Why Choose DURASKIRT™ Mobile Home Skirting Kits?

Why Choose DURASKIRT™ Mobile Home Skirting Kits?

May 24, 2023

 

If you’re a mobile or manufactured homeowner seeking options for mobile home skirting kits, know that DURASKIRT™ is a great choice. Many customers choose our kits, and here’s why: 

 

DURASKIRT™ mobile home skirting kits are durable, long-lasting, and doable. 

 

As one customer put it,

 

“It’s DURASKIRT™ and done.”

 

House skirting products have a tough job. 

 

They need to beat the elements, keep critters out, and uphold a home’s curb appeal. A lot of house skirting products don’t seem to last, however. In areas that receive a lot of rainfall or frequent intense weather, other products tend to last 10 to 15 years. DURASKIRT™ lasts longer. Our mobile home skirting kits have galvanized reinforcement and strong concrete that can withstand the elements and lasts.

 

DURASKIRT™ can do that job.

 

That being said, there are areas when extra precaution is needed. If the soil in your area contains high acidity, you’ll need to coat the cement to protect it better, since cement and acidity don’t get along. A layer of tar works really well for this application and will help the house skirting remain durable and long-lasting.

 

It’s not just about the product. It’s also about the service.

 

Aside from the quality of DURASKIRT™ house skirting, our company also offers excellent customer service. When a customer receives their kit, they’ll also be given

 

  • Access to instructional videos
  • Tutorials
  • Contact information to be able to speak with one of our staff

 

Even on a Saturday or Sunday, we are always available to answer questions and help customers through their house skirting project.

 

We want our customers to feel confident yet know that we are here for them when needed.

 

Having these resources make our product doable for our customers, at a time that works best for them.

 

DURASKIRT™ has been providing customers with house skirting kits for 20 years.

 

The combination of our durable, quality product and engaging customer service has earned the trust and satisfaction of many customers. We are here for you, too. If you would like to learn more about our product or to find out if DURASKIRT™ would be a good option for you, give us a call at (360)419-9909. We are available to answer any questions you might have and to help you get started on your own house skirting project.

How to Install Mobile Home Skirting When Your Lot Is Not Level

How to Install Mobile Home Skirting When Your Lot Is Not Level

Mar 22, 2023

Building skirting on your manufactured home can be a challenge. More so, if your lot is out of level. You can see from these photos we have overcome this with DURASKIRT™ CMU panels. More still, mobile and manufactured home production has come a long way – homes are straighter, constructed faster, and their price tag is still significantly cheaper than that of a stick-built home. There are many positive aspects to manufactured homes; however, no home is perfect.

Even factory-built mobile homes can have imperfections which can result in the house not being perfectly square and having the absolutely correct angles. While this may not affect the overall structure of the home, it can make installing concrete board and other mobile home skirting a bit tricky. However, we’ve got some tips about how to install mobile home skirting when your house isn’t straight that will allow you to save money, prevent frustration, and have a good looking home when you’re done.

 

4 Tips For Installing Skirting When Your Lot Is Not Level

 

  • Take Your Time – When your house isn’t straight, you’ll have to devote a bit more time and attention to the installation of the concrete board or other house skirting. You could, simply, install it quickly, following the lines of the house as best you can, but what could result is a crooked-looking DIY job. Your home’s appearance is important and this is one area that is worth taking the time to get right or every time you pull up to your home, you’ll be disappointed.

 

  • Make Sure You Have the Right Tools – Depending on the skirting you use, there will be specific tools you need for the installation. However, because you will need to make adjustments to your skirting to form it to the imperfections of your house, you will need the tools to properly measure, note imperfections, and cut or form the skirting.

 

  • Level the Ground – Check the soil, gravel, or dirt around the perimeter of the home to ensure that it’s level. You’ll want the home skirting to fit evenly all the way around the home, so make sure the earth is level, first. One way to quickly do this is to measure 31 inches on your shovel and mark it with a piece of tape. Then go around the perimeter of the home. You can easily measure and see where some soil may need to be dug away or leveled better.

