Skirtfast can be fitted in just a faction of the time and effort taken to build a solid wall skirting, especially if a concrete foundation would otherwise have been needed for the purpose, allowing great labour cost savings and making it most suitable for DIY installation. Any of a variety of modern fillers can be used to The panels are light to handle (approx. 12Ibs) and finish corners and joins so that they look natural. They fitting instructions are sent with each order.

 

Any of a variety of modern fillers can be used to finish corners and joins so that they have the natural look. They can be obtained in different colours and are easy to apply. Skirtfast moulds have been manufactured from genuine materials, which is why the panels are produced in actual 3D relief and are not simply an optical illusion. This property also gives the panels strength and rigidity. If required, a special additive can be included in the manufacturing process to increase fire resistance. The configuration of the panels has been designed so that they can be used as cladding, by doubling up the panels. Thus, gaps larger than 24'' can be covered if need be. Indeed, Skirtfast can be used for many different purposes other than skirtings for Park Homes, egg. covering unsightly walls or fences, improving garden sheds etc.

 

There is no need to construct an elaborate
supporting framework, since Skirtfast is rigid enough to hold itself in position when fitted. Simply fix strips of canalized timber underneath the side bearer (and another to the concrete base if oversize) and fasten the panel to it using screws, nails, staple/nail gun etc.

Sections of panel can be cut out to construct hidden inspection hatches, provide for ventilation, make holes for firework etc. Fitting can be carried out in bad weather if skirtings are urgently required, since there is no wet cement which could be washed away or damaged by frost. As a result, Park Home installations can be completed on time with greater certainty and less overall delay.
