Bond-It Damp Proof Course (DPC) Membrane 100mm X 30 Metre roll - Flexible, Durable, Safe and Clean to Handle Meets BS6515. Embossed to Assist Mortar Adhesion - Cost Effective dpc, Black, DPC100

Product Information

The polyethylene DPC used in the manufacture of ARC Insulated DPC conforms to the requirements of BS6515. The reveal should be protected throughout its width by a continuous DPC. The width of the DPC should be sufficient to be fixed to, or overlap, the frame and fully protect the reveal. For very severe exposure conditions, rebated reveal construction or a proprietary closer, suitable for the conditions, should be used. Our metalwork wall & frame ties are ideal for work on cavity walls, to hold everything securely together once your damp course is in place.

The DPC also features an embossed finish to make mortar adhesion better. How to install a DPC membraneand just to confuse matters, there are a couple of traits that can confound the hunt for the dpc.... A variation on the workaround illustrated above. On the left-hand side, a pre-cast concrete edging has been used to create the retainer and the paving is significantly higher than the dpc. A dished channel unit has been used at the base to direct any surface water to the gullies. Although a relatively narrow channel is shown here, these 'dry area' solutions can feature much wider channel, often 600mm or more, and so consideration must be given to safe-guarding the edge to prevent accidental falls. Drained channel arrangement Damp proofing membrane is sometimes called DPM for short, or DPC membrane as shorthand for 'damp proof course membrane'. A damp course is not the only method of damp proofing for the home. Our range of damp proof products also includes chimney pots, which can help to keep adverse weather from entering the property via the chimney. If renovating after a pre-existing damp problem, consider installing fresh sawn & carcassing timber to replace rotten stud work and battens.

DPC (Damp proof course) is used when a physical barrier is required to prevent moisture travelling up building walls. Most existing constructions should have a form of DPC already in situation, however this product will be required for new wall constructions to prevent an issues with rising damp.If you are looking for a premium quality, DPC to be used in your construction – this is product is perfect.

A DPC should be provided a minimum 150mm above adjoining surfaces and linked with the DPM in solid floors. The Visqueen Polyethylene Damp Proof Course is made to the minimum damp proof course standard set by the British Standard, offering you a more cost effective but still trade suitable option. Preformed stepped cavity trays should be provided above the roof surface and linked to the roof upstand or flashing to ensure any water penetrating into the cavity does not enter the enclosed area. For external walls the DPC should be applied 150mm a fresh bed of mortar, completely free of projections that may puncture the material or impede the material from lying flat. When joining two pieces of DPC they should be lapped over each other by at least 100mm.Installation should be according to the code of practice CP102:1973 and normal DPC good practice procedures set in BS 5628 should be followed.
