450mm Damp Proof Course 500mu DPC (2000 gauge) is a standard 450mm wide, 30m long damp proofing barrier that is used to prevent rising damp, moving water up a walls and associated problems.
The Damp proof course (DPC) is very important in construction because any excess of moisture entering a building can lead to more serious property problems such as timber decay or structural damages.
DPC provides damp proof protection, preventing ingress of external moisture and stopping damp rising up the walls.
This product withstands a compressive load of up to 2.5 N/mm2 as long as no lateral load is applied.
Buildings that do not have an effective damp proof course (DPC) are more prone to suffer from the wet rot and/or dry rot.
Damp Proof Course is suitable for brick, block, stone or concrete walls.
Can be used for vertical and horizontal applications.
A Damp Proof Course 500mu is produced to BS 6515:84.
Damp Proof Course (DPC) Installation:
· Installation should be according to the code of practice CP102:1973 and normal DPC good practice procedures set in BS 5628 should be followed.
· For internal walls, DPC should be installed at the base of load bearing walls and linked with any adjoining DPM.
· The DPC should be at least the width of the partition it is applied to and lapped by at least 100mm when two DPCs are joined and linked with any adjoining DPM.

INSTALLERS
No matter whether you choose a local installer or a national company, there’s a few tips to help you find the right installer for your home insulation improvements, such as asking for recommendations and making sure that they’re part of a certification scheme. This makes sure that they have the right skills and standards of workmanship to carry out the installation, and you can be sure that they know exactly what they are doing.
4 TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE BEST INSULATION INSTALLER
1. Thermal inspection picture in portfolio
It’s worth seeing a installer’s previous work. There’s no harm asking if you can see any properties nearby that they’ve installed insulation in. Best way would be to see Infrared Thermal Imaging Inspections. Thermal cameras spot small, but key changes in temperature in different areas of a house, identifying problematic areas that the human eye never could and some that a visual inspection could only hypothesize.
2. Reviews
Along with checking recommendations and previous work, finding reviews online can often be a great way to find out if they provide a good service or not. However, it’s best not to solely rely on reviews you may find or review websites, as there’s no controlling who writes them.
3. Compare prices
Comparing prices will also ensure companies can’t take advantage of you and give you a fair price.
4. Word of Mouth
The best way to find a great insulation installer is through recommendations. Make sure you ask friends and family. They will most likely give you their honest opinion and can tell you from first hand experience.
Whether you require a wall, cladding, external wall, loft or floor insulation fitted, you can find and hire your local insulation installers from popular UK web pages. A simple internet search will return thousands of potential installers near your area.
