You do the math! Burke is so confident with the weathering performance of our Hypalon® Base pond-liner membranes we extended our 20 year pro-rated warranty to 30 years. Then we took it one step further. With the new program, you get the first 15 years with full replacement protection followed by another 15 years on a pro-rata schedule.

How does this compare with current industry warranties? Just look at the table that follows to realize the remaining value of a $150,000 geomembrane liner after 10, 15 or 20 years. For example, at 15 years, Burke Hypalon® is still warranted to it’s original value while the competitive products would have a warranty limit of $37,500.  At 20 years, others are gone and Burke still offers more than $100,000 in protection.

How can Burke stand behind 30 years in all kinds of weather? The answer is simple!  We already have 30 years behind us. The test data provided below was done on actual 30 year old samples, not laboratory simulations. It’s simple, 30 years. Period.
