Restaurant & Bar Heating: Commercial Infrared Solutions

If you are looking to attract more customers to your pub, bistro, or hospitality venue, taking full advantage of your exterior spaces is essential. A premium restaurant & bar heating setup encourages patrons to stay longer, order more, and significantly increases your overall spend-per-head. Keep your clients warm and comfortable all year round with our comprehensive range of commercial infrared heaters, specifically engineered for the demanding hospitality sector.

Our infrared bar heaters are the perfect heating solution for any outdoor setting, including pub patios, al fresco dining spaces, VIP terraces, and dedicated smoking areas. Utilizing advanced shortwave quartz technology, these heaters are safe, immensely powerful, and fully weatherproof with rigorous IP ratings. By integrating smart zonal controls, you can maximize your heating efficiency and grant customers individual control over their thermal comfort.

Maximizing Revenue in Outdoor Areas

In the highly competitive hospitality industry, your outdoor square footage is just as valuable as your indoor dining area. However, as the evening chill sets in or the autumn and winter months approach, unheated terraces quickly become dead space. By investing in a commercial-grade open air heating system, you instantly transform seasonal patios into year-round revenue generators.

Unlike traditional gas patio heaters that are bulky, expensive to run, and emit dangerous localized emissions, our electric infrared heaters provide instant, directional warmth. Because infrared technology heats solid objects and people directly rather than warming the surrounding air, the heat is not blown away by the wind. This guarantees that your guests remain perfectly comfortable even in highly exposed coastal or rooftop bar locations.

Flexible Installation: Saving Valuable Floor Space

In a busy restaurant, every square meter of floor space should be dedicated to seating customers, not navigating around clumsy gas heating towers. Our outdoor heaters are sleek, stylish, and designed to blend seamlessly into any architectural surrounding.

Benefitting from highly flexible installation options, our infrared heaters can be wall mounted, ceiling mounted, or even integrated directly into existing architectural structures. For venues utilizing parasols, awnings, or commercial canopies, we offer bespoke brackets that allow the heaters to be attached directly to the framework. This ensures the heat is directed perfectly over the tables without sacrificing a single inch of valuable floor space.

Our Premium Commercial Heating Ranges

Aureum Products supplies thousands of infrared heaters to the hospitality, leisure, and tourism sectors. We cater to bars, pubs, clubs, brasseries, bistros, cafes, and luxury hotel destinations. Single heaters are available for small, intimate spaces, whereas double or triple heater configurations are deployed in larger commercial environments to ensure optimal thermal coverage.

Our flagship Tansun ranges are globally recognized as the gold standard for bar environments due to their exceptional heat range, reliability, and versatility:

• The Sorrento Range: A robust, all-weather workhorse perfect for large pub gardens and highly exposed outdoor areas.
• The Rio Grande Range: Sleek and unobtrusive, offering powerful shortwave heat with a refined aesthetic suitable for high-end dining.
• The Bahama Range: Featuring ultra-low glare technology, these units provide intense warmth without the harsh red light, preserving the ambient mood lighting of your venue.
• The Monaco Range: High-capacity, premium heaters designed for expansive VIP terraces and large-scale commercial installations.

Intelligent Zonal Heating for the Dining Area

Operational efficiency is critical to maintaining your profit margins. Traditional heating solutions force you to heat the entire venue simultaneously. With our infrared systems, you can implement an intelligent zonal heating strategy. By wiring your heaters into multi-zone controllers, time-lag switches, or push-button timers, you can ensure that heat is only delivered to the specific dining area that is currently occupied.

If only three tables are seated on a Tuesday evening, your staff can activate the heaters exclusively for those patrons. The heaters require absolutely zero pre-heating time, instantly reaching maximum thermal output the moment they are switched on. This micro-management of your energy consumption drastically reduces your utility bills while ensuring a five-star customer experience.

Energy Efficiency and Running Costs

Running a profitable hospitality venue requires strict management of operational overheads. When evaluating a commercial heating solution, facility managers must look beyond the initial purchase price and calculate the ongoing operating expenses. Traditional gas patio heaters are notorious for their poor energy efficiency; a significant percentage of the heat they produce is instantly lost to the surrounding air, making them incredibly expensive to run per hour.

In stark contrast, commercial electric infrared heaters boast an outstanding energy conversion rate. Almost every single watt of electricity drawn from your supply is converted directly into usable, directional heat that actually reaches your patrons. By upgrading to an electric system, venues can see dramatic reductions in their monthly energy bills. Furthermore, unlike gas systems that require expensive annual servicing and physical replacement of gas bottles, our solid-state electric heaters possess absolutely no moving parts. They require zero ongoing maintenance, significantly lowering your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) while maximizing the profitability of your outdoor areas.

Free Professional Design Service

Specifying the correct wattage, mounting height, and IP rating for a commercial environment requires technical expertise. If you are unsure about the best infrared heater for your outdoor bar area, Aureum Products offers a comprehensive, free design and specification service.

All we need from you is a basic outline of your scheme, along with any drawings, photographs, or architectural plans of the outdoor space. From this, our heating experts will calculate the exact thermal requirements of your venue. We will provide a bespoke layout plan and guide you toward the right products that meet the unique needs of your outdoor area, ensuring no capital is wasted on under- or over-specified equipment.
