Skirting Isn't Just for Looks- Here's Why It Matters

Think skirting is just for curb appeal? Think again, Learn how it protects your home from damage, pests, and weather. 

When most people think of mobile home skirting, they picture panels that simply cover up the space underneath the home. But skirting does much more than improve curb appeal - it plays a vital role in protecting your foundation, insulation, and even your energy bill.

1. Protects Your Home's Underside

Skirting acts as a barrier between your home and the outside world. It keeps out moisture, wind, debris, and even animals — all of which can cause costly damage if left unchecked.

2. Prevents Pipes from Freezing

In cold months, exposed pipes under your home are vulnerable to freezing. Skirting helps trap warmer air beneath your home, offering insulation that protects plumbing and reduces the chance of burst pipes.

3. Adds Curb Appeal

Modern skirting options are customizable and can give your home a cleaner, more finished look. Whether you choose vinyl, metal, or faux rock, skirting can boost both beauty and value.

4. Improves Energy Efficiency

Skirting reduces airflow under the home, which means your HVAC system doesn't have to work as hard to maintain a stable temperature. That leads to lower energy bills and a more comfortable home.

5. Prevents Long-Term Structural Issues

Uncontrolled moisture and pests can lead to rotting beams, insulation damage, and foundation shifting. Skirting helps prevent these issues from ever starting.
