What are the price ranges for competitors materials (PVC, EPDM, HDPE, PP, Urethanes, etc.)?
Obviously, selling prices for the above mentioned products can vary considerably, depending on quantity purchased, whether installed or not, who you are purchasing from, and so on. Generally speaking, the non-reinforced PVC is the cheapest. It is also the weakest by far, has little to no UV resistance, and like all products which are glued together, has seams prone to leaking if they are not done exactly correctly. It is also heavier (like all non-reinforced liners, which must be thicker in order to achieve any reasonable kind of strength). HDPE (30 or 40 mil) is generally the next in order of cost, usually a little less than the PPL-24. Again, even though thicker and heavier than PPL-24, it is a “bear” to work with. It comes to the jobsite on large (23 foot long) rolls weighing thousands of pounds, must be welded entirely on-site, and is less flexible than PPL-24. EPDM rubber, typically 45 mils thick, always costs more than PPL-24, and the price can vary wildly. We have seen it sold f
