Pier 26 – A Solid, Sustainable, Low-Maintenance Masterpiece
From the ground up, Pier 26 was engineered with strength and durability in mind. The driveway and garage slab were constructed to commercial-grade standards, designed to support the immense weight of a crane used for installing the home’s structural metal frame. The foundation of the home is anchored by 26 interconnected piers, providing superior stability and resistance to shifting or settling, even in challenging coastal conditions.

The structural frame is built from hot-dip galvanized steel, offering exceptional protection against corrosion. The galvanization process creates a durable zinc coating that shields the metal from rust and the elements, ensuring long-term durability, especially in a coastal environment. This interconnected framework enhances the home’s structural integrity, making it stronger and more resilient over time.

Guided by sustainability and low maintenance, Pier 26 features cutting-edge materials for maximum energy efficiency. Double-glazed windows and doors, combined with Bondor insulated wall and roof panels, regulate temperature year-round, keeping the home naturally cool in summer and warm in winter, while also providing excellent soundproofing for a peaceful interior.

The walls are finished with Dulux Acratex elastomeric topcoats, creating a protective barrier against moisture, carbon dioxide, and chloride ion contamination. This advanced coating technology not only preserves the masonry but also extends the lifespan of the exterior, ensuring long-lasting resilience against harsh coastal elements.

Completing the home’s low-maintenance vision, the deck is constructed from fiber-reinforced composite materials, eliminating the need for regular oiling and upkeep typical of traditional timber decks. This allows homeowners to enjoy their outdoor spaces effortlessly, with the deck maintaining its appearance and durability for years to come.
