What tape do I need to join DPM?
Single Sided DPM Tape is an adhesive jointing tape designed for sealing over the face of DPM joints. This must be used alongside Radbar Double Sided Tape to fully bond DPMs.
Can you join damp proof membrane?
For the best waterproof protection when making a join a double welted fold should be formed between the joining sheets. This should be formed by an overlap of 300mm from both sheets. Alternatively the 150mm overlap can be sealed with 100mm wide jointing tape….Damp Proof Membrane – DPM – 4x25m Roll.

How do you seal a damp proof membrane?
Push Plug through the Damp Proof Membrane into fixing hole until seal is compressed and the Damp Proof Membrane is fixed to the wall. 5. Use the Damp Proof Membrane Tape to seal the joints between the Damp Proof Membrane sheets to ensure the membrane is tightly sealed together.
What is DPC tape?
PITTCOURSE™ DPC Jointing Tape is a modified-acrylic double-sided self-adhesive, reinforced with a specially designed scrim for bonding of PITTCOURSE™ 100 High Performance Damp Proof Course lap joints in cold and cryogenic tank base applications.
What is damp proof course?
A damp-proof course is a barrier, usually formed by a membrane built into the walls of a property, typically 150 mm above ground level, to prevent damp rising through the walls. Historically, damp-proof courses may have been formed using bitumen, slates, lead, pitch, asphalt or low absorption bricks.
Where do you put a damp-proof membrane?
It is often used underneath a concrete floor to stop it from gaining moisture. A damp proof membrane can also be placed above the concrete in the walls in conjunction with a damp proof course (DPC).
What is the difference between DPC and DPM?
A damp-proof course (DPC)is a barrier through the structure designed to prevent moisture rising by capillary action such as through a phenomenon known as rising damp. A damp-proof membrane (DPM) is a membrane material applied to prevent moisture transmission.
Is damp proof membrane waterproof?
A damp-proof membrane is a moisture-inhibiting foil that is 100% watertight (unlike a breather membrane!). Thus damp – which exists in the surrounding air in the form of condensation – is prevented from penetrating the membrane.
Where do you put a damp proof membrane?
What tape do you use for damp proof membrane?
Single-sided Jointing Tape is a high-tack PVC tape for use sealing laps in damp proof membranes and gas membrane systems.
