Radiant Blinds & Awnings recently completed another high quality residential shading installation, this time at a private client’s home in London SE15, where our experienced installation team fitted a motorised Markilux 870 Tracfix roof blind. Designed to provide effective solar shading while creating a smart, contemporary finish, the Markilux 870 Tracfix is an excellent solution for homeowners looking to control heat, glare and strong sunlight over glazed areas and outdoor living spaces.
Motorised Markilux 870 Tracfix Roof Blind
For this London SE15 installation, our client selected the Markilux 870 Tracfix, a sophisticated tensioned blind system designed to keep the fabric securely guided within the side channels. The Tracfix system helps maintain excellent fabric tension and eliminates the need for a visible gap between the blind cover and guide tracks. The result is a beautifully neat and streamlined appearance that works particularly well with modern properties, glazed roofs, pergolas and contemporary outdoor living areas. The roof blind was powered by a Somfy motor, giving our client effortless control at the touch of a button. A Somfy remote control handset was also supplied, allowing the blind to be conveniently extended or retracted whenever required.
Added Protection with a Somfy Wind Sensor
To complement the motorised operation, Radiant also installed a Somfy wind sensor. The addition of automated weather protection provides extra reassurance for the homeowner. When wind conditions reach the programmed threshold, the system can automatically retract the blind, helping to protect the installation from potentially damaging weather conditions. Combining a Markilux roof blind with Somfy motorisation and weather sensors creates a convenient and intelligent solar shading solution for the modern home.
Effective Solar Shading for London Homes
Large areas of glazing can look fantastic, but they can also allow considerable amounts of solar heat and glare into a property during brighter and warmer weather. An external motorised roof blind can help reduce direct solar gain before it reaches the glazing, improving comfort within the space below while also providing welcome shade. For our SE15 client, the Markilux 870 Tracfix provides the perfect combination of:
- Effective protection from strong sunlight and glare
- Convenient Somfy motorised operation
- Remote control functionality
- Added protection from the Somfy wind sensor
- Excellent fabric tension through the Tracfix system
- A sleek and contemporary appearance
- High-quality German-engineered Markilux technology
