Looking for the manufactured home of your dreams?

So when you're looking for the home of your dreams -- from Skyline or another manufacturer -- it pays to look for the UL mark, because UL is the unbiased, nonprofit organization that literally wrote the book on product safety and reliability.

What is the UL mark?
The UL mark belongs exclusively to Underwriters Laboratories Inc., the world's most respected organization created to test materials and products for safety and reliability. The UL mark does not go on a product or material unless it meets UL standards.

Why does Skyline use UL?
Skyline and UL have the same philosophy. They believe customers have a right to expect products that are safe and reliable. So since 1972, Skyline has relied on UL to provide independent, third-party testing and inspection. Skyline takes pride in the fact that every home it builds carries the UL mark.

How do Skyline-built homes earn the UL mark?
The process begins on the drawing board. UL engineers check every detail of the plans for every home. Only plans that pass this tough UL review are used by Skyline.

To make sure each plan is followed to the last detail, UL specialists perform inspections in Skyline's production facilities. In fact, UL inspects each home at some point during construction.

Finally, Skyline relies on the UL mark when it selects components. Appliances, roof trusses, electrical equipment, and other components of a Skyline home are UL listed. This assures safe and reliable service for home buyers.

What does UL look for in a home?
UL looks at every system that's vital to the home's performance.

Some examples:

Plumbing

Drain lines must use approved materials installed according to approved methods. Supply lines must resist corrosion and be sized for ample flow. Water heaters must have fully-automatic, combined temperature and pressure-relief valves.
