Do I need to insulate my manufactured home skirting? As the cold months start to sneak up on us once more, you’re probably wondering about the different steps you can take to keep your loved ones warm this winter. The question is can your existing home insulation keep your family toasty? Or perhaps you need reinforcement like insulated skirting? Here, we will talk about the pros and cons of insulated skirting so as to enable you to decide if it is worth an investment.

Should I Insulate My Manufactured Home Skirting?

Insulated manufactured home skirting is basically one step up from your standard vinyl skirting. Hence, it is a much bigger investment. Before you decide to go ahead with your plan, consider the fact that you will need to spend more money than you generally would on regularly manufactured home skirting. However, you will definitely be getting your money’s worth. Insulated manufactured home skirting can help with the following issues that are common in manufactured homes:

  • Animals and other pests
  • Low energy efficiency
  • Cheap materials or resources that have short lifespans

If you are facing trouble with any of these issues, then switching to insulated manufactured home skirting is definitely recommended. Join us to dig deeper and discover exactly how insulated skirting can help to improve your quality of life.

Can Insulated Skirting Save on Energy Costs?

Yes. If installed properly, insulated manufactured home skirting can help to save you a lot of money. During summer and winter, if you notice that your energy costs skyrocket, then it is most likely that you have energy-efficiency issues in your home. Keeping air contained inside your home is important to ensure that your HVAC system is indeed doing its job. 

There are high chances of heat and air-conditioning getting lost from the bottom of your manufactured home. With thicker and more insulated skirting, your home will remain cool in summer and warm in winter.

Other Factors to Consider

There are several other perks that you should know about when considering switching to insulated skirting. One of them is having the ability to keep virtually any animal from under your home. It will basically be impossible for an animal to bypass the security of insulated skirting unless you were to leave a vent open. Insulated skirting is also really hard to destroy as compared to flimsy vinyl skirting. Insulated skirting has a long lifespan so you will not have to replace it as often. Insulated skirting will also prevent any holes or rips so it will last as long as your manufactured home. Even if you do need to replace it, you just need to replace the damaged panel without having to remove the entire insulated skirting.

Proper Ventilation

Proper installation of insulated skirting is important to ensure that proper ventilation can flow through your home. Without proper ventilation, mold can appear along with condensation and the skirting will eventually rot. To maintain proper ventilation, you would need at least eight vents to ensure you get to keep using your insulating skirting as long as you need it.

In summary, insulated skirting in manufactured homes is really important as it can keep animals and other pests away, improves the energy efficiency of your homes and it is strong and durable.
