9" Damp Proof Course (DPC) - Korede BuildMart Highlights

  • Moisture Barrier Function: A Damp Proof Course (DPC) is a barrier within a masonry structure designed to prevent moisture from rising through the walls. It is typically installed horizontally in the wall at or near ground level.
  • Material Properties: DPC materials are chosen for their impermeability to water and durability. Common materials include bitumen, plastic, or slate, offering resistance to ground salts and chemicals.
  • Installation Location: Proper installation involves laying the DPC continuously across the wall, overlapping at corners, to create an unbroken barrier. It should extend through the full thickness of the wall.
  • Building Regulations Compliance: Damp Proof Courses are often a requirement of building regulations to ensure structural integrity and prevent damp-related issues like rot and mould. Specific standards dictate material and installation methods.
  • Durability and Longevity: When correctly installed, a DPC provides a long-lasting solution against rising damp. Its resistance to decay and environmental factors ensures it performs its function for the lifespan of the building.
