About NAllen Holdings
NAllen Holdings develops patented, fully configurable radiant‑heating technology engineered to give contractors precise control over how cementitious substrates dry, stabilize, and perform.
Built on a 40–200 watt‑per‑inch thermal platform (136.5–682.4 BTU/in²), our systems adapt to varied field conditions—supporting substrate conditioning, moisture management, coating workflows, and environmental thermal control across commercial and industrial construction.
Our technology is deeply rooted in engineering science and real‑world field experience. Founded by multi‑patent inventor Shawn Benn, NAllen Holdings integrates advanced radiant research with on‑site construction knowledge to deliver high‑energy solutions built specifically for concrete and CMU assemblies. Our platform provides scalable, repeatable, and scientifically verified methods to improve substrate readiness, accelerate workflows, and reduce project uncertainty.

OUR MISSION
To modernize construction heating and moisture control through scientifically validated SWIR‑based radiant technology that delivers faster drying, stronger coatings, and predictable field performance in any weather—empowering contractors to build faster, safer, and more efficiently.
​
OUR CORE COMMITMENTS
1. Engineering Excellence
We build systems grounded in real thermodynamics, validated performance data, and proven field reliability.
​
2. Scientific Integrity
Independent laboratory testing—including NCMA ISO/IEC 17025 verification—is central to our development process and ensures substrate safety and moisture‑control effectiveness.
​
3. Jobsite Efficiency
Weather should never determine productivity. Our platform enables work in freezing temperatures, windy environments, and open‑air structures without compromising quality.
​
4. Contractor‑Centered Design
Every system is built around real‑world field requirements—speed, durability, mobility, and high performance under tough conditions.
Letter From the Founder — Shawn Allen Benn
To our partners, contractors, and industry leaders:
​
For more than a decade, I’ve watched crews across the country battle the limitations of traditional jobsite heating. Forced‑air systems lose energy to wind, create uneven results, slow project timelines, and place enormous strain on teams trying to meet schedules in cold‑weather environments.
I built NAllen Holdings to solve that problem—not with incremental improvements, but with a fundamental shift in heating technology.
​
Our patented SWIR platform started with a simple engineering principle:
​
Surface‑first heating is the future of construction.
​
Today, our 307,080 BTU short‑wave radiant platform is proving that principle true every day—delivering instant, high‑intensity radiant energy directly into coatings, substrates, and masonry assemblies, unaffected by wind or ambient temperature.
​
When the National Concrete Masonry Association’s ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory validated our process for safely drying CMU without damage, it confirmed what we already believed:
​
Contractors deserve equipment that is both powerful and scientifically sound.
​
Our mission is simple:
Eliminate weather delays. Improve coating performance. Stabilize masonry faster. And put better tools in the hands of the men and women who build our cities.
​
Thank you for being part of this movement.
We’re just getting started.
