Cooling for summer gardens and terraces.

High-pressure misting for restaurants, cafés, hotels, tourism venues or private terraces. The felt temperature on your terrace drops by 8 - 16 °C - guests stay longer, the season extends by 60+ days, outdoor seating occupancy grows by 25 - 40%. Dry mist evaporates in the air, so it never wets guests, tables or floors — no wet surfaces, no noise, discreetly built into pergolas, parasols or canopies.

Why it pays off

Every hot weekend you no longer lose.

In Slovenia, from late June to mid-September the average afternoon temperature exceeds 28 °C, and heatwave peaks regularly break 35 °C. This is exactly the period when the terrace is the most profitable part of the venue - and at the same time the period when guests flee the heat for indoor, air-conditioned spaces, or skip the venue altogether. High-pressure misting changes that. A great deal is invested in a terrace. Keep the terrace full even on hot summer days.

Dry mist — cooling without wetness

Dry mist is an evaporative cooling effect in which the water evaporates so fast that the mist does not reach people or wet the surroundings. High pressure (100 bar) atomises the water into 15 µm droplets that evaporate in milliseconds on contact with air — leaving only fresh, cooled air. Unlike the "wet mist" of conventional sprayers, no droplets land on tables, chairs, guests or glasses.

Commercial impact

Restaurants that installed our systems in 2024 report a 25 – 40 % rise in outdoor seating occupancy on hot days and a season extended into mid-October on the coast and the end of September inland. The investment usually pays back within one to two seasons through revenue otherwise lost to competitors relying on a classic parasol.

Weather resilience

The system does not replace shading — it works in combination with a pergola, canopy or parasol. On dry, hot days (Slovenian continental climate, the Adriatic coast, the Vipava Valley, the Karst) the effect is most pronounced. On very humid days above 80 % humidity the system automatically reduces intensity so the droplets fully evaporate.

Site typologies

Four typical installations.

Every site is different, but most projects fall into one of four typologies. The descriptions below are general guidance - the final design is always adapted to your geometry, structure material and the capacity of the water connection.

  1. Pergola and awning

    Nozzles are built into the upper frame of the pergola or the awning arm, spaced 80 cm apart. 11 mm tubing runs along the structure profile. The most common configuration for restaurants with wooden or metal pergolas - Bled, Bohinj, Portorož, Ljubljana, Maribor.

  2. Parasol with central or side pole

    The nozzle line is mounted on the parasol edges, aimed toward the centre and at the same time toward the outer side (the passage) where it invites guests onto the terrace. A modular solution for cafés and patisseries where the terrace is not a permanent structure. For larger parasols (4 × 4 m) we recommend 8 or more nozzles per parasol.

Frequently asked questions

Questions from hospitality owners.

Why is a misting system a good solution for a hospitality terrace?

A misting system is an excellent solution for summer gardens, terraces, bars, restaurants, hotels, clubs, wellness areas and private outdoor spaces, because it lets guests sit outside more pleasantly even on hot days. Instead of the terrace becoming too hot and empty, the system creates a sense of freshness, lowers the air temperature and improves guest comfort. For the operator that means a better experience, longer guest stays and greater use of the outdoor space during the summer season.

How can a cooled terrace affect a venue's revenue?

On hot days guests often choose the venue where they feel more comfortable. If the terrace is pleasantly cooled, fresh and visually appealing, guests are more likely to decide to sit right there. That can mean more occupied tables, longer stays, more orders and a better competitive edge over neighbouring venues. Cooling the terrace is not only a technical solution — it can directly affect sales.

Can the system help attract guests from neighbouring venues?

Yes. In the summer heat guests quickly notice the difference between an ordinary terrace and one where the sense of freshness is better. The fine mist also has a visual effect, so passers-by more quickly perceive that the venue offers a more pleasant environment. If a guest sees others sitting comfortably outside even at high temperatures, they are more likely to choose that venue.

Is a misting system an interesting novelty for guests?

Yes. Guests remember the experience, not just the offer. A fine mist on the terrace creates a sense of freshness, tidiness and extra attention to guest comfort. For bars, restaurants, hotels and clubs this can be a pleasant novelty that sets the space apart from the competition. The system is not intrusive, yet guests notice it, especially on days that are hot and humid outside.

How does the system lower the temperature on the terrace?

The system disperses water into very fine droplets. These droplets evaporate quickly, drawing heat from the surrounding air in the process. This is the principle of adiabatic cooling. The guest feels more pleasant, fresher air, without the need to enclose the space or use classic air conditioning. The effect is best on hot and drier days, when the mist evaporates fastest.

Why do you use a system with about 100 bar of pressure?

High pressure is key to mist quality. A system at about 100 bar disperses the water into very small droplets that evaporate quickly. The smaller the droplets, the lower the chance of wetting tables, chairs, guests or floors. That is precisely why a high-pressure system suits hospitality, where the effect must be pleasant, discreet and safe to use around guests.

