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
  • Portable or wall-mounted units: depending on mobility needs

Recommended power

  • Small tent (10 to 15 m²): 2,000 to 3,000 W
  • Medium marquee (20 to 30 m²): 4,000 to 6,000 W (distributed in modules)
  • Event marquee (>50 m²): modular installation by zones (dining, dance floor, reception)

Installation advice

  • Mounting possible on aluminum tubes, side walls or support structures
  • Ideal height: 2.2 to 2.8 meters for optimal distribution
  • IP65 rating recommended for moisture or wind exposure
  • Provide secure power supply (reinforced sockets, residual current devices)

Benefits for organizers and providers

  • Immediate comfort with no warm-up time
  • Atmosphere preserved (no noise, no draft)
  • Reusable equipment for other events
  • Easy to transport and store
  • Complies with ERP standards (Public venues)
