In the modern world, any owner is capable of creating an artificial pond at his site. Butyl rubber film or other product with suitable qualities for this comes to the rescue. However, in the first case, the starting material is most preferable, since, having excellent characteristics, it can last up to fifty years. Thanks to this choice, it is possible to equip decorative ponds, small pools and even fire ponds, which subsequently contain water without dirt and turbidity. In addition, when a butyl rubber film is used, the price of which is not so high, fish and ornamental plants are allowed. She is not afraid of the effects of the environment at various temperatures, because she is able to stretch without destruction.
A butyl rubber film is perfect if you need to create a wide
artificial pond, because this pond membrane has a fairly large size. In addition, several pieces can be interconnected using double-sided tapes and additional tools. Thus, the new
decorative pond has no size restrictions. Such a membrane is convenient for transportation, since it is wound into a roll with a width of three to fifteen meters.
Modern butyl rubber film has a very good resistance to ultraviolet and other influences, so manufacturers can safely install a twenty-year warranty on their products. Elasticity is maintained at temperatures up to -45 degrees, which allows its use in the Russian climate. It is convenient to lay the material even on small slopes and bevels, as well as in corners. There are special fasteners for connecting individual pieces and sealing problem areas.
Although the butyl rubber film for the pond is almost perfect, other products are often used.
PVC film has a wide distribution
, having a different thickness. A thin film for the pond may be the best option, but its cost is much higher. Separate the pieces with a special glue for polyvinyl chloride, they also close the torn areas. In terms of price and quality, this material has established itself as one of the most suitable for organizing water bodies. The operational period may be from 15 to 20 years.
Before the butyl rubber film and PVC products appeared, a polyethylene analogue was used for a very long time. Of course, its characteristics could not be compared with the parameters of modern materials. However, over time, the properties of polyethylene have improved significantly. A serious drawback was the relatively low strength. Therefore, during the installation process certain problems are created. Despite its low resistance to mechanical damage, polyethylene remains the most affordable from a financial point of view. Usually its service life is limited to five years.
