DPC & DPM

Damp Proof Course and Damp Proof Membrane are all available from Building Materials Direct along with other construction membranes for use in various building applications.

Damp Proof Membrane generally comes in 25mx4m rolls and the most commonly used are the 250mu (1000gauge) and the 300mu (1200gauge) in blue and black although there are other different thicknesses manufactured so if you require something different give us a call and we endeavor to source it for you.

There are many types of DPC's in the Building Materials Direct Range from standard polythene DPC, Insulated DPC, Methane and Radon Resistant DPC through to the High Performance DPC's which give the added benefit of being tough and durable, good flexibility at low temperatures and have excellent performance under high compressive loads.

These DPC's come from top manufacturers such as Ruberoid with their Hyload DPC and Visqueen Building with their Zedex DPC, so you know when you buy From Building Materials Direct you are buying a top quality building product.

High performance DPC's are also used in the manufacture of preformed cavity trays and cloaks these are also available on request (please note drawings will be required to enable correct product to be supplied).

Vapour control barriers can be purchased from BMD and are used to omit the risk of interstitial condensation within a structure as well as improving the general air tightness of the building these Vapour Barriers restrict the passage of warm, moist air from within the building from permeating into the structure or the roof.
