Description

Damp proof course (DPC) is a horizontal barrier in a wall designed to prevent moisture rising through the structure by capillary action. It is a critical component in building construction, commonly made of materials such as bituminous felt, plastic, slate, or metal.

Damp proof course is typically installed at a minimum of 150mm above ground level to protect the interior spaces from dampness, which can cause structural damage and mold growth.

ADVANTAGE:

  • Prevents Moisture Infiltration: Stops water from rising through walls.
  • Reduces Mold and Mildew: Keeps moisture out, preventing growth.
  • Enhances Durability: Protects walls and foundations from water damage.
  • Improves Air Quality: Reduces damp-related health risks.
  • Increases Property Value: Ensures a dry, stable structure.
  • Cost-Effective: Prevents expensive repairs and maintenance.

AREA OF APPLICATION:

  • Foundations: To prevent moisture from rising through the base of walls.
  • Walls: Embedded in masonry to block water ingress and protect the building fabric.
  • Basements: To keep groundwater from penetrating into basement walls and floors.
  • External Walls: Ensures protection against ground moisture in exterior walls.
  • Floor Slabs: Prevents moisture from affecting internal floors.
  • Extensions and Renovations: Incorporated into new and existing structures to maintain moisture control.

 


 

Damp Proof Course FAQs

A Damp Proof Course (DPC) is a barrier layer installed in walls, floors, and foundations to prevent moisture from rising through a building’s structure. It protects against water penetration, dampness, and mold growth, ensuring long-term durability and preventing structural damage.

Our high-quality DPC is ideal for: 

  • Walls & foundations – Prevents rising damp from affecting masonry structures. 
  • Basements & underground structures – Blocks groundwater seepage. 
  • Floors & roofs – Ensures waterproofing and moisture resistance. 
  • Bridges & tunnels – Protects against water damage in infrastructure projects.

Using a Damp Proof Course offers multiple advantages: 

  • Prevents rising damp & water penetration – Protects buildings from moisture damage. 
  • Enhances structural longevity – Reduces the risk of cracks, mold, and decay. 
  • Durable & weather-resistant – Withstands harsh environmental conditions. 
  • Easy to install – Lightweight and flexible for quick application.
  • Cost-effective solution – Reduces long-term maintenance and repair costs. 

A DPC is placed horizontally or vertically within a building structure, acting as a barrier to block moisture movement through capillary action. It is commonly installed above ground level in walls and floors to prevent rising damp.

At ibeam, we offer various DPC materials to suit different construction needs: 

  • Bituminous DPC – Flexible and highly waterproof. 
  • Polyethylene DPC – Lightweight and cost-effective. 
  • PVC DPC – Durable and chemical-resistant. 
  • Rubberized DPC – Provides additional flexibility and elasticity. 
  1. Clean the surface – Ensure it is free from dust and debris. 
  2. Lay the DPC layer – Position it correctly at the required level. 
  3. Ensure proper overlap – Extend the material beyond joint areas for a continuous barrier. 
  4. Secure the installation – Use mortar, adhesives, or mechanical fastening as required. 

Yes! Our DPC materials are resistant to chemicals, water, and temperature variations, making them suitable for hot and humid climates like the UAE.

Yes, it can be retrofitted into existing structures using injection DPC methods or surface-applied damp-proof coatings.
