one of the South East’s leading spaces for Markilux awnings and outdoor shading systems.
There’s a reason our customers decide with confidence once they’ve visited: you can see working awnings in motion, feel the fabrics, compare frame finishes in real daylight and talk through your project with our team who’ll guide you through the process. It’s the easiest way to get a big outdoor project right first time.
Appointments are private, relaxed and completely no-obligation.
Please note our showroom is open only for pre-booked appointments. Our showroom is not suitable for walk-ins, as we may be out on-site.

Why Visit the Crawley Awning Showroom?
Outdoor shading is a big decision, and something you’ll live with for years. Photos can only tell you so much. In the showroom, you get to experience the products the way you’ll actually use them.
As a family-run business, we look after every appointment personally. You’ll spend your time with an experienced team who understand the products, the installation process and the practical considerations of your project.
You’ll get honest guidance, straight answers on what will and won’t work for your space, and the time to make the right choice. No pressure, no obligation, and a proper coffee while you browse.
On your visit you can:
- Watch working, motorised awnings open and close at the touch of a button
- Feel the fabric quality and see true colours in natural daylight
- Compare frame finishes, including Tiger Black
- See integrated LED lighting and heating switched on and working
- Talk through custom fixings and tricky installations with the team
- Understand exactly what’s possible for your home, garden or commercial space
Genuine Reviews for our Expert Team & Shading Solutions
See the Markilux Range in Action
We have extensive experience supplying and installing Markilux shading systems, and Markilux has invested in our Crawley showroom. It means you can experience the German-engineered range the way it’s meant to be seen: working, lit and up close.
What you can see and do:
- Operate a working awning: See a full cassette awning extend and retract at the touch of a button, and hear just how quiet the motor really is.
- Handle the fabric library: Explore a wide range of fabric choices: feel the weight, check the weave and see true colours in daylight rather than on a screen.
- Compare frame finishes: including Tiger Black, a striking premium finish currently available as a free upgrade (usually around £500).
- See the upgrades lit up: integrated LED lighting, infrared heating and smart/app control, all switched on so you can judge the atmosphere and usability for evenings and shoulder seasons.
Whether you’re weighing up a compact patio awning or a large terrace system, seeing the real thing makes the decision simple.

We’re expanding our showroom with new outdoor-living displays, including louvred pergolas, glass verandas and garden pods. Soon you’ll be able to stand under them and see how they’d work in a real garden setting, in real daylight.
It’s worth it for a simple reason: a good pergola isn’t just summer shade. With the right system (adjustable louvres, glass roofs, integrated heating and lighting) you can use your outdoor space across far more of the year.
Planning a pergola or garden pod? Book an appointment now to talk through your project.
