Close external cavities at party wall or party floor junctions: The ARC Party Wall DPC is specifically designed to close external cavities at party wall or party floor junctions, particularly where building regulations mandate the use of a mineral wool closer for acoustic insulation. This product is effective because it integrates a damp-proof course (DPC) with a mineral wool insulation layer, which helps to reduce sound transmission between adjoining properties. The mineral wool component provides the necessary acoustic insulation, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Additionally, the DPC layer prevents moisture ingress, protecting the building structure from potential damp issues at these critical junctions. This combination of moisture protection and acoustic performance makes the ARC Party Wall DPC a practical solution for meeting building regulations and improving the comfort and durability of shared walls and floors.

• What is ARC Party Wall DPC? - ARC Party Wall DPC is a damp proof course designed to prevent moisture from penetrating the party wall cavity. It also helps maintain the integrity of fire barriers by acting as a physical barrier against moisture and dampness
• How do you install ARC Party Wall DPC? - ARC Party Wall DPC is typically installed horizontally within the cavity of the party wall at the base level. It is positioned in such a way that it overlaps with other damp proofing materials to create a continuous barrier against moisture.
• What are the moisture resistance properties of ARC Party Wall DPC? - ARC Party Wall DPC offers excellent resistance to moisture, ensuring that it effectively blocks the passage of damp through the party wall cavity, maintaining the dryness and integrity of the wall structure.
