Butyl pond liners are made from premium, synthetic rubber pond liner
recommended by leading European water gardening experts. It
has been field tested for more than forty years in hundreds
of thousands of installations throughout the world, varying
in size from 25sq. ft garden ponds to 4,000,000sq. ft water
storage reservoirs. It is remarkably flexible and
comfortable, it is safe for all aquatic life, it withstands
exposure to artic cold and desert heat, and it will last
longer than any other flexible liner underwater and
underground.
Although Butyl pond
liners costs more than other synthetic rubbers, it has superior
performance combined with an unlimited range of sizes and
shapes which easily makes it the Pond liner of choice for
projects of any size that demand the very best Pond liner
available.
Key
features and benefits The success of Butyl Pond Liners can be attributed to their unique combination of benefits:
Formulation Butyl is fabricated from a unique Butyl
rubber formulation optimised for pond liner use. It
differs from other Butyl rubbers commonly used for
commercial waterproofing in four important ways. It is
completely safe for fish, plants and plant life, it
contains some traces of polymer for superior
durability in exposed applications, it has a talc free
surface for easy handling and attractive appearance,
and can be factory seamed with a high strength hot
bonding process.
Lifetime We guarantee our rubber Butyl pond liners for 35
years. Extensive field experience suggests that they
will last longer than forty years in severe above
ground environments, with even more life expectancy in
protected underwater and underground environments.
Other manufacturers may claim their liners can last as
long as BUTYL pond liners but none have the track record to prove
their claims.
Thickness Butyl Pond liners are available in .75mm and 1mm.
Irregular free form garden ponds, particularly those
smaller than 1,500 sq. ft, should be lined with .75mm
Butyl: no other pond liner is more subtle or elastic
and none can be installed with so few folds. Larger
projects should be lined with 1mm Butyl pond liners for enhanced
resistance to abuse since the thicker sheet offers
significantly greater strength with only a little loss
of flexibility.
Appearance The talc free process used to manufacture
Butyl gives a slightly textured surface with a flat
black colour.
Repairs & Seams Should you inadvertently damage your Butyl
Pond liner,
it can be permanently repaired with our self adhesive
tapes; stream and waterfall liners can be easily
joined to pond liners with our self adhesive seam
tapes. Although we advise against ‘field seaming’
pond liners, unless the project is too large to be
lined with a single sheet of rubber, durable seams can
be made by using a combination of seam tape and repair
tape.
