DURASKIRT™, DURASHEDSKIRT™ & SDG™ products all are made with PENETRON™ waterproofing additive. Permit me to say, “this is an enormous upgrade.”
The thickness of concrete does not matter if it is treated fully with PENETRON™.
Although, PENETRON™ was developed primarily for commercial applications, we believe it makes our products more desirable. In fact, you will agree DURASKIRT™, DURASHEDSKIRT™ and SDG™ products are greatly improved by its advantages.
Why Buy Concrete Products Like DURASKIRT™, DURASHEDSKIRT™ & SDG™?
DURASKIRT™, DURASHEDSKIRT™ & SDG™ Made With PENETRON™
Because you’re looking to prolong the service life of your building or home. DURASKIRT™, DURASHEDSKIRT™ & SDG treated with PENETRON™ ADMIX-treated concrete eliminates further maintenance and repair costs, saving you money. Moreover, it will outlive untreated concrete by 60 years or more.
So, What Are The PENETRON™ Advantages?
PENETRON™ is a crystalline technology that enhances the overall performance and lifespan of concrete. Indeed, its primary intention is to waterproof concrete. Even so, the benefits keep adding up:
Resists high hydrostatic pressure
Provides self-healing capabilities for cracks up to 0.5 mm
Enhances the compressive strength of concrete
Non-toxic and contains no VOCs (NSF 61-certified for potable water applications)
Resists chemical attacks (pH3–11)
Significantly reduces chloride penetration and carbonation
Effectively counters alkali silica reaction (ASR)
Prevents corrosion of reinforcement steel
Not a vapor barrier; allows concrete to breathe
Protects against sulfate attack
Exceeds requirements of ASTM C494-S (Specific Performance Admixtures)
Provides a fully waterproof and permanently dry concrete structure
Preventing Water Permeability
A key characteristic influencing concrete durability is permeability by water, carbon dioxide, chloride, sulfates and other potentially harmful substances. PENETRON™ ADMIX enhances concrete by increasing durability, reducing the ingress of harmful substances, and by improving many aspects of concrete performance by the following benefits:
More Notable Benefits:
Increases durability and lifespan of concrete by 60 years or more (the PENETRON™ ADMIX-treated concrete added up to 60 years or more to the service life of conventional concrete before the onset of corrosion)
Increases durability and lifespan of concrete by 60 years or more
Increases compressive strength by 13%
Concrete self-heals new cracks (PENETRON™ ADMIX is a hydrophilic product that reacts with moisture and concrete minerals to form crystals in cracks and voids. This gives concrete a permanent self-healing capability. Whenever new moisture enters, PENETRON™ ADMIX develops new crystal formations that seal newly formed micro-cracks).
Acid Resistance (When under acid attack, some projects face potential dissolution of the concrete matrix and a subsequent loss of structural integrity. PENETRON™ ADMIX offers protection against chemical attack (pH 3-11) and is the preferred and widely used solution for wastewater treatment plants).
In cold climates, freeze-thaw cycles are a major factor in the deterioration of exposed concrete structures (bridges, roads, etc.). Water inside the concrete expands when it freezes, causing internal pressure; this leads to cracking, and the following thaw allows water to penetrate deeper into the newly formed cracks, then expanding again and causing further damage as the cycle repeats itself. Tests of PENETRON™ ADMIX-treated concrete show a 90% reduction in length changes due to freeze-thaw cycles
Increases compressive strength by 13%
Eliminates the need for any surface-applied protection systems
Corrosion resistant. Corrosion is an electrochemical process that occurs with a difference in electrical potential of steel and the surrounding cement matrix. Chloride-induced corrosion of steel is one of the most important aspects of concrete durability. Concrete dosed with PENETRON™ ADMIX ensures huge reductions in rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT) values (as per ASTM C-1202 and AASHTO T-277 tests) by reducing chloride ion permeability.
Saves money—a lifetime concrete product
“Green” product that contributes points to LEED projects
It provides self-healing of cracks (up to 0.5 mm) over the service life of product.
