Damp Proof Lining
Damp-proof lining is a material used in construction to keep out moisture and prevent dampness from seeping into walls and other structures. It is often applied to the exterior of buildings, but can also be used internally. The most common types of damp-proof lining are plastic sheeting, bituminous felt, masonry coatings, and proprietary liquid-applied products such as waterproof membranes.
Plastic sheeting is the most basic type of damp-proof lining. It is a cost-effective material that can be cut to size, and easily applied using adhesive or staples. Plastic sheeting is best used for short-term protection against moisture, as it will eventually degrade over time from exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors.
Damp Proof Lining works by using an impermeable membrane which is installed directly onto the surface of a wall. This membrane acts as a waterproof shield, preventing water from passing through it and into the building’s framework. Additionally, certain types of DPL can also act as thermal insulation, helping to regulate temperatures within a property without compromising its ability to block the movement of water.
