To stop damp tracking from outside to the inside of the wall. Part of the brickwork you see in the video will be outside and part will be inside the new extension so the vertical DPC stops the damp tracking through.@@thecurehouse-pete-walkabout
@@simonmusticone9079 no, I need to make a video of it. I usually run it 25mm in front of the cavity insulation (50mm air gap from cavity insulation to outside block/brick so DPC should be 25mm back from outside skin of block/brick)
Thanks for doing this with no sensationalism
Thank you for sharing.
i think the ties that go into brick courses are too short to tie the walls very well I used roof straps on my extension
Definitely not too short, I have been using these for years and they are very strong - try taking a wall down that is attached to these.
The manufacturers don’t recommend you cut them, you should use the full lengths.
Is it safe if we drill in brick joint ?
It is safe 👍
AmaZing great demonstration mate
Many thanks
No vertical dpc
Why would you meed a verticle dpc when joining to an outer skin?

Have you got a detail on how to fit the vertical DPC? @@SamDaviesBuilder
