Cassette awning MX-3 shows
a special curved design
Nature shows the way: Ever since
it has been picking the best ideas
from its vast pool of shapes and
creates something new. True to
this principle, awning specialist
markilux designed its model MX-3.
The slim cassette awning shows
how components can merge in a
playful way.
The cassette awning MX-3 by
markilux received a special curved-
linear shape. To make this an
even greater eye-catcher, it also
got a colourful front profile. You
can choose from several accent
colours and match them to the
pattern of the awning cover and
the frame. With a height of just
twelve centimetres it provides
shade not only for patios but
also for balconies. Accentuated
LED-light illuminates the cassette
in the evening. To operate the
awning, you can choose from
manual or radio-controlled motor
operation. The integration in a
home automation system is also
possible.

Investigative work for a single storey
workshop extension showed that load
bearing depth and soil composition
varied across the whole area of the
proposed site.
These observations and the need for
economical and reliable foundations
to be installed quickly, whilst causing
minimal disruption, resulted in the
specification of Helifix Micro-piles as
the solution. Not only would the Micro-
piles provide rapid, cost-effective
structural support for the new
building, they would cause much less
disruption compared to traditional
high volume concrete pours.
The installation was so rapid that
the foundations were installed in
just one day, with no spoil removal,
vibrations or major interuptions to
the existing commercial property.
Each of the six Micro-piles required
were simply ‘screwed’ vertically
into the ground, at the appropriate
locations, using a hydraulic drive
head.
