About Our Floating Homes

As space on land becomes more limited and the desire for sustainable living grows, floating homes are quickly becoming a bold and beautiful solution for modern life. At Steel Frame Buildings Ltd, we specialise in creating lightweight, durable steel frame structures perfectly suited for floating homes — whether for full-time waterside living, holiday lets, or eco-conscious developments.

Designing for water brings unique challenges – and our steel frame systems rise to meet them. Resistant to rot, warping, and corrosion, steel is the ideal material for homes that need to remain strong and stable in a damp or humid environment.

Key benefits of our steel frame floating homes

Lightweight Yet Incredibly Strong

Steel frames significantly reduce the weight load on pontoons, barrels, or concrete floats — without compromising structural integrity.

Engineered for Buoyancy-Compatible Design

We work closely with marine engineers and floating platform suppliers to ensure our structures are balanced, secure, and water-ready from day one.

Customisable Layouts & Finishes

From minimalist cabins to luxury water residences, our floating homes can be designed to reflect your lifestyle, taste, and environmental priorities.

Sustainable and Efficient

Pairing a steel frame with energy-efficient cladding, solar readiness, and eco-friendly materials, your floating home is both green and future-proof.

Compliant and Ready for UK Waters

All of our builds meet relevant building control and marine safety standards. We can advise on mooring permissions, insulation, and structural specs.

Living With Less Impact, On Water

Floating homes offer a unique opportunity to live closer to nature while treading lightly on the environment. Whether situated on a canal, lake, or private marina, these homes are ideal for:

  • Off-grid or low-impact living
  • Second homes or holiday rentals
  • Private moorings and floating communities
  • Houseboat replacements or upgrades

Start Your Floating Home Journey

We work with architects, floating base suppliers, and planning consultants to take your project from idea to reality — whether it’s a bespoke one-off build or part of a wider floating development.
