DPC Rolls

All buildings are vulnerable to rising dampness. Installation of a damp proof course DPC near ground level is the most commonly used and cost-effective method to create a physical barrier to prevent damp and moisture from rising up porous walls of a structure through capillary action.

Damp in buildings can cause serious health issues as well as structural damage, creating a range of problems including mould and rot.

A correctly installed damp proof course will keep moisture out, providing a cost-effective solution. They can be used for most built structures and brick and block work including stone, concrete, brick and block walls, in both vertical and horizontal applications. Correct installation procedures are to site the DPC 150mm above ground level on external walls.

DPC usually consists of strips of black plastic materials, available in numerous widths, which can be overlapped to achieve the required coverage. Where overlapping occurs, this should be at least 100mm to ensure the correct and durable operation of the DPC.
