BadgerBadger Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Just buying DPCs for our masonry build and have found there are lots of types! Basic polyethylene DPC is comfortably the cheapest, but then there are "high-performance" or "housing grade" variants that use up some more pounds. I had assumed everyone just used basic polyethylene but the wide availability of other types in merchants have made me wonder if I've missed something. We'll be using a wide DPC to form a cavity tray, so are the high-performance ones better suited and offer more flexibility etc.? No radon requirements or anything, but happy to switch if it's the better option. Edited June 9, 2022 by BadgerBadger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Your internal dpc is better done in high load dpc Its normal to leave 200 mil hanging down to attach to your floor membrane at a later date Presuming you are having block and beam floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
