RDL - Pond Liners
Pond liners are an important feature of ponds, lakes and reservoirs offering guaranteed water containment properties. Russetts Developments Ltd (RDL) fabricate all EPDM and Butyl rubber pond liners at our warehouse in Milton Keynes. Sheet rubber is imported from Sweden and cut to required lengths before vulcanising together to form the finished pond liner. Our experienced factory operatives ensure quality is maintained as the highest priority ensuring customer satisfaction throughout the product range.
RDL supply pond liners to Aquatic Traders all over the UK. These are supplied in the form of pre-packed pond liners and 30.5m(100ft) long rolls of varying widths allowing the Traders to cut to their customer’s specific pond liner dimensions.
The use of RDL pond liners to create a garden pond feature is probably the easiest, quickest and most cost effective way to achieve a stunning water feature in your garden.
The flexibility of a RDL pond liner allows you the freedom to design a pond that suits your individual requirements without the restrictions imposed when purchasing a preformed pool. Just dig your pond the shape you require and contact your nearest Aquatic Trader who will advise you on the best size and material for your pond. All RDL pond liners come with a long term warranty for added peace of mind.
A very popular Liner as a starter range. This material is suitable for small ornamental ponds. It is very flexible and pliable making it easy to disguise creases. Not ideal for larger installations due to its thickness. Available in pre-packs of pond liner and liner rolls which come with a lifetime guarantee up to 60sqm and 20 years on larger liners.
Butyl rubber has been a very popular pond liner over the last 30 years due to its long life characteristics, flexibility and its ability to accommodate ground movement. However Butyl rubber has recently substantially increased in price and for this reason we no longer supply Butyl rubber as pond lining membrane. Butyl rubber has been replaced as our main pond lining membrane with Epalyn EP rubber (see below) which has a very similar technical specification and even shows some superior properties. Butyl rubber is still available for bespoke projects and Tailored liners and prices are given on request.
We import EPDM rubber uncut sheet rolls of 0.75mm, 0.85mm and 1.0mm thicknesses, direct from SealEco International (HQ) based in Varnamo Sweden. This product is also known under its trade name of Elastoseal. We have chosen to name the SealEco EPDM rubber, fabricated into various sized pond liners, “Epalyn EP” to distinguish the product from other suppliers of the product.
Although slightly more flexible than Butyl, Epalyn EP rubber is similar in appearance and has some superior physical properties, such as tear and tensile strength. EPDM rubber pond liners are very popular in the UK, however some EPDM rubbers cannot be vulcanised together and can only be joined with tape and adhesive glues and are not very pliable. Epalyn EP rubber can be vulcanised into most shapes and sizes providing a secure watertight joint between sheets.
RDL’s Epalyn EP rubber is supplied with a lifetime guarantee on pond liners up to 100m2 and 25 years for larger sheets. Most importantly the quality of RDL’s Epalyn EP rubber is not reflected in the price and is available in pre-packs and rolls. RDL’s Epalyn EP is the perfect liner to use in all types of demanding waterproofing applications as well as the humble garden pond.
We offer a variety of geotextile protective underlays to provide a high level of protection to your pond or lake liner in a convenient and cost effective way. Pond liner protection is often carried out with the use of old carpets, cardboard, newspapers and other materials that are not specifically designed for the purpose. It is very important that a protective underlay maintains its condition for the same length of time as the pond liner. Old carpet, cardboard and other make shift products will rot, leaving the protection useless and your pond liner vulnerable to damage long before the end of its guarantee.
TenCate Polyfelt products TS60, TS50 or Cosmotec LPP250M are supplied in addition to a range of specialised geotextile protective underlay membranes for specific jobs as required.
The geotextile protective underlay required is dependent on the substrate beneath or on top of the liner, the size of the liner and of course the thickness of the lining material used. RDL geotextile protective underlay is available on 2.0m wide rolls of protective underlay in varying lengths. Short lengths can be cut ‘off the roll’ and pre-packs are also available. RDL also offers ‘one piece’ factory stitched geotextile sections for larger or uniquely shaped applications.
