Type DIP Vertical Damp Proof Course
Verified by manufacturer 7 months ago
Insulated vertical DPC that interfaces with cavity insulation.
Application
For use when closing cavity walls in the traditional manner.
Description
A vertical profiled damp proof course with integral expanded polystyrene insulation, introducing a thermal break within the cavity wall reveal.
Features and benefits:
- Integrated profile laps cavity insulation – overlaying inconsistent cutting/ gaps.
- A moulded angle for accurate positioning.
- Width extends into and overlays cavity insulation, eliminating any thermal spiking.
- Can be attached to rear of built-in frames.
- When not attached to frames the DPC has rigidity and is self-supporting.
- Standard size/ profile: 245 mm wide DPC profiled to produce 20 mm 90° return, 200 mm wide flat and 25 mm splayed end.
- Non-standard, purpose-made profiles are available to order.
