Radiant Installs Premium Markilux 870 Tracfix External Roof Blind
Radiant Blinds has recently completed the installation of a state of the art Markilux 870 Tracfix external roof blind for a private homeowner in North London. Installed this week, the system provides exceptional solar protection, glare reduction and temperature control, transforming the client's outdoor living space into a comfortable area that can be enjoyed throughout the year. As specialists in premium external shading solutions, Radiant Blinds regularly installs Markilux systems across London and the South East, helping homeowners maximise the enjoyment of their gardens, terraces, glass rooms and outdoor entertaining areas.
What is the Markilux 870 Tracfix?
The Markilux 870 Tracfix is one of the most advanced external roof blind systems available on the market today. Designed specifically for glazed roofs, conservatories, pergolas and glass canopies, the system provides effective solar shading before heat has the opportunity to penetrate the glass. Unlike traditional blinds that sit beneath the glass, the Markilux 870 Tracfix operates externally, making it significantly more effective at controlling solar gain and reducing internal temperatures during warm weather. A key feature of the system is Markilux's innovative Tracfix technology. Rather than using visible guide rails with gaps at the sides, the fabric is permanently tensioned and guided within a concealed track system. This creates a sleek, elegant appearance whilst ensuring the fabric remains securely tensioned even in breezy conditions.
Benefits of the Markilux 870 Tracfix
Outstanding Heat Protection
One of the biggest advantages of the Markilux 870 Tracfix is its ability to stop heat before it reaches the glass. This can dramatically reduce temperatures beneath glazed roofs and pergolas during hot summer days, creating a far more comfortable environment.
Elegant Architectural Design
The slim cassette and concealed side guidance system create a clean, modern appearance that complements contemporary and traditional homes alike. When retracted, the fabric disappears neatly into the cassette housing, maintaining the aesthetics of the property.
Wind-Stable Fabric Guidance
The Tracfix system keeps the fabric securely guided without gaps along the sides, reducing movement and providing excellent stability compared with conventional roof blind systems.
Enhanced Outdoor Living
By creating shade over glass roofs and outdoor structures, homeowners can comfortably use their outdoor spaces for dining, entertaining and relaxing even during periods of intense sunshine.
Reduced Glare
The system significantly reduces glare from overhead sunlight, making spaces beneath glass roofs more enjoyable for reading, dining and socialising.
Energy Efficiency
By reducing solar heat gain, the Markilux 870 Tracfix can help minimise the need for cooling systems, contributing to improved energy efficiency within the home.
A Perfect Solution for Modern Homes
The North London installation demonstrates why the Markilux 870 Tracfix has become such a popular choice amongst homeowners looking to improve comfort and usability beneath glazed structures. Whether installed over a pergola, glass extension, roof lantern, conservatory or terrace canopy, the system delivers outstanding performance whilst maintaining the clean architectural lines of the property. Combined with Markilux's renowned German engineering, premium fabrics and precision manufacturing, the 870 Tracfix offers a long-lasting shading solution that enhances both the functionality and value of a home.
