What are the price Ranges for competitor\'s materials?
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 for as little as $.40 per SF to over $1 per SF. It is also typically glued or taped together, and weighs 3 times (!) as much as PPL-24. PP (reinforced polypropylene) is pretty much in the same price range as the EPDM, but is a much superior product. We carry 36mil, and 45mil. It is known for having the best UV resistance available, and is one of the most flexible reinforced liners. Great liner just costs more than PPL-24. Urethane is the most expensive liner we carry, and is for specialty applications like primary containment of fuel, and other applications. It sells for well over $1 per SF.
