Floating houses, also known as pontoon houses, are intended for use on inland waterways, in naturally protected areas, or in marinas shielded by breakwaters. Throughout this site, the terms “floating house” and “pontoon house” are used interchangeably to describe homes built on stable pontoon platforms. These homes are built on a stable pontoon platform, providing a comfortable and secure living space on the water while allowing for flexibility and minimal impact on the surrounding environment.
Concrete Pontoon Floating House Platforms – Built to Suit Your Needs
Concrete Pontoon Floating House platforms provide a stable foundation for building a house on water. A house can be built on any of the pontoons produced by us. Heavy duty pontoons or timber pontoons with concrete floats, and less commonly pontoons on plastic floats, are usually used as platforms for floating houses. We will select the appropriate pontoon based on these three conditions:
- on which waterbody the floating house will be located on and what are the natural conditions like there;
- what is the structure of the house like;
- how big will the house be.
Heavy Duty Pontoons – The Most Stable Platform for Floating Houses
Among the types of pontoons we produce, heavy duty pontoons stand out as the most stable and durable option for floating houses. Heavy duty pontoons are an excellent choice for floating house platforms because they are the most stable of all floating structures. They are strong and durable against weather conditions and ice pressure. These pontoons also offer ample space to conveniently hide necessary house utilities such as piping and waste collection tanks.
