Coastal-Ready Housing for the Pacific Islands
Living in the Pacific Islands offers unmatched natural beauty—crystal-clear oceans, tropical warmth, and a relaxed island lifestyle.
But coastal and island living also brings serious environmental challenges that standard housing often struggles to withstand.
Salt-laden winds, high humidity, intense UV exposure, cyclonic storms, and heavy rainfall demand housing engineered for resilience, not compromise.
That’s exactly where Arborlon Expandable Container Houses stand apart.
Designed specifically for coastal, island, and remote environments, Arborlon homes provide long-term durability, storm resistance, and low-maintenance performance—making them ideal for Fiji, Samoa, the Cook Islands, coastal New Zealand, Australia, and other Pacific regions.
Built for Harsh Coastal & Island Conditions
Coastal environments accelerate corrosion, structural fatigue, and moisture damage.
Arborlon container homes are purpose-engineered to resist these forces, outperforming traditional timber and standard steel construction.
They are designed to handle:
-
Salt-heavy air and ocean spray
-
High humidity and tropical rainfall
-
Intense UV exposure
-
Cyclonic and high-wind conditions
-
Remote locations with limited maintenance access
This makes Arborlon homes a practical and reliable solution for long-term coastal housing.
High-Performance Anti-Corrosion Construction
Every Arborlon expandable home uses marine-ready materials selected for extreme environments:
Corrosion-Resistant Structural Steel
The primary structure is manufactured from specialised alloy steel designed to resist rust and degradation—critical for beachfront and island installations.
Aluminium Alloy Components
Windows, trims, and fittings use aluminium alloys that are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and ideal for humid climates.
316L Marine-Grade Stainless Steel
Critical fasteners and fixtures utilise 316L stainless steel, widely used in marine and offshore industries for its superior salt and oxidation resistance.
Protective Anti-Corrosion Coatings
Additional surface treatments extend structural life and reduce long-term maintenance requirements.
Together, these materials ensure structural integrity, appearance retention, and long-term value, even in aggressive coastal conditions.
Multi-Layer Surface Protection System
Unlike standard prefabricated buildings, Arborlon homes feature a multi-stage marine coating process:
-
Hot-Dip Galvanisation
Protects the steel structure at a foundational level against corrosion. -
Epoxy Zinc-Rich Primer
Provides an additional corrosion barrier and long-term adhesion. -
Polyurethane Topcoat
A UV-resistant, water-repellent finish that prevents peeling, flaking, and surface degradation.
This layered approach significantly extends service life—especially important in remote island regions where maintenance access may be limited.
Fully Sealed & Welded Structural Design
Moisture intrusion is one of the biggest failures in tropical housing.
Arborlon container homes eliminate this risk through a fully sealed, welded construction.
Key advantages include:
-
Reinforced welded joints for superior strength
-
Weather-tight seals at all joins and edges
-
Reduced air and water ingress
-
Integrated drainage systems to manage heavy rainfall
The result is a home that remains dry, stable, and energy-efficient—even during severe weather events.
Tested for Coastal & Cyclone Resilience
Arborlon homes undergo rigorous testing to validate real-world performance:
-
ASTM B117 Salt Spray Testing
Simulates years of salt exposure to confirm corrosion resistance. -
Moisture & Wind Load Testing
Ensures structural performance in high-humidity and storm conditions. -
Optional Enhanced Protection Packages
Available for extreme zones, including upgraded sealants and additional coatings.
These certifications provide confidence for homeowners, developers, governments, and NGOs investing in long-term coastal housing.
Designed Specifically for Pacific Island Living
Beyond durability, Arborlon homes are engineered for logistics and practicality in island regions.
Ideal applications include:
-
Remote island housing developments
-
Tourism resorts and eco-lodges
-
Emergency and disaster-relief housing
-
Affordable coastal housing projects
