A markisolette is a window awning with a projection function. The fabric runs vertically in front of the window at the top. At the bottom, it is extended. The result is a sun shading system with sight to the outside.

Markisolettes combine effective sun shading with a view to the outside. The fabric runs vertically at the top in front of the window and is extended at the bottom. This reduces heat and glare without significantly darkening the room.

A markisolette combines sun shading with a view outside because the fabric runs vertically at the top and can be extended at the bottom.

  • Effective heat protection: The sun shading system is located outside the glass and reduces heat input.
  • Good glare control in daylight: The window remains shielded in the upper area.
  • View outside remains possible: The drop area supports a view outside without losing sun shading.
  • More privacy during the day: Insights are reduced without significantly darkening the room.
  • Visual facade structure: The drop area sets a clear line and can aesthetically support the facade.
  • Wide range of applications: Markisolettes can be implemented in various WAREMA window awnings

The term markisolette is derived from the German word for "awning". "Awning" comes from the French (marquise) and was originally used to refer to an additional tent roof before the current meaning as a sunroof became established. In practice, Markisolette refers to a special type of awning that combines vertical and projection functions: The fabric first runs vertically downwards and is then extended at the bottom.

For rooms where you need glare control and heat protection but daylight and visual contact with the outside remain important:

  • Living rooms with a desire for views outside despite sun shading
  • Office and kitchen with a need for daylight and a desire for glare control
  • Window areas with a quality stay where a "view edge" to the outside is important

No. It is designed for sun shading, glare control, and visual comfort.

In principle, this is possible with group units - even at different heights.

The wind limits depend, among other things, on the distance to the glass surface. In practice, safe raising and lowering speeds of 10/7/5 m/s apply, depending on the distance. Wind resistance class 2 applies to a markisolette with rail guidance/drop arm.