Improves permeability: While an optimal W/C ratio is crucial in achieving the desired overall concrete performance, permeability is crucial for concrete durability: decreased permeability means increased durability. PENETRON™ ADMIX reduces shrinkage cracking and seals micro-cracks. It provides self-healing of cracks (up to 0.5 mm) over the service life of the structure/product. Finally, our admixture provides a 70% or more permeability reduction as per ACI guidelines for PRAH (permeability-reducing admixtures for hydrostatic conditions).
Mobile homes, also known as manufactured homes, have come a long way in terms of design, comfort, and functionality. Yet, one crucial aspect that often gets overlooked is skirting for mobile homes.
Skirting serves both practical and aesthetic purposes, contributing to the stability, appearance, and energy efficiency of these dwellings. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to upgrade your current skirting or in the process of building a new mobile home, understanding various skirting ideas is essential. In this guide, we’ll explore ten mobile home skirting ideas that can transform the look and performance of your dwelling, ensuring you’re well-equipped to make informed decisions about your home’s foundation and exterior. Let’s dive in!
1. Inspect and Repair Rim Joist Before installing skirting, it’s essential to inspect and repair the rim joist, especially in older homes. Damaged rim joists can compromise the integrity of the skirting installation.
Inspect Rim Joist: Conduct a thorough inspection of the rim joist around the entire perimeter of the home.
Check for Damage: Look for signs of damage such as rot, decay, or structural weakness in the rim joist.
Address Issues: If any damage is detected, take the necessary steps to repair the rim joist before proceeding with the skirting installation.
Ensure Structural Integrity: Repairing the rim joist ensures the structural integrity of the skirting installation and prevents potential issues in the future.
Consider Professional Help: In cases of extensive damage or structural issues, consider hiring a professional to inspect and repair the rim joist.
2. Level the Ground
Ensure that the ground around the perimeter of your home is level. This ensures that the skirting fits evenly and provides a seamless look.
Check for Consistency: Ensure that the ground level is consistent all around the home to achieve uniform skirting installation.
Assess Ground Level: Use a level or measuring tool to determine the evenness of the ground around the home’s perimeter.
Remove Uneven Areas: If any areas are uneven or sloped, consider leveling them by removing excess soil or gravel.
Use Leveling Tools: Employ tools such as shovels or a grading rake to level the ground effectively.
Adjust as Necessary: Make adjustments as needed to create a flat and even surface for the skirting to sit on.
Verify Fit: Before installing the skirting, double-check that the ground is level to ensure a proper fit and a seamless appearance.
3. Consider DURASKIRT™ for Longevity
DURASKIRT™ offers durable and long-lasting skirting options that enhance the appearance of your home while providing protection against pests and weather elements.
Durability and Longevity: DURASKIRT™ stands out for its exceptional durability and long-lasting performance. Crafted from high-quality materials, DURASKIRT™ skirting options are designed to withstand the test of time, offering reliable protection for your home’s foundation.
Enhanced Appearance: Beyond functionality, DURASKIRT™ skirting elevates the aesthetics of your home. With various styles and finishes available, you can choose a skirting option that complements your home’s exterior, enhancing its overall appearance and curb appeal.

4. Explore Different Materials
From vinyl to concrete panels, there are various materials available for mobile home skirting. Consider the durability, longevity, and aesthetic appeal of each option before making a decision.
Vinyl Skirting: Vinyl skirting is a popular choice for mobile homes due to its affordability and ease of installation. It comes in a range of colors and styles to suit different preferences. However, while vinyl skirting is relatively low-maintenance, it may not offer the same level of longevity as other materials. Vinyl is also very flammable. When the fires went through Hawaii and California, the fire quickly burned through vinyl and wood skirting.
Concrete Panels (e.g., DURASKIRT™): Concrete panels, such as those offered by DURASKIRT™, are renowned for their durability and longevity. These panels provide robust protection for the underfloor area of your mobile home, shielding it from pests, weather elements, and wear and tear. It also does not burn. Additionally, concrete skirting panels offer a sleek and modern aesthetic that can enhance the overall appearance of your home. While initially, they may require a higher investment, their longevity and low maintenance make them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
Metal Skirting: Metal skirting is another option to consider, offering strength and durability. It can withstand harsh weather conditions and provides reliable protection for your mobile home. Metal skirting is available in various finishes, including painted or textured options, allowing you to customize the look to match your home’s exterior. However, metal skirting may be susceptible to dents and scratches over time.
