Butyl Rubber and Greenseal™ EPDM Lake Liner
We fabricate Butyl and Greenseal 0.75mm thick, single piece lake liners up to 1800sq.m in our factories, so for many projects joining sheets on site is not an issue. However, when larger sheets are required, or where pond profile and/or existing obstacles predict, it can be necessary to join two or more sheets in-situ.
Field seaming of multiple pond or lake liner sheets can be achieved in one of two ways depending upon the membrane materials used. Butyl and Greenseal EPDM sheets will usually be Hot Bond Welded in-situ by a trained installer using our patented Hot Bond Site Press technology. This process is similar to our in-house patented welding system and achieves a high strength, vulcanised, overlap seam that is even stronger than the base material.
Firestone PondGard™ EPDM Lake Liner
The Firestone PondGard EPDM lake lining system is based on the 1mm thick EPDM geomembrane available in a range of pre-fabricated panel sizes up to 15.24m x 30.48m (50ft x 100ft). Where required multiple panels are joined on-site using a method of manually applied self-adhesive EPDM/Butyl tape and accessories known as the QUICKSEAM™ system.
We have trained many professional landscapers and lake liner installers to use this method and can recommend an installer (or train you). Although the components needed add to the overall cost of the project, it usually works out more cost effective to field seam in this way than hiring a welding press and operator for a day.
Please refer to our seaming page for an overview of installation techniques.
