Water mist is a versatile and very efficient variant for fire fighting. For this purpose, water mist systems are equipped with special nozzles that generate a very fine water mist.
Thus, a water mist extinguishing system enables a:
- increased water surface, which is 1600 times larger than with classic sprinkler systems
- effective fire containment
- rapid cooling and smothering of the fire with low extinguishing water requirements
Water mist thus fights fires on two sides of the combustion triangle by depriving the fire of oxygen and absorbing the heat.
Water mist systems - Sustainable & effective
Water mist extinguishing systems have the advantage that significantly smaller quantities of extinguishing water - and thus also a smaller supply of extinguishing water - are required. Savings of up to 95 % can be achieved compared to classic sprinkler systems.
At the same time, there is also less damage to the extinguishing water after the water mist extinguishing system has been triggered in the building. Consequently, long disruptions or interruptions to business operations can also be minimised. In addition, the use of water mist is non-toxic and water mist systems do not require warning and evacuation times compared to gas extinguishing systems.

Water mist - versatile in use
Fire extinguishing with water mist is suitable for many application and protection areas. A water mist extinguishing system can be individually adapted to the specific conditions on site with the help of different system parameters (e.g. nozzles) for each part of the building or hazardous area.
Possible areas of application for water mist:
- Industrial plants / production facilities
- Commercial buildings
- Conventional buildings
- Data centres / switchgear
- Listed buildings
- Recycling plants

Advantages of water mist
Environmentally friendly
Water mist is characterised by water savings of up to 95 % compared to sprinkler systems.
Cost efficiency
Small system components enable quick installation, saving you time & money.
Fewer operational interruptions
The water mist system is quickly ready for operation again and is non-toxic.
Aesthetic fire protection
Nozzles in various colours and designs enable fire protection without compromising aesthetics.
More safety with water mist
A water mist system increases the safety in your building immensely. At the same time, our system also enables a safe escape route in case of fire.
Our low-pressure water mist extinguishing system can already be installed as compensation for a second escape and rescue route. This is particularly relevant for existing buildings which, for example, require a second escape and rescue route as part of the subsequent creation of living space. This is often difficult or very cost-intensive to realise. A water mist extinguishing system offers an adequate solution that has already been recognised by the authority for stand development and housing of a German city with over a million inhabitants and is installed / under construction or in the planning stage at several of our customers.