Wood Skirting: Wood skirting can add a rustic charm to your mobile home, but it may require more maintenance compared to other materials. Properly treated and sealed wood skirting can offer decent durability, but it may be prone to rot, warping, and insect damage if not adequately maintained. Additionally, wood skirting may not provide as much protection against pests and weather elements as other materials. We had one homeowner who was replacing their wood skirting. Their old wood skirting had allowed water to absorb into the wood and then into the house causing about $40,000 worth of damage to their home.
Faux Stone or Brick Panels: Faux stone or brick panels offer a classic and elegant aesthetic for mobile home skirting. These panels mimic the look of natural stone or brick but are lightweight and easy to install. They provide decent durability and can withstand various weather conditions. However, faux panels may not offer the same level of protection as concrete panels and may require occasional cleaning to maintain their appearance.
When exploring different materials for mobile home skirting, it’s essential to consider factors such as durability, longevity, maintenance requirements, and aesthetic appeal. By weighing these factors carefully, you can choose the option that best suits your needs and budget, ensuring a functional and visually appealing skirting solution for your mobile home.
5. DIY vs. Professional Installation
While some homeowners opt for DIY installation, others prefer professional help. Consider your skill level, time, and budget when deciding between DIY and professional installation.
DIY Installation: Opting for a do-it-yourself (DIY) installation of mobile home skirting can be a cost-effective choice for homeowners who are handy and have the necessary tools and skills. DIY installation allows you to save on labor costs and gives you greater control over the project timeline. However, it’s essential to consider your skill level and experience with construction projects before embarking on a DIY skirting installation. While some aspects of skirting installation, such as measuring and cutting panels, may be relatively straightforward, other tasks, such as leveling the ground and ensuring proper ventilation, may require more expertise. Additionally, DIY installation may take longer to complete, especially if you encounter challenges or setbacks along the way.
Professional Installation: Hiring professionals for mobile home skirting installation can offer several advantages, particularly for homeowners who lack the necessary skills, tools, or time to tackle the project themselves. Professional installers have the expertise and experience to ensure that the skirting is installed correctly, efficiently, and according to local building codes and regulations. They can also help you navigate any challenges or complexities that may arise during the installation process, ensuring a seamless and high-quality result. While professional installation may involve additional costs compared to DIY, it can provide peace of mind knowing that the job is being handled by skilled professionals. Additionally, professional installers may offer warranties or guarantees on their work, providing added protection and assurance for homeowners.
When deciding between DIY and professional installation for mobile home skirting, consider factors such as your skill level, available time, budget, and the complexity of the project. While DIY installation can offer cost savings and a sense of accomplishment, professional installation ensures expertise, efficiency, and compliance with regulations. Ultimately, choose the option that best aligns with your preferences, resources, and priorities, ensuring a successful and satisfactory outcome for your mobile home skirting project.
6. Understand Permit Requirements
Familiarize yourself with local building codes and permit requirements for mobile home skirting installation. Compliance with regulations ensures safety and structural integrity. In fact, in the last few years, many municipalities are restricting the types of materials that can be used for mobile home underpinning to protect homeowners. Materials, especially wood, are being prohibited due to the damage they can eventually cause to the home.
In conclusion, mobile home skirting is a vital component of maintaining and enhancing the appearance, stability, and energy efficiency of your home. By exploring different ideas, materials, and installation methods, you can make informed decisions that best suit your needs and preferences. Whether opting for DIY installation or professional help, prioritize quality, durability, and compliance with regulations for successful skirting installation.For more information on mobile home skirting options, contact DURASKIRT™ at (360)419-9909.

As we explained in our last post, 2024 will be a year of expansion. Meaning, we will continue production and expansion of DURASKIRT™ underpinning/skirting and shed skirting products for residential and commercial use. Nevertheless, we began getting calls to produce a product to cover foam insulation. So, in 2024 we are introducing a new product called SDG.
What Make SDG Different?
