Below are the most commonly widely used types of skirtings

Metal Mobile Home Skirting

Metal is readily available, and most people prefer using it for skirting their home since its sturdy. It’s also fairly affordable, and installation is simpler when compared to wood and Vinyl.

Metal also provides different skirting styles such as a ribbed panel. One can place the panels underneath and paint it with their favorite colors.

The fact that it’s strong means it can withstand the effects of wind or water. If you’d prefer a shiny appeal, you can choose corrugated panels which were popular back in the day.

Ribbed metal panels are available in different colors, and some suppliers usually have a warranty in case of color fade. However, if one wishes for extra strength, they can choose thick panels.

Insulated Mobile Home Skirting | Plywood Skirting

Plywood skirting involves creating a panel underneath the home. Once you’ve gathered the materials, you’ll need to attach wooden screws to the plank while leaving an overhang beneath. This overhang secures the skirting since it’ll wrap above it.

You’ll need a panel where they can do plumbing works, repairs, and maintenance. The panel will be an ideal storage space for small tools.

The main disadvantage of wood skirting is that its wood is prone to rotting and decay when exposed to water. However, one can use a water resistance material underneath the plywood to protect from exposure to water or moisture and enhance durability.

Vinyl Skirting For Mobile Homes

Vinyl skirting is popular among homeowners since it’s cheap, affordable, and fixing is bliss. It accentuates the appearance of one’s home, and it’s a beautiful addition that blends with one’s style. When installing, you can start by cutting the bottom of the panels and aligning to the ground using a power saw.

That said, it has its downside and previous users have complained of flimsiness, therefore, may not withstand strong winds, running water and storms. Also, when weeding, the strings may damage the skirting rendering worthless.

Maintaining the beauty of one’s Vinyl skirting requires regular cleaning with a mild detergent and water. Painting is not ideal, and it’s important to keep grass and other vegetation away by regularly weeding.

Mobile Home Rock Skirting|Faux Rock

Faux rock skirting is popular since it’s a bit sturdy and will hold well even where there’s vegetation. They are therefore not easily damaged by weed, unlike the vinyl skirting.

Faux rocks are made of a lightweight polyurethane material, and from a distance, one may mistake it for a rock. However, if one wants a real rock, it will cost them more. For a more classic appeal, you can use faux rocks that look like bricks.

The advantage of the rock is that it takes care of one’s home and blocks the effects of adverse weather such as rainwater, snow, and cold.

Although the polyurethane faux panels are pricey, they are beautiful. However, one can create frames to make them secure. Nonetheless, you may also need to back the faux rocks with plywood and caulk for more support.

Also, there is a wide variety of them, and one can choose the best color that blends with their home decor. When it comes to cost, they are pricy, unlike Vinyl; however, stone panels cost even more. Real stones are strong and may not be affected by strong winds.

While some resin and vinyl skirting options can look like blocks or bricks, you can skirt your home with real cinder blocks or bricks. If you choose this skirting, it doesn’t mean that your mobile home now has a permanent foundation, but it can add some style to your exterior and give it the appearance of being on a permanent foundation.
