Product Description

Building regulations necessitate the incorporation of Damp Proof Courses (DPCs) in masonry wall constructions to counteract the upward capillary movement of water, commonly referred to as rising damp. DPCs serve the purpose of preventing water transfer between different parts of the structure, such as door sills and window jambs, and also act as a barrier against the downward movement of moisture. In scenarios where DPCs are integrated into masonry walls over elements like lintels and brickwork support systems, they are specifically termed as cavity trays. These trays play a crucial role in preventing water penetration across the cavity. The DPC and Cavity Tray Systems encompass a comprehensive range of specialized damp-proofing solutions tailored for various applications. These products include insulated, gas-resistant, and fire-resistant systems. The product line is complemented by essential system components, including fixings and adhesives, along with standard and project-specific preformed cloak units. This ensures that even intricate architectural details can be effectively damp-proofed.