SDG conquers the need for a factory-made product for covering foam Insulation panels with a very durable high-strength impact resistant surface. Best of all, SDG utilizes an exclusive blend of active ingredients resulting in the reduced ability of these concrete panels to conduct water flow. Besides, SDG concrete panels use higher than a seven-sack cement mixture in which anything over a six-sack concrete mixture is considered waterproof.
Thus DURASKIRT™ will continue to expand to become Industry Standard. Both in United States and Canada, DURASKIRT™ brand and SDG meet the standard for Free-Trade within US, Canada, and Mexico. For Canadian customers, there is a minimal border crossing fee. Still, the value our product brings makes it worth the extra costs.

Concrete wheel stops offer plenty of advantages for parking lots and businesses. They keep vehicles orderly, protect curbsides, signs, and property, and ensure that sidewalks stay clear for customers and visitors to pass by safely. If you are considering the advantages of concrete wheel stops – also called parking stops – for your parking lot, you may wish to learn more about them. Below are some frequently asked questions about concrete wheel stops.
How Much Do Concrete Parking Stops Weigh?
Concrete wheel stops are heavy, weighing about 200 pounds each. They need to be solid enough to do their job of stopping vehicles as well as weathering outdoor elements.
How Tall Are Concrete Parking Stops?
Concrete wheel stops are about 5 inches tall.
How to Move Concrete Parking Stops?
During a new installation, concrete stops would be delivered to the parking lot and placed with a forklift. If only one or even a few wheel stops needed to be replaced, then they would be moved by a crew by hand or with the help of a dolly.
How to Make Concrete Parking Stops?
Concrete wheel stops are made by pouring a cement mixture into a mold and letting it set to dry. Once dry, the stops can be removed from the molds and stored away until they are purchased. Current concrete wheel stops are made from concrete mixed with chemicals that allow the wheel stops to last longer and hold up better against water damage and other outdoor elements. While older concrete wheel stops are prone to cracking and exposing the metal rebar, new wheel stops hold their shape and last for years.
How Long Should Concrete Parking Stops Last?
The technology used in concrete wheel stop making has allowed wheel stops to last as long as 30 or 40 years, and possibly even longer.
Where Can I Buy Concrete Parking Stops?
DURASKIRT™ sells to a large geographical area. We have sold concrete wheel stops as far as the greater Seattle area and up to the Canadian border.
These are some basic FAQs about wheel stops, but to learn even more about them or for purchasing information, get in touch with DURASKIRT™ at (360)419-9909. We’ll be happy to help you learn more about concrete wheel stops. We also offer mobile home skirting kits for mobile and manufactured homes. Our mobile home skirting is also made of durable concrete.

Lean Production
Most noteworthy is the manufacturing processes have changed by introducing lean manufacturing techniques. These advancements ensure the panels are stronger and more durable. Additionally, these revisions help in streamlining manufacturing. With a leaner manufacturing process and control system the benefits are both better production and lower costs. Hence, DURASKIRT™ is more readily available and consistent.
A Skirting to Invest In
Trying to find manufactured home skirting prices? Are you considering all your costs? Look into the cost of DURASKIRT™.
Although they’re primarily sold for manufactured home skirting kits the concrete panels are also bought for other purposes. Today DURASKIRT™ kits are shipping to home sites throughout the United States. Moreover, the costs of these kits are very competitively priced when considering the overall costs over time. Of course, DURASKIRT™ is an investment.
Even more, two unique aspects to this system is the engineering and Hidden-Vent System. Primarily, the engineering helps homeowners get better financing rates. While the Hidden-Vent System, allows unrestricted air-flow under the home. This eliminates dead air, that normally would coagulate under the home.
Moreover, coagulating air can have a high moisture content. Truly, damp air can be detrimental to your mobile home. Moreover, damp crawlspaces push water into the insulation which in turn has adverse effects on R-Values. Finally, decreased R-values can cause heating and cooling costs to go on the rise.
Other Hidden Cost Considerations for Manufacture Home Skirting Prices
Furthermore, skirting can cause short- and long-term hidden costs. For instance, plywood or vinyl skirting can deteriorate rather quickly. Consequently, left unchecked can cause severe and costly damages to your home. More so, rodent infestation.
The results could be replacing insulation, water lines, polluted vapor barriers, and of course skirting replacement. Therefore, we recommend to choosing a skirting wisely.
