Installation instructions are available on request and detailed PDF guides are included with your product delivery.
The Markilux MX-3 is a substantial, heavy-duty full cassette awning. Due to its weight and bulk, safe installation requires a minimum of two (and often three) competent people to lift the cassette onto the wall brackets safely. Mechanical lifting aids are recommended for larger sizes. Do not attempt to lift or position this awning alone.
The MX-3 utilises an "End Fix" bracket system, where the mounting points are located at the extreme ends of the cassette. This concentrates the entire load of the awning at these two points, making the quality of the fixing critical.
While DIY installation is possible for experienced tradespeople, we strongly advise engaging a professional installer for the Markilux MX-3. The combination of weight, precise levelling requirements, and structural load factors means professional experience is invaluable for a safe, long-lasting fit.
We do not currently offer a nationwide installation service, though we are exploring this for the future.
Safety Note: If you have any doubts regarding the suitability of your wall or the installation process, please contact us or consult a structural engineer before proceeding.
Markilux awnings carry a comprehensive 2 year manufacturers warranty for use in domestic applications and a 5 year warranty on the electric motor drive unit. Exact details on the warranty details and conditions are available on request…
The Markilux MX-3 is a stunning, shapely full cassette awning that makes a bold design statement. However, it is also a substantial, heavy-duty system. Because it uses an "End Fix" mounting design (brackets located at the far ends of the cassette), accurate measuring and structural assessment are critical.
Unlike many awnings where brackets can slide along the back bar, the MX-3 brackets are positioned at the extreme outer edges of the cassette.
The MX-3 is available with projections up to 3000mm (or 3500mm in specific widths).
For proper operation and rain protection, correct mounting height is essential.
Because you cannot move the bracket positions, existing wall features can be a major issue if not spotted early.
Need Advice? If you are unsure about the strength of your wall or how to handle an obstacle, send us a photo and your dimensions. We can specify the correct bracket solution to ensure your MX-3 is safe, secure, and looks fantastic.
