Vinyl Skirting
Every mobile home should have skirting, no exceptions (unless the home is blocked). Without skirting, there is no barrier between the elements and the under belly of your home! You want as many barriers between you and the cold as possible (think of 'bundling up' for the snow).
In the context of weatherization, skirting is a MAJOR part of your homes insulation. Even a few missing panels can compromise the whole effect. However, skirting is often overlooked, or when damaged, ignored.
Unfortunately, this is the case with most home with vinyl skirting (including the author). The following are often causes for concern with your skirting: Weed eaters, your child's toy truck, stray animals, and wind.
Scenarios:
My skirting has small holes in a few panels:
Try our Vinyl Skirting Repair Kits. These kits are GREAT to replace small holes, and go a long way!
Unfortunately, they only come in the color white. Past that, we haven't heard a single complaint.
I am missing a few panels or side of my home:
We sell pre-cut vinyl skirting. We just need to know the average height of the panels, and the length you want to replace. This option is actually cheaper than you think. Let us say you have a 4 feet section of skirting missing, and the average height is ~36". You would only need one full panel of skirting. A whole $9.12 expenditure. That is right, you can patch your skirting for the cost of lunch.
I need to re-skirt my entire home:
It happens. Years of passive-aggressive weed-eating, storms, high-winds. We sell mobile home skirting kits. Check out our skirting calculator. Just input the l x w x h of your home home!