Choose Your Skirting Wisely

Manufactured or mobile homes need to have their foundations certified. A foundation certificate must certify that foundations are compliant to HUD/FHA, VA, and Conventional Lending guidelines. This requires Professionally Licensed Engineers to ensure that the homes’ foundations are in compliance with HUD/FHA, VA, and Conventional Lending requirements and other national standards.
Engineers Report or Foundation Certificate
After performing an 0n-site inspection an engineer will provide you with a Foundation Certification for the Mobile Home or manufactured home. This certificate insures that the home is compliant to federal government regulations for mortgage lenders, loan officers, real estate agents, insurance agents, and homeowners. If the manufactured (mobile) home foundation is in conformance with governing HUD/FHA, VA, and Conventional Lending standards, an Engineer’s Foundation Certification is provided to ensure loan guidelines are met.
What Will The Engineers Report Have?
The engineers report will simply state if the home complies to current regulations. If the home complies the engineer will issue a certificate. If not, the engineers report will issue structural engineering suggestions for compliance. This is when you will need to hire Foundation Certificate Repair Professionals.
How The Process Works
After calling an engineering firm, they make it simple getting the engineering documents for your manufactured home loan process quickly. Using a streamlined process involving four easy steps, allowing you to confidently move forward with your home purchase. Placing your order to receiving your compliant report, you will be kept informed every step of the way.

A parking lot may seem like a simple space to maintain, but there are definitely considerations to keep in mind when you own one or are in charge of one. One important aspect is wheel stops. In order to save money, some people think,
Truthfully, no, they wouldn’t. Read on to discover the benefits and safety precautions that concrete wheel stops offer.
Concrete Parking Curbs vs Wheel Stops
A lot of the parking lots now are designed to save space. Less asphalt is poured and parking spaces can be tighter. Storefronts or businesses might just use the concrete parking curbs as the wheel stop. What happens, however, is that the curbside starts to deteriorate. People tend to park right up against something. The curb receives that wear and tear and can start to crumble and crack. For the business owner, that’s a big expense to get repaired and a lot of concrete to maintain.
Wheel stops prevent that damage and costly expense. Since they can be removed and replaced, they are easier to repair and less expensive, too.
Concrete wheel stop and mobile home underpinning companies are using a smaller design because many car designs have gotten smaller and sleeker. The bumper won’t rub right up on the wheel stop. Not only that, but technology has employed the use of chemicals in the make-up of the wheel stop that prevents cracking and breaking.
Expert Tip: Modern wheel stops can last 30 years or more, and aren’t prone to the unattractive look that older wheel stops take on.
Wheel Stops Also Help with Safety.
What is more, concrete wheel stops offer safety for your clients, customers, buildings, and overall spaces. Concrete wheel stops keep cars from parking way up on the sidewalk and prevent possible damage to signs and other items. They help keep the cars on the lot and not too close on the sidewalk, where people need to walk. If you can imagine a crowded sidewalk because the nose of a car is hanging way over the curb, wheel stops prevent that intrusion and allow for a safer passageway along sidewalks.
If you’d like to learn more about modern, concrete wheel stops, get in touch with DURASKIRT™ at (360)419-9909. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have and share more about our product. We also offer concrete mobile home underpinning and skirting solutions for manufactured homes as well.
Not all manufactured homes are created equal. A well-built manufactured home can be the great choice for you especially if you are looking for square footage with the lowest price, however, a poorly built home may end up costing you more in the end. If you’ve not looked in a while, the modern, residential-style design and construction of some of the best manufacturer home brands will surprise you. Some, when you add house skirting, are barely distinguishable from stick-built homes.
Purchasing a new mobile home requires a long process and patience to get the best options at the best price. So, don’t be in a rush. Mobile homes are very affordable and are a great option, especially, if you have limited resources, but the cheapest price isn’t always the best option and can actually be more expensive in the end.

How did we get to skirting a Silvercrest MO7? Beginning our journey in 2000 after applying for patents for aconcrete skirting product for mobile homes. Moreover, the idea was not a new one to the industry. People were pouring 2” slabs of concrete, very heavy, then tilting them into place. Obviously, people were desiring a concrete foundation look without the costs.
