StoneSkirt Frequently Asked Questions
 

  
1. Can StoneSkirt be installed on an existing home?
 Yes. StoneSkirt is not limited to new construction. StoneSkirt can be applied to both new and existing homes.
 
 2. How often do I replace StoneSkirt?
 Never. Other types of skirting may require replacement or repair after one, two, or three years. Durable and permanent, StoneSkirt is made of high density concrete, which eliminates the need for future replacement. Additionally, StoneSkirt is unaffected by weed-whackers, wind, hail, or other factors that can damage other types of plastic, vinyl, and wood skirting products.
 
 3. Do I need a mason to install my StoneSkirt perimeter foundation?
 No. StoneSkirt’s segmental concrete units assemble with patented I-Beam technology, eliminating the need for highly skilled masonry labor.
 
 4. How does StoneSkirt compare in cost with traditional masonry applications?
 The installed cost of StoneSkirt is usually much lower than the installed cost of traditional masonry. StoneSkirt is mortarless and does not require the additional time and material needed for traditional masonry. Plus, StoneSkirt can be built in any type of weather condition.
 
 5. Can StoneSkirt be installed on sloping or varied terrain?
 Yes. Varied terrain is no problem for StoneSkirt! StoneSkirt is easily "stepped" up or down to match the slope. After landscaping, StoneSkirt looks like a regular perimeter foundation.
 
 6. Can I move StoneSkirt with my manufactured home?
 Yes. StoneSkirt is easily disassembled for re-installation at your new home site.
 
 7. How long will StoneSkirt last and is it warranted?
 StoneSkirt units are made of concrete and will last as long as any quality concrete or masonry material such as concrete block, brick, etc. StoneSkirt units are manufactured under strict standards and carry a 20-year limited warranty.
 
 8. Am I able to have vents and access doors?
 StoneSkirt’s modular construction allows convenient placement of ventilation and access doors. Follow the venting requirements specified within your community and/or housing development and adhere to all state and local venting codes.
 
 9. Do I need to worry about frost heave problems with my StoneSkirt perimeter foundation system?
 No. StoneSkirt leaves a 2 inch frost heave gap between the StoneSkirt units and the bottom of the home. This allows your StoneSkirt units to move up when the frost enters the ground. The units will return to their installed position after the frost leaves the ground.
 
 10. Can I backfill soil against my StoneSkirt wall?
 Yes. You can backfill as much as 6 inches of soil against your StoneSkirt perimeter foundation wall. If you would like to backfill more, please call (877) 248-7456.
