Description
Damp Proof Course (DPC) – 600mm Wide x 30m – Pack of 2 Rolls
Protect brickwork, blockwork and masonry against rising damp and moisture penetration with this 600mm Wide Damp Proof Course (DPC), supplied as a convenient pack of 2 x 30 metre rolls.
Designed to create an effective horizontal moisture barrier within walls and masonry construction, this durable and flexible DPC helps prevent ground moisture travelling upwards through bricks, blocks and mortar.
With its generous 600mm width, this damp proof course is ideal for wider wall details, foundations and construction applications where narrower DPC rolls do not provide sufficient coverage.
600mm Wide Damp Proof Course
A correctly installed Damp Proof Course is an important part of protecting buildings against rising moisture.
Installed within brick or block masonry, the DPC creates a continuous waterproof layer designed to interrupt the movement of moisture through porous construction materials.
For customers searching for 600mm damp proof course, wide DPC roll, 30m DPC, or damp proof course for brick and block walls, this 2-roll pack provides a practical solution for domestic and trade building projects.

Helps Prevent Rising Damp
Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground travels upwards through porous materials such as brickwork, blockwork and mortar.
Without an effective damp-proof barrier, this moisture can eventually reach internal walls and finishes.
Installing a suitable DPC within the masonry helps interrupt this upward moisture movement and creates a protective barrier against damp.
Correct installation can help reduce the risk of:
- Rising damp
- Damp patches on internal walls
- Moisture penetration
- Mould
- Mildew
- Fungal growth
- Damaged plaster
- Peeling paint and wallpaper
- Moisture-related masonry deterioration
Extra-Wide 600mm DPC
At 600mm wide, this DPC provides significantly greater coverage than standard narrow wall DPC rolls.
The increased width makes it particularly useful for:
- Wider masonry details
- Foundation walls
- Large wall sections
- Cavity details
- Wide structural junctions
- Specialist damp-proofing applications
- Construction details requiring additional membrane width
The material can also be cut where required to suit specific construction details.
Pack of 2 x 30m Rolls
Each pack contains 2 individual rolls, with each roll measuring 600mm wide x 30m long.
This provides a total of 60 linear metres of DPC across the pack.
The two-roll pack is especially useful for:
- Larger building projects
- Long wall runs
- Extensions
- Garages
- Multiple wall sections
- Trade building work
- Keeping spare DPC available on site
Buying two rolls together also helps ensure sufficient material is available for overlaps, junctions and additional detailing.
Serrated Diamond-Cut Surface
This damp proof course features a serrated diamond-cut surface on both the top and bottom.
The textured finish helps improve grip within the mortar bed and reduces the likelihood of the DPC slipping while bricks or blocks are being positioned.
This provides several practical benefits:
- Better grip within mortar
- Improved installation stability
- Reduced membrane movement
- Easier masonry positioning
- More secure wall construction
The textured surface is an important advantage compared with completely smooth plastic sheet materials.
Suitable for Brick & Block Walls
This DPC is designed for horizontal anti-damp isolation within brick and block construction.
It can be incorporated into masonry walls to create a continuous barrier against rising ground moisture.
Typical applications include:
- Brick walls
- Concrete block walls
- External walls
- Internal masonry walls
- Cavity walls
- Extensions
- Garages
- Garden buildings
- Workshops
- New-build construction
- Refurbishment projects
Durable & Flexible Construction
Damp proof course needs to be strong enough for permanent installation within masonry while remaining flexible enough to handle during construction.
This 600mm DPC is designed to provide both qualities.
Its flexible construction makes it straightforward to:
- Roll out
- Position
- Cut
- Form around corners
- Install across wall junctions
- Adapt to different construction details
while maintaining the durability required for long-term damp protection.
Alkali Resistant
Mortar and other cement-based construction materials are naturally alkaline.
Because DPC remains permanently embedded within masonry, resistance to alkalis is important for long-term durability.
This product is specified as alkali resistant, helping it remain suitable for prolonged contact with mortar and masonry materials.
Watertight at Greater Than 2kPa
This damp proof course has a specified watertightness greater than 2kPa.
When installed correctly as a continuous layer, it creates an effective barrier against moisture passing through the masonry.
Care should be taken around:
- Corners
- Joints
- Openings
- Wall junctions
- Service penetrations
- Changes in level
to avoid gaps in the damp-proofing system.
Low-Temperature Resistance to -25°C
The DPC is specified as resistant to low temperatures down to approximately -25°C.
This helps it maintain flexibility during cold-weather storage and construction conditions.
Cold-weather flexibility is particularly useful on building sites where materials may be stored outdoors before installation.
Ideal For
This 600mm Damp Proof Course is suitable for a wide variety of building applications, including:
- New-build houses
- Extensions
- Garages
- Workshops
- Garden rooms
- Outbuildings
- Brick construction
- Block construction
- Foundation details
- Property refurbishment
- Masonry repairs
- General building projects
DPC Installation
Correct installation is essential to create an effective moisture barrier.
When fitting:
- Ensure the mortar bed is level and properly prepared
- Lay the DPC flat without unnecessary creases
- Ensure the membrane covers the required wall width
- Maintain continuity around corners and junctions
- Allow suitable overlaps where separate lengths meet
- Avoid puncturing or damaging the membrane
- Bed the DPC securely into the mortar
- Ensure adjoining damp-proof systems are properly connected where required
- Follow the project specification and relevant building requirements
A continuous installation is important because gaps can allow moisture to bypass the damp-proof course.
DPC vs DPM – What’s the Difference?
A Damp Proof Course (DPC) and Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) both help protect buildings against moisture, but they are normally installed in different areas.
A DPC is typically installed within walls and masonry to prevent moisture travelling vertically through brick or blockwork.
A DPM is normally supplied as a much larger sheet and installed beneath concrete floors and slabs to prevent ground moisture entering through the floor.
In many buildings, the two products are connected to create a continuous damp-proof barrier.
Connect DPC to the Floor DPM
Where a floor also incorporates a Damp Proof Membrane, the wall DPC and floor membrane may need to be correctly connected.
Maintaining continuity between the two damp-proofing systems helps prevent moisture finding a route around the protective barrier.
Always follow the relevant construction detail and building specification for the project.
Suitable for New Builds & Refurbishment
The 600mm wide DPC is suitable for both new construction and appropriate refurbishment work.
It is particularly useful when:
- Building new walls
- Constructing extensions
- Building garages
- Rebuilding damaged masonry
- Improving existing damp-proofing details
- Completing foundation work
- Carrying out general property renovation
