Damp Proof Course (DPC) - 6 Inch Highlights

  • Moisture Barrier Function: A Damp Proof Course (DPC) is a crucial barrier installed in masonry to prevent rising damp. It works by stopping moisture from the ground from travelling up through walls.
  • Material Properties: DPC materials are designed to be impermeable to water. Common types include bitumen felt, plastic, and slate, chosen for their durability and resistance to ground salts.
  • Installation Location: DPC is typically laid horizontally within the mortar course of a wall, usually at or just above ground level. It must be continuous to be effective.
  • Building Regulations: The use and specification of DPC are often governed by building regulations to ensure effective damp prevention. Correct installation is vital for compliance.
  • Durability and Longevity: When installed correctly, a DPC provides a long-lasting solution against rising damp. Its effectiveness can last for the lifetime of the building.
