What are the dimensions of the DPC roll?

What standards does this DPC meet?

Where can the DPC be used?

Troubleshooting

Dampness appearing above the DPC.

Check for gaps or damage in the DPC. Ensure it is properly sealed and that there is no bridging of the damp course.

Ensure the embossed side of the DPC faces the mortar. Clean the DPC surface if necessary.
