About

  • A Geomembrane used for lining ponds (to reduce Groundwater Recharge (to preserve Water Level and/or to prevent pollutants from causing Groundwater Contamination ) )
    • If Used for Roofing:
    • Pros: cost-to-performance ratio is 4-6 times better for integrated ballasted roofing assemblies. About 2-3 more puncture-resistant than EPDM [1]. At about 1/2 the cost - so overall performance (cost and puncture) is 4x-6x
    • Cons: less flexible than EPDM for doing corners

Types of Liner

30 Mil LLDPE

  • 30 mil 18x20 with ship is $232 at about 58 cents/sf. [5]
    • Regarding size: "It would come as one piece but it may be heat welded for the width/length as I believe the max roll width is 12ft. All items are custom cut - we do not have pre-cut stock pieces of this product."
    • Possibly use tar paper as another layer of protection on top.
