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 your question to your satisfaction. DURASKIRT™ underwent an extensive engineering and design process before manufacturing our well-known concrete board skirting panels. This process considered various climate conditions to ensure the skirting could withstand extreme temperatures, including harsh winters.

You’ll be glad to know that we addressed this question and more during the design and manufacturing phases. As a result, our durable exterior cement board skirting was created, offering a reliable and long-lasting solution. Today, DURASKIRT™ is installed on thousands of homes across the country, delivering proven results.

The Beginning of DURASKIRT™

DURASKIRT, LLC began manufacturing and selling DURASKIRT™ in several states with some of the nation’s most severe and variable weather conditions. Naturally, we had to meet and exceed rigorous testing standards. As homeowners explored various house skirting ideas, we wanted to provide a concrete board skirting system they could trust for both durability and aesthetics.

True Quality – How Durable Is DURASKIRT™?

Without revealing all our proprietary secrets, DURASKIRT™ incorporates a high-quality concrete additive package into the panels. These concrete additives give our panels unique properties, such as resistance to cracking and chipping during freeze-thaw cycles. Additionally, they help prevent expansion or warping during drastic temperature changes.

The designers of this product have decades of experience in concrete board construction and have worked extensively with manufactured homes, modular homes, and site-work contractors. This wealth of expertise made it possible to engineer a premium exterior cement board skirting solution that meets the highest standards.

Exceptional Circumstances Lead to Innovation

An exceptional set of circumstances led to the creation of this innovative house skirting idea. Many attempts had been made by others, but they failed to develop a long-lasting, reliable product. DURASKIRT™ emerged as a breakthrough solution—a concrete board skirting system designed for durability, ease of installation, and a sleek, professional appearance.

Two Schools of Thought

When we started our quest for the perfect skirting product, the manufactured home industry had two primary schools of thought. One prioritized affordability, while the other emphasized quality, durability, and longevity. Since both perspectives have merit, our goal was to merge them—leading to the development of DURASKIRT™.

Certain Design Stipulations

From the start, we established critical design criteria:

• Aesthetic Appeal: The panels had to look great and function effectively for years in diverse climates.
• Cost-Effectiveness: The product needed to meet the affordability demands of the manufactured home industry.

These guiding principles shaped our approach to designing, testing, and manufacturing exterior cement board panels that combine high durability with an attractive finish.

No Outside Assistance – A Commitment to Quality

It’s worth noting that DURASKIRT™ was developed without any government or private grants. While we recognized the need for capital, we preferred to maintain full control of the process, avoiding red tape and external interference. This allowed us to focus entirely on creating the best concrete board skirting product available.

Lean, Efficient, and Customer-Focused

“Free” money often brings constraints, and we wanted the freedom to innovate. By maintaining a lean and focused approach, we could prioritize efficiency and quality while serving the needs of our customers.

Throughout the years, DURASKIRT™ has gained both critics and loyal supporters. Overcoming outdated industry notions has been challenging, but we remain committed to providing homeowners with a superior skirting solution. Many of our biggest advocates were once skeptics, but after seeing DURASKIRT™ in action, they became dedicated supporters.

For everyone who has asked, “Why hasn’t anyone made a durable, affordable, and high-quality skirting product for our industry?”—we believe DURASKIRT™ is the long-awaited answer.
