FAQs

What does BBA certified mean?

BBA certification (British Board of Agrément) means the product has undergone rigorous assessment, testing, and a site evaluation by an independent body, verifying its fitness for purpose and performance standards.

Can this DPC be used in all types of construction?

Yes, the Visqueen Zedex CPT is suitable for damp proof course and cavity tray applications in residential, commercial, and industrial building projects.

How do I join two pieces of the DPC together?

Ensure a minimum overlap of 150mm between pieces. All joints and laps must be securely sealed using Visqueen jointing tape or compatible jointing compounds to maintain a continuous barrier.

Is this product effective against radon gas?

Yes, the Zedex CPT formulation is gas resistant and provides protection against the penetration of radon and CO2 gases.

What are the dimensions of the roll?

The Visqueen Zedex CPT High Performance Damp Proof Course is supplied in rolls measuring 100mm wide by 20 meters long.

Does it contain any harmful substances?

No, the product contains no hazardous pitch or PVC plasticisers, making it safe and clean to handle.

How long will this damp proof course last?

The co-polymer thermoplastic (CPT) construction is designed to protect against the ingress of damp for the lifetime of the building.

Troubleshooting

Material appears stiff or difficult to work with.

Ensure the material has been stored correctly and is not exposed to extreme cold. Allow it to acclimatise to ambient site temperatures before installation for optimal flexibility.

Poor adhesion to mortar.

Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust or loose debris. Apply mortar cleanly and ensure consistent pressure during installation to achieve good adhesion.

Suspected breaches in the damp proof course.

Inspect for any visible tears, punctures, or improperly sealed joints. Repair any damage or seal any gaps using the recommended Visqueen jointing tape or compatible sealing compounds.

Gas resistance performance is compromised.

Verify that all laps, joints, and penetrations have been meticulously sealed according to manufacturer guidelines. Any unsealed gaps will negate the gas-resistant properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Visqueen Zedex CPT Damp Proof Course is supplied in rolls for easy deployment. Unroll the material and cut to the required length using a sharp knife. Install in accordance with BS 5603 and BS 743 recommendations. Ensure overlaps of at least 150mm are maintained when joining lengths and at junctions. All joints, laps, and penetrations must be securely sealed using Visqueen jointing tape or compatible jointing compounds to create a continuous barrier.

It is compatible with common building materials including concrete, brickwork, and mortar. It contains no hazardous pitch or PVC plasticisers, making it safe to handle and compatible with a range of construction environments.

Care: As a permanent building element, the Zedex CPT requires no ongoing maintenance. However, during installation, care should be taken to avoid damage from sharp objects or excessive stress. Store rolls flat and protected from extreme weather and UV light before installation.
