Ping Phil... DPC

[Tim Lamb]

You were kindly instructing me on the proper way to lay a dpc in brick walling.

I am now back on the job, having run out of other things to do:-)

How do you link the oversite membrane to the dpc. My concrete layers have left enough to cross the full brick width and I am wondering if that was the intention.

Oh!

The original discussion highlighted movement between courses because of inadequate adhesion at the dpc. I had planned to trim the plastic and tuck in an inch or so under a conventional dpc.

A couple of examples found by Google seem to show the membrane fully crossing the inner leaf topped by a second layer of dpc. I doubt my trowel skills could achieve that in less than an inch of mortar:-)
