Description
Living in the Pacific Islands comes with incredible beauty—breathtaking ocean views, a warm climate, and a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by nature. But it also brings a set of environmental challenges that standard housing often cannot withstand. From salt-laden winds and high humidity to cyclonic storms and heavy rain, coastal living requires homes that are built for resilience.
That’s where Arborlon Expandable Container Houses come in—engineered specifically for coastal environments, especially in remote and island regions. Whether you’re building in Fiji, Samoa, the Cook Islands, or the outer reaches of New Zealand and Australia, Arborlon homes offer durability, storm protection, and long-term reliability unmatched by traditional construction.
Built for Coastal Durability
Coastal areas in the Pacific are known for their harsh conditions. Arborlon container houses are constructed from materials designed to withstand these elements, including salt spray, strong UV rays, high humidity, and cyclonic winds. Unlike timber or conventional steel homes, Arborlon houses are specifically tailored to combat corrosion, rust, and moisture-related damage.
High-Performance Anti-Corrosion Materials
Every Arborlon expandable home is built using top-grade, marine-ready materials, ensuring structural integrity even after years of exposure to salt air and extreme weather:
Corrosion-Resistant Alloy Steel: The structural frame is crafted from specialized steel designed to endure rust and corrosion. This means your home will stay stronger for longer, even if placed right by the beach.
Aluminum Alloy Components: Used for window frames, trim, and other fixtures, aluminum is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and ideal for high-humidity conditions.
316L Stainless Steel: Known for its superior resistance to salt and oxidation, this marine-grade stainless steel is used for critical fittings and fasteners throughout the build.
Anti-Corrosion Coatings: Additional protective coatings extend the lifespan of all structural elements, reducing long-term maintenance.
These premium materials not only enhance the home’s longevity but also maintain its appearance and value, even in environments where most structures degrade quickly.
Multi-Layer Surface Treatment for Long-Term Protection
Unlike ordinary prefabs or modular buildings, Arborlon homes are treated with a multi-stage coating process designed for the harshest marine conditions:
Hot-Dip Galvanization: The steel base structure is galvanized to prevent foundational corrosion.
Epoxy Zinc-Rich Primer: This layer ensures long-lasting adhesion and adds a crucial line of defense against oxidation.
Polyurethane Topcoat: The final finish is more than just aesthetic—it provides a water-resistant, UV-protective barrier that resists peeling, flaking, and surface corrosion from salty air.
Together, these surface treatments significantly reduce upkeep and extend the functional lifespan of your home—ideal for islands where access to maintenance services may be limited.
Fully Sealed and Welded Structural Design
One of the most common issues in tropical and coastal homes is moisture intrusion. Arborlon container homes feature a fully sealed and welded structure, which minimizes potential entry points for water, air, and salt:
Reinforced Welds: These eliminate weak seams found in traditional construction, enhancing both strength and waterproofing.
Weatherproof Seals: All joins, edges, and connections are tightly sealed to resist rain, wind, and salt air—offering year-round protection.
Integrated Drainage Systems: Built-in water management systems prevent standing water buildup and direct rainwater away from critical areas, reducing internal rust and corrosion risk.
This high level of protection ensures comfort, energy efficiency, and structural stability even in cyclone-prone areas or remote islands.
Rigorously Tested for Coastal Resilience
Arborlon container homes undergo extensive environmental and durability testing to ensure they perform as promised:
ASTM B117 Salt Spray Test: This industry-standard test replicates years of exposure to salty air in a matter of weeks. Arborlon homes pass this test with flying colors, showcasing their ability to resist corrosion in island conditions.
Moisture and Wind Load Testing: Simulated high-humidity and storm tests ensure every structure can handle the rigors of the Pacific climate.
Custom Anti-Corrosion Packages: For areas that experience especially harsh weather, additional upgrades are available, including high-grade sealants, upgraded stainless steel parts, and extra protective coatings.
These tests provide peace of mind for homeowners, developers, and government agencies looking to invest in long-term, low-maintenance housing for coastal communities.
Designed for the Pacific Islands
Arborlon homes aren’t just weatherproof—they’re also designed with island living in mind. With easy transportability, fast installation, and compact, efficient layouts, these homes are perfect for:
Remote Island Developments
