HD-Floor Structural Base
Engineered for Speed, Strength, and Simplicity.
What Is the HD-Floor System?
The HD-Floor Structural Base is the foundation of every ePodHomes unit — a precision-engineered platform designed for durability and efficiency.
Built with a hybrid of high-strength steel framing and composite decking, it delivers exceptional load-bearing capacity while remaining lightweight and fast to install.
Each component is factory-fabricated for consistency and ease of transport, ensuring rapid deployment on any prepared site with minimal groundwork.
The result is a strong, level, and weather-resistant base that allows your pods to be installed, relocated, or expanded in record time.
Key Advantages of the HD-Floor System
Modular & Scalable
Interlocks seamlessly to suit single pods or full-scale clusters.
Lightweight Strength
Combines structural-grade steel and composite decking for lasting rigidity.
Fast Installation
Designed for quick on-site assembly with minimal tools or heavy machinery.
Weather & Pest Resistant
Performs under all climate conditions — no rust, rot, or termite damage.
Applications of the HD-Floor System
The HD-Floor System adapts seamlessly across residential, commercial, and special-purpose projects.
Its modular design allows rapid installation, relocation, and scaling — ideal for both temporary and permanent structures.
- Prefabricated housing platforms (ePod Homes, lodges, staff housing)
- Rooftop extensions and mezzanine decks
- Portable stages and exhibition flooring
- Outdoor terraces and raised walkways
- Light commercial and container-based installations
