High-quality polythene sheets specifically designed for Damp Proof Course (DPC) applications in construction and agriculture. Protect your structures from moisture and enhance durability.
Polythene Sheets For DPC
Agricart offers premium polythene sheets engineered for effective Damp Proof Course (DPC) applications. These robust and impermeable sheets act as a barrier against rising damp, protecting foundations, walls, and agricultural structures from moisture ingress. Made from durable polyethylene, our DPC sheets are resistant to punctures, tears, and chemical degradation, ensuring long-lasting performance. Ideal for both residential and commercial construction, as well as various agricultural uses such as lining ponds, covering silage, or creating temporary shelters. Available in various thicknesses and roll sizes to suit your specific project requirements.
For DPC applications, lay the polythene sheet horizontally along the mortar bed of the foundation or wall, ensuring a continuous barrier. Overlap joints by at least 150mm and seal with appropriate tape. For agricultural use, spread evenly over the desired area, securing edges to prevent displacement. Always ensure the surface is clean and free of sharp objects before laying.
Consider the required thickness (gauge) based on the application; thicker sheets offer greater durability. Measure the area accurately to determine the necessary roll length and width. Check for UV resistance if the sheet will be exposed to sunlight for extended periods. Agricart offers various options to meet diverse project needs. Consult our experts for personalized recommendations.

- What is DPC and why is polythene used for it?
- DPC stands for Damp Proof Course, a barrier installed in walls and foundations to prevent moisture from rising through the structure. Polythene sheets are used due to their impermeability, durability, and cost-effectiveness in blocking water.
- What thickness of polythene sheet is recommended for DPC?
- The recommended thickness (gauge) depends on the specific application and local building codes. Generally, thicker sheets (e.g., 1000 gauge or 250 microns) offer better protection and durability for DPC applications.
- Can these polythene sheets be used for agricultural purposes?
- Yes, our durable polythene sheets are highly versatile and can be used for various agricultural applications such as silage covers, greenhouse linings, mulching, and temporary shelters.
- How do I ensure a proper seal for DPC applications?
- To ensure a proper seal, overlap the polythene sheets by at least 150mm at joints and seal them securely with a suitable DPC tape. Ensure the sheet is laid on a clean, level surface.
