Product Overview

Polyethylene Damp Proof Course (DPC) in 300mm width and 30m length - a durable domestic-grade barrier produced in the UK from high-quality reprocessed polyethylene. 

It is designed to prevent the passage of moisture through brick and blockwork in homes up to two storeys.


Installed horizontally within mortar joints, typically 150mm above ground level, it provides essential protection against rising damp. 

It can also be used vertically, giving secure damp proofing around openings, junctions, and where floor or ground levels vary externally.


The product’s distinct embossed surface enhances bonding with mortar, ensuring installation integrity and reliable long-term performance. Flexible even in cold weather, it remains workable down to –20°C, making it suitable for year-round site use.


Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management, it meets stringent UK and EU standards, including BS 6515 and CE marking to EN 14909. Its chemically inert and non-hazardous composition ensures safe, clean handling on site.


A cost-effective choice for domestic projects, this polyethylene DPC combines robust manufacture with compliance assurance, offering proven resistance to moisture ingress in masonry construction.
