Skirting

Mobile home skirting panels are a material, often vinyl or metal, that is installed along the outer perimeter of a manufactured home. It is placed at the bottom of the home and runs to the ground to hide the underbelly of the structure. Not only does it act as a great curb appeal boost, but mobile home skirting is also beneficial. It ensures that pests and debris can not enter the home by creating a barrier between the outside and the easily accessible underbelly of the home. The skirting also protects everything that is found under the home, including the plumbing and electrical systems, from weather damage. Mobile home skirting is required by building codes and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In order to be compliant and to keep your home safe, we recommend purchasing mobile home skirting panels from American Supply.

Benefits of Adding Skirting to Your Mobile Home

Adding mobile home skirting panels to your home comes with many advantages and benefits, including:

• Protection- Mobile home skirting acts as a window or door to the underbelly of your home by keeping pests and debris from entering. You are also creating a barrier of protection for your plumbing so it does not experience damage during harsh weather conditions. It is especially useful for preventing pipes from freezing during the winter months. Skirting also ensures that the electrical components that are found under your home are not exposed to water, causing shortages and other issues. Without mobile home skirting panels, your home would be exposed to danger.
• Support and Stability- Mobile home skirting is installed into the ground, which helps to keep the home stable. The ground underneath the home may shift or move over time, and the skirting helps to prevent the home from moving. It also creates a barrier between the mobile home and the ground to stop wind from going under the home and possibly flipping it. 

Mobile home skirting panels are required by the HUD to keep a manufactured home stable and safe. They also ensure that the underbelly of the mobile home is protected from the elements to keep the home running smoothly. The skirting that we carry at American Supply comes in a variety of materials and styles to match the look of your home.
