CAN DECKS BE INSTALLED ABOVE THE DAMP PROOF COURSE (DPC)?
The DPC is a horizontal barrier incorporated into a wall which is designed to prevent moisture rising through the structure by means of capillary action, in other words rising damp. This course must never be compromised and decking in contact with the ground should be installed under the DPC to prevent damp rising. Glossop Decking never construct decking above the DPC which is also in contact with the ground.
