Does DURASKIRT™ Hold Up Under Freezing & Thawing?

Does DURASKIRT™ Hold Up Under Freezing & Thawing?

Is DURASKIRT™ A Good Cold Climate Skirting Product?

A History Behind the Making of DURASKIRT™

This is a legitimate question because we began by desiring to make the best cold weather skirting product. We hope this article will answer this question to your satisfaction. DURASKIRT™ went through an engineering and designing process before manufacturing our famous concrete board skirting panels which took into consideration the various climates the skirting would be exposed to.

You’ll be glad to know this question and more were addressed during the design and manufacturing processes. Consequently, durable concrete panel skirting was made possible. Indeed, it is now installed on thousands of homes across our great nation with great results.

Beginning In 2000

In 2000 Creative Concrete Products LLC began manufacturing, selling, and installing DURASKIRT™ in several states. These states have some of the nation’s most severe and varying weather conditions. So, you can imagine we needed to pass rigorous testing. As people considered various house skirting ideas, we wanted to provide a concrete skirting panel system for their homes that they could trust.

True Quality – How Durable Is DURASKIRT™?

DURASKIRT™ mobile home skirting

Installing a DURASKIRT™ panel on a manufactured home.

Not to give away all our proprietary secrets, but DURASKIRT™ blends a quality concrete additive package into the panels. The characteristics of these concrete additives provide our panels with unique properties. For example, our concrete board panels resisting cracking and chipping during freeze/thaw conditions. They also help to prevent expansion or warping during hot and cold temperature changes.

The designers of this product were both educated for decades in concrete construction. Likewise, they worked for years with manufactured homes, modular homes, and site-work contractors. This provided an uncommon resume qualifying them for designing and engineering a high-quality product like DURASKIRT™.

Exceptional Circumstances

An exceptional set of circumstances birthed this new house skirting idea, a concrete panel system that succeeded when hundreds of others had failed in their attempts. Truly, the breakthrough came from a dream and vision, of all places (a story for later).

Two Schools of Thought

At any rate, beginning our perfect skirting quest the manufactured home industry basically had two schools of thought. One was cheap or inexpensive and the other was quality, durability, and longevity.  Since both schools of thought have their places, our idea was to marry the two who gave birth to DURASKIRT™.

Certain Design Stipulations

Foremost, the panels must look great and function well for years in adverse climates. Secondly, they had to be cost-effective for meeting the manufactured home industry’s desire for affordable homes. These guiding principles set the stage for designing, testing, and building a manufacturing and molding process that meets the high standards of good looks, durability, and reasonable cost.

Note – No Outside Help

It should be noted that no government or private grants were obtained during the years of research and development processes. This isn’t because we didn’t have a need for outside capitalization, it was more because we like challenges and didn’t want to deal with the red-tape and interference from the sources of these grants. Therefore, we were able to make the product without unnecessary distractions, devoting our time to making them the best house skirting product available.

Understanding Lean

“Free” money doesn’t always make for the best environment. Rather, we wanted an unencumbered environment that was lean and challenging, similar, to the industry we were manufacturing this product to serve.

In our 20+ years of manufacturing and installing DURASKIRT™ we have gained both detractors and supporters. It has been a challenge to fight against outdated notions for acceptance of progressive products like ours, but we have sought to help the people who need skirting, not impress self-proclaimed industry “gurus”.

Many of our strongest supporters are our customers who have experienced first-hand the value of DURASKIRT™. However, it’s noteworthy that many of our current customers were once skeptics from the industry who have since been converted to strong supporters. Especially when they see that DURASKIRT™ is the best cold weather skirting product.

For everyone who had been asking, “why doesn’t someone make a quality, affordable, and durable skirting product for our industry?” We believe DURASKIRT™ is the long-awaited answer to their question.

