Know before you buy
The unit requires a level, stable surface such as a concrete slab, compacted gravel pad, or a pier foundation. Because the structure is heavy, ensuring the ground is properly leveled is essential for the expansion mechanism to function correctly and for the doors and windows to align.
Yes, the Duo Mod arrives fully utility-ready with pre-installed electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and lighting. You will need to hire a licensed professional to connect these systems to your local utility grid or off-grid power and water sources.
The home is built with a durable steel frame and 65 mm EPS color steel composite panels, providing excellent insulation and fire-retardant properties. It is rated for a snow load capacity of 1.0 kN/m2 and features an anti-corrosion coating, making it suitable for a wide range of climates.
The unit is engineered with premium soundproofing materials that provide a 60db reduction. This significantly dampens external noise, creating a much quieter and more private living environment than standard container structures.
With proper maintenance and care, the Duo Mod is designed for a service life of 50 years or more. The use of electrostatic sprayed protective coatings on the steel frame helps prevent rust and degradation over time.
While the unit is designed for a quick setup in under an hour, it requires heavy lifting equipment like a crane or forklift to unfold the expandable sections safely. We strongly recommend working with a professional installation team to ensure the structure is properly secured and leveled.
