Radiant Heating for Event Tent: Thermal Comfort for Your Large Structures

Welcome your guests in a tempered space, even in winter or mid-season

Event tents and temporary structures often feature large volumes that are poorly insulated, with significant temperature variations. To ensure public comfort without bulky or noisy systems, electric radiant heating offers a flexible, efficient, and easy-to-install solution—even for short-term events.

Why use radiant heating in a tent?

• Immediate warmth as soon as it’s turned on
• No noise or ventilation: ideal for conferences, shows, or meals
• Quick installation on metal frames
• Zone heating: optimized consumption based on occupancy
• No flame or gas: maximum safety for temporary public venues

Common applications

• Galas and dinners under tents
• Trade fairs, congresses, or exhibitions
• Ceremonies (awards, weddings, conferences)
• Festival public areas or press zones
• Backstages or protected logistics areas

Which type of infrared to use?

• Short wave (IR-A): for powerful, direct radiation even in large volumes
• Medium wave (IR-M): for semi-enclosed tents or insulated tarps
• Suspended modules: for uniform ceiling coverage

Recommended power by use

• 50 m² tent (cocktail or meeting): 4,000 to 6,000 W
• 100 m² tent (seated meal or conference): 8,000 to 12,000 W, distributed
• Large structure >200 m²: modular installation with zone management (entrance, stage, tables)

Installation tips

• Direct mounting on metal arches or specific supports
• Recommended height: 2.5 to 3.5 meters for optimal diffusion
• Provide protected wiring and secure power supply (reinforced outlets)
• IP65 rating recommended for moisture and dust resistance

Benefits for events
