Transforming Outdoor Comfort: Infrared Heaters in Enclosed Canopies
Sector: School Recreation Areas & Modular Structures
We partnered with a client who manufactures and installs large outdoor canopies, enclosed structures, and all-weather sports facilities. The challenge? Providing reliable, effective heating that traditional systems couldn’t match — without sacrificing safety in enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces.
“The design and effectiveness of the infrared heaters were crucial for meeting the heating needs of schools, dining halls, and outdoor classrooms.”
Project Overview
The IHS team collaborated closely with the canopy builders, ensuring the heaters were placed for maximum effect without compromising safety or aesthetics. Schools have since reported improvements in student comfort, extending the usability of these spaces even into colder months. We worked closely with the technical team to provide our range of infrared bar heaters, which emit radiant heat that warms people and objects directly rather than just heating the air. This ensures a consistently comfortable environment without constant thermostat adjustments — essential for schools where the canopies were installed as classroom extensions, dining areas, and flexible outdoor-indoor spaces.
The IHS Infrared Solution
Unlike traditional heaters that warm the air (only to have it escape), infrared heaters warm people and objects directly. This is especially useful in semi-enclosed spaces like outdoor classrooms, dining pavilions, and sports facilities, where airflow can’t be completely sealed. We support a wide range of organisations — from modular shed and home builders to garden room specialists — by supplying them with tailored infrared heating solutions.
