Description
A complete and simple solution to thermal bridging where the cavity is closed. Combining advantages of expanded Polystyrene and Polyethylene DPC, DAMCOR is designed to prevent the problem of cold bridging around window and door openings in traditional cavity constructions. At these points in the structure, condensation with possible consequential staining and mould growth, can occur at the reveals due to the lack of insulation where the cavity is closed. The product is simply placed in the cavity with the DPC overlap trapped between the window/door frame and the exterior brickwork. No special fixings or installation techniques are necessary. The product can be rolled or folded. It is easily cut with a knife or trowel and can be lap-jointed with no loss of thermal efficiency. No material need ever be wasted.
Hyload Insulated DPC (previously Ruberclose) has been developed to minimise cold bridging when closing masonry cavity walls around openings. Designed to be installed as work proceeds, it is easy to handle and resilient enough to accommodate irregularities in cavity closers.
