Radiant Heating for Tents or Event Marquees: Immediate Comfort for Your Events
Provide your guests with a warm atmosphere, even in the heart of winter or on cool evenings
Whether it’s a wedding, private reception, trade show, or corporate event, tents, marquees, and canopies are practical but often poorly insulated solutions. Electric radiant heating is perfectly suited for these temporary structures: it heats people directly, without energy loss in the air, and installs easily without ventilation or noise.
Why choose radiant heating under a tent or marquee?
- Immediate warmth directly felt by guests
- No noise or draft: comfort and discretion
- Simple installation on aluminum or steel structures
- No flame, no gas: maximum safety in public venues (ERP)
- Easily dismantled, ideal for event service providers
Typical applications
- Private receptions or weddings
- Corporate events under marquees
- Fairs, exhibitions, temporary shows
- Outdoor VIP or lounge areas
- Refreshment stands, catering or logistics tents
What type of heating to choose?
- Short waves (IR-A): ideal for very open tents or wind-exposed locations
- Medium waves (IR-M): for semi-enclosed marquees or with side curtains

Recommended power
- Small tent (10 to 15 m²): 2,000 to 3,000 W
