A Damp Proof Course (DPC) is a protective barrier installed in building foundations and walls to prevent the upward movement of moisture through capillary action. Essential in all modern construction, DPC ensures long-term structural integrity by protecting brickwork, blockwork, and concrete from water damage, mold growth, and structural decay.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Material Options: Available in high-performance polyethylene (PE), bituminous felt, or polymeric membranes.
• Moisture Protection: Prevents rising damp from penetrating walls and flooring.
• Durability: Resistant to water, salts, and chemicals commonly found in ground moisture.
• Flexibility: Easy to cut and install in various wall and floor junctions.
• Compliance: Manufactured to meet relevant building regulations and industry standards.

Applications:

• Installed in walls, foundations, and flooring at or near ground level.
• Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial construction.
• Suitable for cavity walls, solid walls, and masonry structures.

Advantages on Site:

• Reduces risk of structural damage caused by dampness.
• Improves building lifespan and performance.
• Minimizes maintenance and repair costs over time.
