Damp Proof Course (DPC) - Hydrokote Highlights

  • Moisture Barrier: A Damp Proof Course (DPC) is a barrier within a masonry structure designed to prevent moisture from rising through the walls. It is typically made from materials like bitumen, plastic, or slate.
  • Prevents Rising Damp: DPCs are crucial for preventing rising damp, a common issue in buildings where groundwater is drawn up through porous building materials. This can lead to structural damage and unhealthy living conditions.
  • Material Durability: DPC materials are chosen for their resistance to water penetration and their ability to withstand the alkaline conditions found in mortar and brickwork. They are designed for long-term effectiveness.
  • Installation Requirements: Proper installation involves creating a continuous barrier at the base of walls, typically above ground level. It must be correctly integrated with the building's foundation and wall construction.
  • Building Regulations: Building regulations in many regions mandate the use of DPCs to ensure structural integrity and occupant health. Compliance with these standards is essential for new builds and renovations.
