Damp Proof Course is one meaning.
DPC is damp proof course to prevent water getting into the interior of the building. Vertical allows the water to pass up or down while horizontal allows it to pass left or right.
Meaning: Damp Proof course Bricklayers are responsible for building-in damp-proof courses and cavity trays to prevent the penetration of rainwater and ground moisture. If the installation of a damp-proof course (DPC) is not done with skill, care and attention, dampness may cause: • Timber to rot. • Plaster to deteriorate. • The effectiveness of any thermal insulation to be reduced. Repairing any damage caused by dampness can prove to be very expensive and distressing to the occupants of the building. The provision of a DPC in a building, or a free standing wall, is intended to provide a barrier to the passage of water from: • The exterior to the interior of the building. • The ground to the structure. • One part of the structure to another. This passage of water may be horizontal, upwards or downwards and, if measures to counteract it are not taken with care, dampness may result and the effectiveness of thermal insulation may be reduced.
DPC(damproof course) is an horizontal barrier in a wall designed to prevent moisture rising from the structute of the capilary action.
