Damp Proof Course

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.
