Bricklaying & Repointing
Where should do I place the dpc if the wall has a brick plinth?
Anonymous user 3 March 2024 - 3.42 PM
I have a blockwork with render cavity wall which has 450mm high brick plinth, I'm not quite sure where to place the dpc, should I be placing the dpc in the brick plinth at 150mm above ground level? Or should place it in the blockwork cavity wall itself? Because the plinth is 450mm high should I place the dpc at 450mm above ground level?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Where is the level of the internal floor and is it wooden joists or concrete? This will determine where the dpc goes.