The Problem & Solution
An equitable method of creating these concrete skirting panels was lacking. Most certainly, this was a problem. So, we invented a solution and a company was born. Furthermore, the product was named DURASKIRT™.
Original Panels Were Heavy & Bulky – Why Silvercrest MO7?
Our solution began with constructing heavy concrete panels. Of course, although cumbersome, installing these concrete skirting panels was quick. As a result, one of the first homes getting skirting was a Silvercrest M07.
More so, the corners were numerous and finishing it the owners were pleased. Additionally, you can see from these photos DURASKIRT™ was still using the plastic vents which became obsolete in 2010. Additionally, designing the“Hidden Vent System”and implementing the cut-able filler panel into mass production.
Concrete skirting panels. Sivercrest MO7
A New Concept Was Born
When DURASKIRT began, Indeed, it was entirely different in its construction and production cycle. Obviously, the giant heavy (165 lb.) panels became obsolete to these 65 lb. panels. Especially now in 2023 that it is 68 lbs and has Geotech fabric into the bottom of the filler. What you see now is an entirely new product called DURASKIRT™ PRO & Shed Skirting.
“A scaled down version of a commercial tilt-up concrete wall.”
Soon we decided to call the fillers DURASKIRT™ Pro version. Furthermore, they were a premium version made with the newest concrete add mixtures and galvanizing wire reinforcing. In a basic sense, these panels were like constructing by exactly scaling down a tilt-up wall. Comparatively, many commercial buildings employ a tilt-up concrete panel system.
Concrete Board or Cement Boards
More so, the great thing was using these panels for replacing the original panels works. Besides, this is not the only positive outcome as marketing them for other uses is now feasible. As they became popular some people started calling them Concrete Board or Cement Boards.
Not only for skirting a Silvercrest MO7. Now, these concrete panels are finding their way as skirting on decks, park models, wainscoting on pole buildings, covering insulation on commercial structures, manufactured home skirting, shed skirting, mobile homes as mentioned before, modular trailers for offices or classrooms and more. DURASKIRT, LLC is planning more for its uses and the future will tell the story as it unfolds.

DURASKIRT™ November 06, 2022 – Price Drop Story – MAKE DURASKIRT™ INDUSTRY STANDARD!
The DURASKIRT™ price drop happened when a large developer approached me asking if we can do better with our pricing. If so, they would be awarding us with 500 plus homes over a two year period. This inspired me to test a method I have been wanting to try in production for years Making DURASKIRT™ Industry Standard. So, we tried it and it succeeded better than expected. Unfortunately the developer backed out before I had our volume pricing fully calculated thus, leaving me with hundreds of thousands in extra inventory. Therefore, I had a problem. But, a good problem, that is, for you.
We now had our hard numbers for volume pricing and plenty of product in stock. Fortunately, for our retail customers, we needed to sell off the extra inventory to pay off our suppliers. Thus, we did a huge price reduction. Personally, I would rather sell to the public a great product at a more than fair price. Besides, we have the best service in our industry and I am pretty sure we are on our way to making DURASKIRT™ Industry Standard skirting product in the United States.
Here Is What Our Advertisement Said….
11/06/2022 Note from owner/inventor about Higher Volume Price Drop:
“When I invented this American-Made skirting product the words “Industry Standard” came to mind. Thank all of my customers over the past 23 years for pushing me toward my goal. I know price has always been a factor but quality has always been number one. We’re pleased to announce with the help of our new manufacturing facility and largely to our employees we are announcing a price drop of approximately 15%. I will continue to push towards the goal of DURASKIRT™ one day being known as the “Industry Standard” product for skirting your manufactured home.”
PRICE DROP MESSAGE 1/14/2023 | HELP MAKE DURASKIRT™ INDUSTRY STANDARD!
We announced the 20% added discount late last year. The message said, “To Add: As a result of being overzealous we accidently made too much DURASKIRT™ and need your help clearing some inventory. We made too many 30″ and 37” (CMU) panels so enjoy this short time 20% off discount.” We are now sold out of this stock but we decided to keep our overzealous workers producing. As long as we keep selling kits at this rate why stop the sale? Keep buying and we will keep producing!
