Application
Installation must follow normal good practice for the detailing of damp proof courses, as set out in the relevant clauses of BS 5628: Part 3: 2001 and must be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The following installation practices are essential: DPC must extend through the full thickness of the wall or wall leaf, including pointing, applied rendering or other facing material and project beyond the external face by 5mm. DPCs must be sandwiched between an even bed of wet mortar. Perforations in adjacent courses of brickwork must be completely filled with mortar. All lap joints in the DPC must have 100mm overlap and be completely sealed. Hyload preformed cloak units must be used at stop ends, and all corners and changes in level of cavity trays. When using DPC with boot lintels or similar constructions, it is recommended that the material be installed following the lintel profile.
