Waterproof Garage Wall Panel Roll

Connecting HDPE Pieces

There are two ways to connect multiple pieces of HDPE together. One method is to overlap the HDPE and use our double sided seam tape to connect the two pieces. The other method is to butt the ends together and use our 17 mil single sided seam tape to create a solid connection.

Overlap Method
(for underground installations)

The overlap method is best used when connecting two pieces of HDPE in a buried application. Due to the overlap, a ridge is exposed which is not ideal when installed in exposed vertical or flat installations in high traffic areas as there is a possibility of an object catching on the ridge and pulling the two pieces apart.

In a below ground installation, the large overlap area provides a more water resistant connection as well as enhanced protection against tree and plant root intrusion.

End to End Method
(for exposed installations)

When installing HDPE on a wall, floor or anywhere that is exposed, the end to end method provides a secure connection and does not leave any ridges exposed to potential catching by a person or object.

HDPE The Ideal Solution For Protecting Garage Walls From Damage

Garages are used by homeowners to store equipment and tools for lawn work, repairs, storing barbecue equipment, and supplies for summer entertainment. As the garage is a hub for so many uses, the walls suffer a lot of damage from nicks and scrapes, and are in need of repairs. HDPE or high-density polyethylene panels offer excellent solutions for protecting the walls from unsightly damage.

In this article, you will discover the benefits of using HDPE for protecting garage walls, how to select the right panels, the correct way to install these panels, and how to maintain them.

About HDPE

High-Density Polyethylene is a tough, versatile plastic known for its strength-to-density ratio. (Strength-to-density ratio is the strength of a material divided by its density or thickness.)

HDPE is a very popular material used for many purposes due to its enduring, low maintenance, and resistance to chemicals. HDPE panels are used in various environments requiring resilient surfaces making this material an excellent choice for protecting garage walls.

Panel Installation

Good installation of flexible HDPE panels is very important for soundness and longevity. To install HDPE panels, follow these steps:

Measure And Prepare: First off, measure the dimensions of the garage so you'll know how flexible HDPE will be required. Prepare the walls by cleaning them. Make sure they are dry and free of debris and obstacles. Remove all hooks, nails, and screws that will get in the way of the installation.

Cut The Panels: If you have to cut the HDPE material to fit the walls, use a utility knife to cut the material.

Maintenance

Cleaning: Clean the panels using a soft cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and debris. If you encounter tough stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Stay away from abrasive materials or chemicals as the surfaces could be scratched or damaged.

Damage Control: From time to time, check the panels for signs of damage like scratches or cracks. Although HDPE is durable, it pays to address any issues as soon as possible to prevent possible damage.

Reapplication Of The Sealant: At some point later on, you might have to reapply the sealant around the edges and seams. Check the sealant once in awhile for wear and reapply to keep the sealant watertight.
