Weather protection - whatever the situation

Pergola awnings from markilux offer incredible diversity of design

Outdoor dining areas are an important source of revenue in the hospitality business - providing the atmosphere they offer guests is inviting. In addition to the location and the interior, the decisive factor here is whether the restaurant has attractive protection against the sun and inclement weather. Pergola systems in particular are ideal for this. In this respect, awning manufacturer markilux offers an extremely large and versatile range of products.

Many guests expect the outdoor eating areas provided by cafés and restaurants to offer a similar level of comfort to their interiors. They are looking for an appealing atmosphere, protected from the sun, wind and rain. The more cosy an outdoor eating terrace is, the more likely it is that visitors will stay longer. The diverse pergola range from markilux, for example, makes it possible to design any outdoor guest area attractively.

Variable floor plans
Size does not seem to matter. "We have lots of different models on offer that can cater for any shape of area from small to XXL. In addition, pergola awnings can also be combined with a considerable number of our other products. This gives us the flexibility to take a made-to-measure approach with regard to any floor plan," explains Jan Kattenbeck, head of "team: project". This is the markilux team specifically responsible for project business. Mr Kattenbeck explains that it is important to plan lighting and infrared heating from the very beginning. This also applies to additional roller blinds which can be lowered to provide protection against wind or light rain. This means the restaurant terrace can be used longer during the day and also over the whole year.

Lots of space under the awning
The pergola awnings from markilux are also flexible in terms of installation. You can either anchor them to the ground or secure them with ballast boxes. The boxes can be used as additional seating but also as flower beds. "Another advantage of our pergola systems is that in comparison with parasols they save a lot of space because the awnings are mounted against a wall and supported by two front posts. As a result, the free space under the awning cover can be utilised to the full," stresses Jan Kattenbeck.

Reliable service
The broad variety of models in terms of their shape and colour means that the weather protection system can be selected to match the building or terrace, depending on its architecture. The "colour on demand" service allows any colour you desire to be chosen for the awning cover and your own logo or the name of the location can also be added. The company is receiving more and more enquiries from all over Germany and abroad for customised concepts to cover outdoor dining areas with pergola awnings. Jan Kattenbeck explains: "With 'team: project', we assist our customers in taking the first measurements through the various planning stages and clear visual representations together with a specialist partner on site until the desired system is fully operational." In addition to a wide variety of awning models and additional features, we also offer a honed service that can always be relied upon.
