Excellent thermal properties

Integral DPC

Application:

ARC Rockfibre Insulated DPC is a fire rated 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 rockfibre 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. It must be installed with a minimum of 5mm compression to achieve 2 hrs fire integrity, or a minimum of 15mm compression to achieve 4 hrs fire integrity. The person installing the Rockfibre Insulated DPC should first familiarise themselves with the datasheet, ensuring the correct product is being fitted into the cavity.

All performance claims made are evidenced in the IFC certification IFCC 1730.

Installation instructions

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 penetration. When joining it is recommended to lap the DPC by at least 100mm and to ensure the insulation is tightly butted with no breaks.