 

  • Find Balance Between the Skirting and the Siding – In order to get the job done well, you will probably have to do a little work on the siding of the house just above the house skirting as well as feather in the skirting to the home to try and make it as straight as possible. Completing the job in the best way means finding a happy medium between the siding and the skirting. Using some judgement and finesse, the job can be done well. Try to split the difference and make sure your lines are straight and smooth.

 

The same principle applies when you’re considering what to put around bottom of shed buildings or other outdoor buildings that may need some house skirting. If the building isn’t quite straight or square, level the ground, work the house skirting around slowly, and make sure to use the proper tools.

House skirting is an important component for manufactured and mobile homes, but it’s also a visual component. Keeping the home’s lines as straight as possible greatly increases curb appeal and keeps your home’s appearance neat and attractive. It will be worth the extra time to complete the job well.

For more information about cement board or what to put around bottom of shed buildings or homes, get in touch with DURASKIRT™ at (360)419-9909. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you have and get you started on your house skirting project.

High-Wind or Hurricane Tie-Downs can pose a problem with skirting your manufactured home. That’s due to the extra strapping that is fastened to the front of your homes’ rim-joist or floor framing. Since, pictures are worth a thousand words we have a drawing and photos in order to aide you in understanding what you need to do. Furthermore, for those that prefer we explain step by step please follow these directions.

  1. Chose a skirting material but in this case we will be explaining the use of DURASKIRT™.
  2. After the home setup and before adding High-Wind Tie-Downs install 2″ x 2″ drip metal around the bottom of your home. (Photos shown below).
  3. Now install the High-Wind Tie-Downs, also shown in the photos, although carefully considering the tie-down materials must be set at least 2 1/2″ behind belly-band trim or backside of drip cap metal (photos below).
  4. If using drip metal the L-shaped bracket securing the tie-down to exterior rim-joist (framing) will need to be bolted through drip metal into floor framing. This is shown in detail drawing.

Now that you followed these steps begin using the DURASKIRT™ manual for a successful installation.

What is Skirting on a Manufactured Home?

What is Skirting on a Manufactured Home?

Nov 9, 2022

House skirting, also known as mobile home underpinning, is the material used to cover the bottom of a manufactured or mobile home. It extends from the bottom of the siding down to the ground or to the foundational slab.

What Does House Skirting Do?

House skirting fills the gap that is exposed around the perimeter of the home and prevents rodents from getting in and causing damage. Not only that, but house skirting gives a home a more aesthetic appeal.

Why Is House Skirting Important?

Before house skirting is added to a home, the bottom of a manufactured or mobile home is exposed and open. The underside is wrapped to prevent insulation from falling out and to help everything stay intact during transport of the home. However, this wrap is not tough enough to prevent rodents from finding their way to the underside of a home. Without house skirting, rodents enjoy a freeway of access to nesting and chewing.

Unfortunately, homes with no house skirting protection or improper house skirting are prone to damages that can quickly escalate in cost. Over time, rodents can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to a home. House skirting helps ensure that mice and rats will stay away and that the home will be much less prone to pest damage.

It Also Makes Your Home Look Good

House skirting also gives manufactured and mobile homes a more finished look, closer to that of a “stick-built” house. Adding mobile home underpinning to a mobile house can add a bit more visual appeal to the home. The skirting creates a more permanent look to a manufactured or mobile home.

All in all, house skirting is both a protective component to manufactured or mobile homes and also an aesthetic one. Most importantly, it creates a barrier for rodents and pests that would otherwise have easy access to the underside of a home, paving the way for home damage.

If you would like to learn more about house skirting, or mobile home underpinning, contact DURASKIRT™ at any time. We’ll be most happy to answer any questions you might have and share information about DURASKIRT™ house skirting. If you are interested in learning how to protect your home from rodent damage, we can help.
