How many types of RPE liners does Everything Ponds offer?
Everything Ponds offers two main types of RPE liners: Classic RPE and Premium RPE.
The Premium RPE liner is a North American made product that features a clear laminated coating, providing enhanced UV resistance and higher impermeability ratings. It comes in a single 30 mil thickness. For any application where the liner will be exposed to sunlight above the water level, we recommend this option. The liner carries a 20 year warranty even when exposed to UV, making it ideal for uncovered installations.
The Classic RPE liner is also North American made but does not include a laminated coating. For this reason, it should be covered from the sun above the water level. For ponds or lakes, we recommend the 30 or 40 mil versions, though we also carry 20 and 24 mil versions for lighter duty applications. These thinner options work well for temporary water containment or in situations where minimal weeping through the liner is acceptable. Weeping is essentially condensation passing through the liner.

Although not an RPE liner, we also offer the Premium Plus liner, which is made from EIA. It is more flexible and more puncture resistant than RPE. For applications that demand the highest level of flexibility and durability, this is the best liner we carry.