We Began Selling Mobile Home Skirting Kits In 2011

DURASKIRT™ Mobile Home  Kits

Starting in 2011 with the newest molding process we began to sell mobile home skirting kits nationally. These DIY skirting kits have become more than half of our business and will continue to grow. The kits are sold to contractors and homeowners who desire a quality skirting product made of concrete.

“Does DURASKIRT™ Do What You Say It Can for Us?”

Still, consumers are right in asking “does DURASKIRT™ do what you say it can for us?”  Of course, we say “is 21+ years of quality service and real-world testing proof?”  Further, “does an engineer stamp help?” We believe the answer is, “Yes!”

If not, perhaps, our customer service will win you over. We are committed to providing you not only a great product but a great experience.

We welcome all our customers to our family. Yes, we consider you a family because families share the truth and care for one another. We are thankful for everyone that purchases DURASKIRT™. Many of our sales come by word of mouth. So, we want to back up your words when we serve your family and friends.

Thank you!

Skirting for Manufactured Homes

Concrete Board Is Exterior Use & Back-Fill Ready

What Is Cement Board and What Is It Used For?

What Is Cement Board and What Is It Used For?

Jan 11, 2023

Cement board may be a familiar product to carpenters and even some ambitious do-it-yourself homeowners, but what is it, exactly?

Is there exterior cement board verses interior cement board?

Cement board is a tough, large panel composed of cement and other fibers that comes in different sizes and thicknesses, most often ¼” or ½” thick and 3 feet by 5 feet in size. Like drywall, it is sold in sheets and can be purchased at hardware or home improvement stores.

 

Cement Board vs Drywall

Cement Board - Not A Cheap Mobile Home Skirting

Cement Board – Not A Cheap Mobile Home Skirting

Cement board has a different use than drywall, however. While drywall panels create smooth walls and ceilings and are appropriate for most rooms, cement board is best suited for bathrooms and other areas that are prone to humidity and frequent moisture.

Cement board is used as the wall-backing behind shower tile and bathroom tile. It is much tougher than drywall and can resist mold, mildew, and other moisture-related issues prone to bathrooms. It’s a better option for rooms where moisture, sitting water, and humidity are common, because cement board is heavy and tough and creates a great base for tiles.

 

Exterior Cement Board?

Some homeowners have used this product as exterior cement board for the house skirting around their mobile or manufactured home, treating it as a cheap mobile home skirting alternative.

Unfortunately, this does not work out well for them.

While cement board is good for bathrooms, it does not hold up as well outside where it is highly susceptible to weathering and a lot more moisture. When used on a home’s exterior as house skirting, cement board often doesn’t last long. The nylon component on the cement board begins to deteriorate and then the cement itself begins to crumble. This causes holes in the house skirting.

 

Cement Board Should Be Used Inside

It is best to use cement board with indoor locations like bathrooms where it is used as a backing for tile and helps prevent mold and other common moisture problems. However, if you are looking for skirting for your home, there are other options for house skirting for homeowners of mobile or manufactured homes.

DURASKIRT™ offers a house skirting product similar to cement board but it is thicker, tougher, and designed to be used outdoors. It won’t crumble or fall apart and will holds up to weathering and outdoor elements. If you are searching for a cheap mobile home skirting option that will last, get in touch with us at (360) 419-9909. We can help answer any questions you might have and share more information about our house skirting product: a durable, efficient option that does a great job.

Prayer And Declaration For New Year 2023 – Year of Abundance

8 And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. 9 As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.” 10 For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. 11 Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.

2 Corinthians 9:8-11.

Everlasting Father, you will generously provide for us everything we need, as we enter into the year 2023. And we will have many leftovers of blessings to share with those in need. We shall not suffer any loss or lack any good thing. We commit our resources to you and ask that you will increase them and make us fruitful in every way in the year 2023. Your word says that you will supply all our needs in the year 2023, according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Therefore, I thank you, Father, because this word will be fulfilled in our lives in 2023, in the name of Jesus.
