Arborlon Expandable Container Houses – Full Technical Specifications, Coastal Performance & Layout Options

Arborlon Expandable Container Houses are premium modular living solutions designed for strength, comfort, and long-term reliability. Built using hot-dip galvanised steel, insulated panels, and fully certified electrical and plumbing systems, they offer a modern, durable alternative to traditional building.

🌴 Built for the Pacific Islands & Coastal Environments

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 environmental challenges that standard housing often cannot withstand:
salt-laden winds, high humidity, cyclonic storms, intense UV exposure, and heavy rainfall.

Arborlon Expandable Container Houses are engineered specifically for these conditions, making them ideal for:

• Fiji

• Samoa

• Tonga

• Cook Islands

• Vanuatu

• New Caledonia

• Remote island communities

Traditional homes often struggle in these environments, but Arborlon homes excel due to their material selection, coatings, and sealed structural design.

✔ Built for Coastal Durability

Coastal regions face constant moisture, salt spray, and UV degradation. Arborlon homes use materials specifically chosen for marine and tropical environments:

High-Performance Anti-Corrosion Materials

• Corrosion-Resistant Alloy Steel
  Hot-dip galvanised, thick-gauge structural steel designed for long-term rust resistance—even when installed right next to the ocean.

• Aluminum Alloy Components
  Used throughout the window frames, trims, and optional door upgrades. Lightweight, non-rusting, and ideal for high-humidity zones.

• 316L Marine-Grade Stainless Steel
  Used on key fasteners, fittings, and hardware. Offers the highest corrosion resistance available in the industry.

• Anti-Corrosion Protective Coatings
  All major components receive protective treatment to dramatically extend lifespan.

✔ Multi-Layer Marine Surface Treatment

Arborlon homes receive a multi-stage protection process far superior to standard prefab or modular buildings:

1. Hot-Dip Galvanization
   Creates a corrosion-proof zinc coating that protects the structural steel from the inside out.

2. Epoxy Zinc-Rich Primer
   Strong adhesion + anti-oxidation barrier.

3. Polyurethane Marine Topcoat
   UV-resistant, water-repellent, and designed for constant salt exposure.

This system ensures long-term durability with minimal maintenance—critical for island communities where repairs can be expensive and access to services limited.

✔ Fully Sealed & Welded Structural Design

Moisture intrusion is one of the biggest threats to coastal homes.

Arborlon eliminates these issues through:

• Seamless Welded Frame — no weak connection points

• Weatherproof Seals on all Joints

• Marine-Grade Door & Window Gaskets

• Integrated Drainage Channels

• Water Diversion Design

This provides exceptional resistance against:

• driving rain

• cyclonic wind

• airborne salt

• humidity

• mould and dampness

✔ Tested and Proven for Harsh Coastal Conditions

Arborlon homes undergo rigorous testing far beyond basic industry standards.

ASTM B117 Salt Spray Test

Simulates years of coastal exposure in an accelerated environment.
Arborlon coatings and materials demonstrate exceptional corrosion resistance.

Moisture & Humidity Testing

All panels, insulation, and coatings are tested for long-term resistance to mould, damp, and structural degradation.

Wind Load & Structural Testing

Ensures stability and frame integrity even in high-wind island regions.

Optional Coastal Upgrade Packages

For extreme locations, upgrades include:

• Extra marine coatings

• Full 316 stainless fittings

• High-grade sealants

• Enhanced window/door systems

This makes Arborlon one of the most resilient prefab systems available for Pacific coastal housing, resorts, or government projects.
