When moisture threatens your build, proper damp proof course & membranes aren't optional, they're essential. The absence of damp proof coursing (DPC) and damp proof membranes (DPM) can result in deterioration of walls and foundations due to excess moisture and rising damp, leading to poor insulation, slip hazards, and other issues. DIY Building Supplies stocks premium Novia damp proof course & membranes, delivering the complete moisture protection your project demands.
