Product Information A damp proof course (DPC) is a protective barrier installed in the walls of a building to prevent the rise of moisture from the ground, commonly known as rising damp. It is typically made of materials like bitumen, plastic, or metal and is placed at or near the foundation level of a building. The DPC acts as a shield, stopping water from seeping up through the walls, which can lead to damage like mold, mildew, and structural issues. This essential component ensures long-term durability and helps maintain a dry, healthy environment inside the building. It's often used in both residential and commercial construction projects.