Will guests get wet?

With a properly designed system, no. The purpose of the system is not to wet people, tables or floors, but to cool the air. The nozzles are placed at the right height, in the correct direction and with appropriate spacing so the mist evaporates in the air. During the site visit we check the table layout, wind direction, canopy, pergola, mounting height and airflow so the effect is fresh, not disturbing.

What about guests' hair, make-up and clothing?

This is a very important question for an operator. With a professional high-pressure system the humidity changes minimally, and the mist is fine enough to evaporate quickly. Guests should not feel wet, and the system must not spoil hair, make-up or clothing. That is why correct installation is key. The system must create a sense of freshness, not a sense of dampness.

Does the system wet tables, chairs, floors or cutlery?

No, if it is properly dimensioned and adjusted. In a professional installation the mist evaporates in the air before it lands on surfaces. The system must be adapted to the terrace size, mounting height, wind and guest layout. If droplets fall on tables or floors, the system is not set correctly or is operating in unsuitable conditions. That is why an expert site visit is an important part of preparing the solution.

Does the system increase humidity on the terrace?

Yes, but with proper use it is very controlled. Because it is usually an open or semi-open space, the humidity quickly disperses into the surroundings. The system must not create a feeling of sultriness. Operation can be adapted to temperature, humidity, wind and time of day. The goal is a pleasant microclimate, not a damp space.

Does more water mean a greater cooling effect?

In principle, yes. The more water that evaporates into the air, the more heat is drawn from the surroundings and the greater the cooling effect. However, water consumption must be properly controlled. The goal is not to use as much water as possible, but to achieve the maximum cooling effect without wetting guests, furniture or floors. That is why the system is set according to the actual conditions on the terrace.

Can the system adjust automatically to conditions?

Yes. The system can switch on according to temperature, an operating schedule, manual activation or additional sensors. In more advanced versions, operation can also adapt to relative humidity. Automation is very important in hospitality, because staff have no time to operate the system manually all the time. The system must run when needed and switch off when conditions are not suitable.

Why is a UV steriliser important?

Because guests breathe air in which fine water mist is dispersed, water quality must be under control. We build a UV steriliser into our systems, which helps ensure the microbiological safety of the water. This is especially important in hospitality, hotels, wellness areas and on public terraces, where the system must be safe, hygienic and suitable for use near guests.

Does the system support HACCP principles?

Yes. A system with a UV steriliser, suitable filtration, regular maintenance and proper water control supports HACCP principles. It is important that the system is used and maintained according to the prescribed regime. For an operator that means better control over the water dispersed into the environment and safer use of the system in a hospitality space.

Do you offer regular system maintenance?

Yes. We offer regular professional system maintenance to ensure flawless operation through the season. During maintenance we check the filters, nozzles, tubing, high-pressure pump, UV steriliser, controls, system sealing and spray quality. If needed we clean or replace worn components and re-adjust the system to the actual conditions of use.

Why is regular maintenance important for an operator?

An operator needs a system that runs reliably exactly when the terrace is full and temperatures are highest. Clogged nozzles, poor pressure, uneven spraying or poor water quality can quickly spoil the guest experience. Regular maintenance means fewer worries, a longer equipment lifespan, hygienically safer operation and a stable cooling effect on the busiest days.

Do you guarantee flawless operation?

With regular professional maintenance and correct use of the system, we ensure flawless operation within the agreed service regime. That means we regularly check, clean, adjust and prepare the system for the season. For an operator this matters because they can focus on guests while we make sure the misting system runs correctly, safely and reliably.

Does the system help against mosquitoes and flies?

Yes. The fine mist makes it harder for mosquitoes and flies to fly and settle in the terrace area. The tiny water droplets and air movement create conditions that are less favourable for insects. This does not mean the system removes all insects, but it can noticeably improve guest comfort, especially in the evening hours, near water, lawns, pools and gardens.

Can we repel mosquitoes with natural aromas?

Yes. Suitable natural aromas can be added to the system to help repel mosquitoes while creating a more pleasant ambience. It is important that the aromas are suitable for such use, discreet and do not interfere with food, drink or guests. In hospitality it is very important that the scent is pleasant, not overpowering.

Can the system be used for pleasant ambient aromas?

Yes. The system can be used for gentle natural or ambient aromas that improve the feel of the terrace. This is suitable for hotels, lounge bars, wellness areas, summer gardens and private terraces. We recommend using the term natural aromas or ambient fragrances rather than promising therapeutic effects. The purpose is a better ambience and a more pleasant guest experience.

Does the system help with unpleasant odours?

Yes. A misting system can help neutralise unpleasant odours on outdoor surfaces. This is useful where odours arise from the kitchen, waste, drains, traffic or surroundings. By using suitable odour-neutralising agents the sense of freshness on the terrace can be improved. The system must be set discreetly so the space does not feel artificially scented.

