Radiant Heating for Hotels: Premium Comfort Outdoors
Terrace, rooftop, patio or balcony: offer a premium experience all year round
In hospitality, every outdoor space is an opportunity to enhance the guest experience. Whether it’s a rooftop with a view, a restaurant terrace, a quiet patio, or a private balcony, electric radiant heating ensures comfort and conviviality even on cool evenings or during transitional seasons. Silent, odorless, and with discreet design, these systems perfectly fit the image of a high-end hotel.
Why choose radiant heating in a hotel?
Radiant heating works by infrared radiation. It directly heats people and surfaces without disturbing the ambiance:
- Immediate thermal comfort, even outdoors
- Visual and acoustic discretion
- Automation options (smart home, Smartbox, presence sensor)
- Wall, ceiling, or recessed installation depending on aesthetic
- ERP compliance: no flame, no gas, enhanced safety
