Polythene DPC is a robust damp proof barrier designed to effectively prevent the rise of damp in structure walls. Manufactured from recycled LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene), this damp proof course is suitable for use within brick, stone, and concrete walls. It features an embossed surface on both sides which enhances mortar adhesion, making it ideal for applications in domestic masonry wall constructions up to two storeys.
This product is designed for both trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts, providing a reliable solution for preventing moisture passage in horizontal and vertical damp proof courses. It is easy to handle, clean, and install, while also being chemically inert and non-hazardous.
