Visqueen Polyethylene DPC
The Visqueen Polyethylene Damp Proof Course (DPC) is a black polyethylene barrier designed to prevent moisture rising through masonry walls. Manufactured to the stringent standards of BS 6515:1984, this DPC offers a cost-effective solution for various masonry applications. It is made from a minimum of 85% recycled polyethylene, ensuring both sustainability and performance.
The Visqueen Polyethylene DPC features a diamond embossed surface, which improves mortar adhesion, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the damp proof course. It is available in a range of widths to suit different construction requirements, making it versatile for use in both residential and commercial projects. However, it is important to note that while this DPC is suitable for most masonry applications, it is not recommended for use above lintels in cavity walls or as a cavity tray.
This product is particularly suitable for preventing moisture ingress in new builds and is compliant with UK building regulations. It is designed for installation on an even bed of mortar, and it must extend through the full thickness of the masonry wall. Visqueen Polyethylene DPC is a reliable choice for ensuring the long-term durability and stability of masonry structures.
