A markisolette combines vertical fabric guidance with a projecting lower section and is part of the WAREMA range of window awnings. The upper part of the fabric runs close to the façade, while projection arms move the lower part outwards. Daylight, outward view, glare control and solar shading depend on the projection angle, fabric and window geometry.
WAREMA markisolettes are exterior fabric shading systems for windows. The fabric travels vertically over the upper section and projects outwards at the lower section. This geometry can retain a more open outward view than fully vertical shading, depending on the projection angle, fabric openness and installation.

A markisolette shades the upper part of the window close to the glazing and projects the lower fabric section away from the façade. This can reduce incident sunlight and glare while retaining daylight and an outward view. The actual effect depends on fabric openness, colour, projection angle, dimensions, glazing and orientation.
- Exterior solar shading: positioned outside the glazing
- Glare control: upper window area remains shaded
- Outward view: lower projected section can retain a view outside
- Daytime privacy: varies with fabric, lighting and viewing angle
- Façade design: projection creates a defined geometric profile
- Product options: available in selected WAREMA window awning systems
A markisolette can be considered where exterior solar shading, glare control, daylight and outward view need to be balanced. Suitability depends on the window, façade, orientation and selected product:
- Living areas where an outward view is important
- Workspaces requiring daylight and controlled glare
- Windows where a projected lower fabric section suits the façade design
No. A markisolette is designed for exterior solar shading and glare control. The level of light reduction depends on the fabric, colour, openness, projection angle and installation. It should not be described as a blackout system unless the selected configuration is specified for that purpose.
Compatible products may be planned as grouped units, including units with different heights. Dimensions, box arrangement, guidance, drives, controls and façade joints must be coordinated for the specific project.
Wind limits depend on the product, dimensions, guidance, projection, fabric, fixing and distance from the glazing. The current product information lists 10, 7 or 5 m/s for specified configurations and wind resistance class 2 for a rail-guided markisolette with a drop arm. Product-specific technical documentation and operating instructions take precedence.
Available window awning accessories include motors, radio controls, solar drives, sensors and product-specific components such as WAREMA SecuKit or VisioNeo fall protection. Compatibility, dimensions, installation and intended use must be checked for each configuration.
A drop arm awning projects the lower edge of the fabric away from the façade while the upper section remains close to the window. This can provide shade while retaining daylight and a partial outward view. Projection angle, dimensions and operation depend on the selected product.
View product examples at a Sunlight Experience Centres or contact a WAREMA specialist retailer. The retailer can assess the window dimensions, façade construction, fixing points, fabric, guide system, controls and installation requirements before preparing a quotation.
Since 1955, WAREMA has stood for made-to-measure sun shading tailored to individual customer requirements for comfort and design. The systems allow daylight, privacy and solar shading to be adjusted as needed and can reduce heat entering living spaces. The family-owned company combines high quality standards with intelligent technologies. Its range includes external venetian blinds, roller shutters, awnings, shade sails, patio roofs, insect screens and smart control systems. Qualified local specialist partners support customers from personal advice and installation through to comprehensive after-sales services.
