A Damp Proof Course (DPC) is a vital component in modern construction. It prevents moisture from rising through capillary action — a natural process where water travels upward through pores in masonry.
By installing DampProof Strip during wall construction, you create a long-lasting moisture barrier that:
• Prevents rising damp and mold formation.
• Protects plaster, paint, and wall finishes.
• Enhances the strength and life of masonry.
• Keeps interiors hygienic and aesthetically clean.
• Complies with standard building regulations.
Applications:
• Brick masonry walls
• Concrete block walls
• Stone walls
• Bathroom and kitchen partition walls
• Retaining walls and basements
Follow these simple 3 steps:
Identify the plinth level or ground floor
level before wall construction begins.
Place the DampProof Strip evenly
over the brick/block layer
Continue the wall construction as usual on
top of the strip, no waiting or curing
required.
No. The DampProof Strip must be installed during wall construction at the plinth or ground floor level. It cannot be added later
It stops moisture from the ground from rising into the wall, preventing dampness and damage.
Yes, it can be installed by your regular brick or block layer no special skills needed.
Absolutely. Once installed properly, it provides lifetime protection against rising dampness.
Yes, suitable for brick, block, stone, and composite wall systems.
