Winter terrace: How to turn it into a source of income all year round

For many bars, coffee shops, restaurants, and hotels, the terrace represents a key stage to increase turnover, loyalty, and visibility. However, when the cold arrives, if the outdoor area is not conditioned, many customers move indoors or leave before consuming. Improving thermal comfort in winter terraces is no longer an option: it is a strategic need to maintain profitability 365 days a year. For this reason, it is essential to have a team of experts like in Magnovent.

Improving thermal comfort in winter terraces is no longer an option: it is a strategic need to maintain profitability 365 days a year. For this reason, it is essential to have a team of experts like in Magnovent.

In the HORECA sector, a terrace without adequate air conditioning loses its competitive advantage. A customer who finds it cold on the terrace abandons or consumes less, which directly impacts the average ticket. In the context of winter terraces, the lack of efficient systems translates into losses of use, negative valuations, and low repetition of customers. Betting on outdoor air conditioning means maximizing the investment in outdoor space throughout the year.

To achieve a functional terrace also during winter, it is key to combine technologies. Magnovent’s solution proposes to combine the MagnoHeat® radiant heating system with Boreas, Airlux or Cefiro ceiling fans. This combination allows winter terraces to move from being a cost to an active resource, operating both in cold and heat, and optimizing consumption.

In summer, a ceiling fan reduces the heat sensation between 2 and 6 °C, makes the terrace more attractive, avoids moving indoors, and reduces dependence on air conditioning. On the other hand, in spaces where greater flexibility is required, the industrial portable fans allows different areas to be cooled quickly and without complex installations.

And in winter, a well-heated terrace with radiant heating provides immediate heat, focused on people and surfaces, without air losses in open spaces. In addition, when you add a fan in reverse mode, you can reduce the stratification and cut energy consumption by up to 30%.

Having an efficient system for the well-heated winter terrace offers multiple advantages:

• Customer loyalty thanks to a comfortable environment that invites you to stay longer.
• Increase the average ticket by prolonging consumption in outdoor spaces, achieving a much faster return on investment.
• Improvement of the online reputation and evaluation of the establishment for offering comfort all year round.
• Reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional air conditioning, thanks to systems optimized for outdoor use.
• Aesthetic adaptability thanks to the use of discreet solutions that do not affect the design or functionality of the terrace.

With a well-implemented winter terrace, energy consumption is reduced, the aesthetic design is maintained, and the impact of major works is avoided.

The MagnoHeat® system represents the spearhead in radiant heating: instant heat, modern design, flexible installation, and suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Together with our ceiling fans, which cover large volumes, reduce the thermal sensation in summer, and destratify in winter, it forms a thermal ecosystem ideal for any terrace of the HORECA sector that seeks to operate without interruptions, 365 days.

The demand for air-conditioned outdoor environments continues to rise. The global outdoor HVAC market is projected to reach $2.15 billion by 2032, confirming that preparing a winter terrace is aligning with a future trend and gaining a real competitive advantage.
