| 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 its 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. Its simple, 30 years. Period. |
