Floating Home 44 — 2: the floating holiday home

Floating Home construction description

that Floating Home is a floating holiday home on a concrete float, built in accordance with the current Energy Saving Ordinance 2016! It combines the charm of a houseboat with the latest technical requirements and subtleties in modern design. With its comfortable furnishings, it meets the requirements of a beautiful holiday home and offers space for an exceptional maritime family vacation with 4 to 6 people.

The pontoon allows a maximum of 25 people on board as a still-bed in port, which also makes convivial dinners and larger gatherings possible. With 44 square meters of living space and a state-of-the-art air-heat pump heating system, you can live generously even on cold days. However, it is much nicer to enjoy sun, wind and water on the 15-square-meter terrace on the bow or the 25-square-meter terrace on the upper deck. The circulating area of 7 square meters allows you to comfortably walk around the Floating Home 44 — 2.

pontoon

The floating foundation of the floating 44 — 2 consists of a reinforced concrete body weighing around 25 tons with polystyrene filling. The pontoon itself has a swimming area of 13.0 m x 5.0 m. The reinforced concrete body is open downwards towards the water. The wall and ceiling have a thickness of approx. 8 cm.

The pontoon allows a maximum number of 25 people in the house/on the pontoon. Dimensions of Floating 44:

Pontoon base length: 13.00 m
Overall length: 14.00 m
Pontoon base width: 5.00 m
Overall width: 6.00 m
Depth: 0.70 m

Deck construction — terraces

At the bow and stern, there is a terrace area of 15 m2 and 7 m2. A beam construction on the pontoon forms the basic framework for the deck construction.

The deck covering of the terrace areas and the gangboard is standard with Belinga hardwood planks oiled of 28 x 145 mm and is bolted to the substructure with weather-resistant stainless steel screws. The shading boards are made of WPC anthracite, also available as an option.

The pontoon hatch on the rear terrace for the technical room of the lifting system and drinking water supply is incorporated into the deck covering.

Additional cleats, such as the middle of the boat and bow/stern, can be ordered for an additional charge. These depend on the berth and can be ordered by the boat owner.

The terrace on the upper deck is covered with oiled hardwood planks or WPC boards (option).

Front and rear railing

Depending on the selection, the railing is galvanised in steel, or alternatively in V2A or raw industrial aluminum. On the front deck (bow) of the floating 44 — 2, a modern railing completes the bow. Two rows of pipes are welded horizontally between the jibs, the top row is welded to a pipe as a handrail guide. When specially designed in aluminum, all welds remain untreated, as they give the house an exclusive and industrial appearance. The railings end backboard and starboard after the cabin has been set up and thus offer convenient access from and on board.

A railing is installed on the aft deck (rear) in the same way as the front deck. This is interrupted in the stern area and therefore offers a further means of access and departure to the houseboat Floating 44 — 2. A stainless steel chain with snap hooks serves as protection.

roof structure

The basis of the roof structure is a frame structure made of I-Beam beams. The roof rests on this construction and forms the support structure for the roof load, which is created by the sun deck terrace. The erected outer walls form the entire supporting framework for the roof unit and form the basis for laying the EPDM tracks.

The roof, which projects towards the bow, is accessible for maintenance or cleaning work and is designed for a maximum load of one person. The entire roof element is covered with an EPDM sheet in black, the eaves in keralite anthracite. On the underside of the overhang roof, the structure is clad with thermowood wood similar to the façade.

The rainwater is drained through laminated rain drains, the downpipes at the bow are integrated into the supporting structure (not visible) and the downpipe at the rear on the two doors as an aluminum profile on the façade.

structural structure of walls and ceilings

Based on this, the floor area of the floating pontoon is followed by the so-called cabin compartment chassis. The floor is constructed from wooden construction beams with a thickness of 45 mm x 170 mm. These structural boards consist of an 18 mm OSB (Oriented Strand Board) board on the inside and a vapor-permeable film on the outside. The gap is filled flush with a 110 mm insulation layer of glass wool insulation with a thermal conductivity value of 0.035 W/m2K and thus forms a torsion-resistant construction (U-value 0.282 W/m2K).

The cabin consists of a timber frame structure. The frame is covered on the outside with a diffusion-proof film in black and the interior lining is made of ready-to-paint furniture panels, which are wallpapered.

funding

In the past, houseboat financing was difficult because, in contrast to construction financing, it did not offer a land register entry as collateral. However, the situation has improved steadily in recent years, not least due to growing demand. Through our partner comparison portal, you can now discover suitable offers at attractive conditions.
