Damp Proof Membrane (DPM)

Damp Proof Membrane (DPM)

The most common causes of damp in buildings include:

  • Surface condensation
  • Rising damp
  • Penetrating damp
  • Interstitial condensation

A DPM (damp-proof membrane) is a waterproof membrane material applied to prevent the spread of moisture. It’s common for DPM flooring to be laid underneath concrete slabs, thereby preventing the concrete from attracting moisture through capillary action.

To resist degradation of the material, insulation that is placed below DPM membrane should have the lowest amount of water absorption, as well as resistance to contaminants.

A water-resistant membrane placed below concrete should have sealed joints and be laid on a material which will not cause any damage to the sheeting. If placed above concrete, it should be protected by a solid floor finish.
