Why Choose DURASKIRT™ for Your Mobile Home Skirting?

When it comes to enhancing the longevity and aesthetic appeal of your mobile home, choosing the right skirting solution is crucial. DURASKIRT™ stands out as a superior choice for mobile home underpinning and skirting kits.

This blog explores the myriad reasons why DURASKIRT™ is becoming the preferred choice for mobile homeowners and industry professionals alike. Delve into statistical insights and real-world benefits that highlight DURASKIRT™’s unmatched durability, aesthetic versatility, and cost-effectiveness in transforming mobile home exteriors and protecting your home.

Durability and Resistance

DURASKIRT™ is renowned for its durability. Crafted from high-quality concrete, these skirting panels are engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions, from freezing temperatures that challenge other materials to intense heat that can warp or degrade less robust solutions. The concrete composition of DURASKIRT™ panels ensures they resist common issues like rotting, warping, and pest infiltration—common problems with wood and vinyl skirting.

Aesthetic Appeal

One of the most compelling reasons to opt for DURASKIRT™ is its aesthetic versatility. Whether your mobile home is in a rustic setting or a more urban environment, DURASKIRT™ offers a clean, site-built appearance that blends seamlessly with any landscape.

The skirting panels are designed to mimic the look of a traditional stem-wall foundation, providing a high-end look without the high-end price tag. This makes DURASKIRT™ mobile home skirting kits an excellent choice for homeowners seeking to elevate their property’s curb appeal.

Easy Installation

Ease of installation is another significant advantage of choosing DURASKIRT™. Unlike other skirting options that can be labor-intensive and require professional installation, DURASKIRT™ mobile home skirting kits come with everything needed for a straightforward, DIY installation. We also have videos to show you how to install mobile home skirting. This can save homeowners both time and money, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer a hands-on approach to home maintenance.

In fact, we have several builders who have switched to DURASKIRT™ and absolutely love it because it can be installed on a gravel bed. So, instead of needing to pour a concrete slab, which is more expensive and takes more time to cure, they can lay a gravel bed and start installing DURASKIRT™ concrete mobile home underpinning quickly.

Cost-Effectiveness

Despite its premium quality, DURASKIRT™ is designed to be cost-effective. The initial investment in these skirting panels pays off in the long run by reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance. With DURASKIRT™, you can protect your mobile home from environmental elements and pests at a fraction of the cost of other high-end skirting materials.

• Long-Term Savings: Invest in DURASKIRT™ to reduce the need for frequent replacements and maintenance, offering long-term savings over cheaper, less durable options.
• Energy Efficiency: By improving the insulation around your home’s base, DURASKIRT™ helps maintain internal temperatures, potentially lowering heating and cooling costs.
• DIY Installation: Save on professional installation fees with DURASKIRT™ mobile home skirting kits designed for easy, do-it-yourself setup.
• Durability Reduces Costs: The high-quality concrete construction of DURASKIRT™ minimizes damage from pests, weather, and decay, reducing the cost of repairs and upkeep.
• Resale Value: Enhance your mobile home’s market value with high-quality skirting that appeals to buyers and meets loan compliance requirements.

Health and Safety

Another lesser-known but equally important aspect of DURASKIRT™ is its contribution to the health and safety of your living space. By effectively sealing the crawl space under your home, DURASKIRT™ prevents moisture buildup that can lead to mold and mildew. This is crucial for maintaining good air quality inside your home and avoiding potential health risks associated with mold exposure. I can’t tell you how many stories we have heard from homeowners dealing with the cost and delays of mold removal or even health issues that they developed when using skirting that didn’t properly protect from moisture build up.

Rodent and Pest Deterrence

One of the standout features of DURASKIRT™ is its rodent barrier system. The hidden vent system incorporated into the skirting design allows for excellent air circulation while preventing rodents and other pests from entering the underfloor area.

This is really important. You don’t want animals nesting under your home. I remember talking with a crew that was replacing wood skirting and taking off insulation and while they were pulling the old insulation, a possum dropped on one of the crew members chest. He ran out of there so quickly thinking there was an animal dracula under the home! Animals getting under your home can scratch and chew through materials as well as relieve themselves under your home causing potential health and odor issues.

This unique feature provides peace of mind for homeowners, particularly in rural or wooded areas where wildlife intrusion can be a significant concern.

• Hidden Vent System: The unique “Hidden Vent” design allows for air circulation while blocking access points for rodents and other pests, ensuring your underfloor remains secure.
• Concrete Durability: Unlike wood or vinyl, the concrete material of DURASKIRT™ does not attract termites and is resistant to chewing or burrowing by rodents.
• Seal Protection: DURASKIRT™ provides a continuous, tight seal around the base of your home, leaving no gaps for pests to enter.
• Improved Home Hygiene: By preventing pest infestations, DURASKIRT™ helps maintain cleaner living conditions and reduces the risk of diseases carried by rodents.
• Long-Term Peace of Mind: Invest in a skirting solution that protects not just against the elements but also against wildlife, giving you lasting peace of mind.

Compliance and Standards

For those looking to finance or refinance their mobile home, DURASKIRT™ meets all FHA and VA loan requirements for mobile home underpinning. This compliance not only assures you of the quality and reliability of DURASKIRT™ but also facilitates smoother financial transactions when dealing with lenders who require certain standards to be met.

Additionally, many local municipalities have recently started restricting the kinds of materials that can be used for mobile home skirting due to the damage materials like wood can cause over time because of moisture and other factors. DURASKIRT™ protects against such damage.

Long-Term Investment

Choosing DURASKIRT™ is an investment in the future of your mobile home. With its robust construction, aesthetic flexibility, and protective features, DURASKIRT™ enhances not only the appearance but also the value of your property.