Is the system suitable for hotels?

Yes. Hotels can use the misting system on outdoor terraces, by pools, in wellness areas, outdoor restaurants, lounge zones and event spaces. Hotel guests expect a higher level of comfort, so a pleasantly cooled outdoor space is an important advantage. The system can improve the guest experience, extend the use of outdoor areas and increase the value of the hotel's offer.

Can you also help with pre-cooling units at hotels?

Yes. At hotels, restaurants and larger facilities the system can also be used to pre-cool outdoor air-conditioning units, condensers and cooling equipment. On hot days these units operate in overheated outdoor air, so they are more loaded and consume more energy. A fine mist can lower the intake air temperature before the heat exchanger, relieving the unit and potentially significantly reducing energy consumption. Such a solution must be technically correctly designed to avoid limescale, corrosion or wetting of sensitive parts.

Does the system use a lot of electricity?

No. Electricity consumption is low compared with conventional cooling of outdoor areas, which in practice is often not feasible at all. The system mainly uses the high-pressure pump, controls and additional elements such as the UV steriliser. For an operator the main point is that, with relatively low energy use, it improves the usability of the terrace on the hottest days.

Does the system use a lot of water?

Water consumption depends on the terrace size, the number of nozzles, the settings, temperature, wind and run time. Because the system works with very fine droplets, consumption is controlled. More evaporated water means a greater cooling effect, but the system must be set so water is not lost on the floor and does not wet guests. Proper automation helps find the right balance between effect and consumption.

Does wind affect the system's operation?

Yes. Wind is one of the most important factors on outdoor terraces. If the terrace is very exposed to wind, the mist disperses faster and the effect can be smaller. That is why, during the visit, we must check the wind direction, the openness of the space, shading, canopy, railings, planting and table layout. A good design takes account of the real conditions, not just the terrace size.

Is the system suitable under a pergola, awning or canopy?

Yes, but it must be correctly installed. Under a pergola, awning or canopy, care must be taken that the mist does not spray directly onto the fabric, furniture or guests. The nozzles must be positioned so the mist disperses into the air and evaporates. With a well-designed installation the system can be very discreet and effective.

Is the system aesthetically intrusive?

No, if it is properly designed. The tubing and nozzles can be discreetly built into the pergola, canopy, façade, wooden structure, parasols or the terrace edge. In hospitality, aesthetics are very important, so the system must be functional and at the same time as inconspicuous as possible. The guest should perceive a pleasant effect, not technical equipment.

Is the system loud?

On the terrace itself the system is usually very discreet. The high-pressure pump can be placed in a technical room, service area, storeroom or another suitable location, away from guests. On the terrace there are mainly nozzles and tubing, which with proper installation do not disturb the ambience.

Is the system also suitable for private terraces?

Yes. The misting system is also suitable for home terraces, summer kitchens, pergolas, balconies, gardens, pools and outdoor gathering spaces. It lets private users enjoy outdoor living more pleasantly even on hot summer days. The same advantages the system brings to hospitality can also improve comfort at home.

Is the system suitable for pools and wellness areas?

Yes. By pools, in wellness gardens, hotel lounge areas and outdoor relaxation zones the misting system creates a sense of freshness and a higher-quality space. It lets guests stay more pleasantly in the sun or partial shade. Combined with gentle aromas, the space can feel even more relaxing and refined.

Is the system suitable for events and parties?

Yes. The system is very useful for weddings, business events, summer parties, concerts, club terraces, private celebrations and poolside events. On hot days a more pleasant temperature can significantly improve the guest experience. The fine mist also has a visual effect, so it can contribute to a special event atmosphere.

Is the system safe for children and pets?

With proper use, yes. The system uses a fine water mist intended to cool the air, not to spray directly onto people or animals. On private terraces, gardens and by pools it is important that the nozzles are placed at a suitable height and that the system does not create wet or slippery surfaces.

What needs to be checked before installing the system?

Before installation we need to check the terrace size, table layout, mounting height, wind exposure, the type of canopy, access to water and electricity, water quality, the possibility of concealed installation, the desired effect, the use of aromas, insect protection, the UV steriliser and the control method. Based on this, the number of nozzles, pump power, pipe routing and operating mode are determined.

Why is a site visit the best first step?

Every terrace is different. Some are open and windy, others covered, others narrow, shaded or exposed to direct sun. A site visit makes it possible to design the system according to the real conditions, not by guesswork. This achieves cooling without wetting guests, better aesthetics, correct water consumption and reliable operation through the season.

What is the first step if we want to check the system's suitability?

The first step is an enquiry for a site visit. During the visit we check the actual conditions, installation options, water quality, the venue's needs, table layout, the expected effect and options for regular maintenance. Based on this we prepare an expertly tailored proposal for a summer garden, hospitality terrace, hotel space, private terrace, wellness area, garden or poolside space.
