ARC Insulated DPC is a thermal cavity closer designed to close the cavity around window and door reveals in conjunction with a return block, fitting between the return block and inner edge of the outer skin of brickwork. The polyethylene foam insulation will help prevent cold bridging and eliminate moisture, mould and staining from around windows and doors, while the DPC is embossed to assist mortar adhesion.
ARC Insulated DPC is easily installed as the brickwork progresses and before the window or door is fitted. The DPC should sit against the inner side of the outer brickwork to prevent moisture pentration. When joining it is recommended to lap the DPC by at least 100mm and to ensure the insulation is tightly butted with no breaks.
The polyethylene DPC used in the manufacture of ARC Insulated DPC conforms to the requirements of BS6515.
The polyethylene foam insulation used in ARC Insulated DPC has a thermal conductivity of 0.039W/mK.
ARC Insulated DPCs are supplied in branded polythene packs which offer protection during transport as well as providing ease of identification on-site.
