Just wondering I’m using 45 x 90 blue timber framing- what is the easiest way to install the DPC

which product would you recommend?

and what size

 

the framing is inside and already erected shed

and it has already got vermon plastic  proofing

it will go near the outside the dampproofing and also have a shower installed..

Hi @alwaysLost,

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

 

If you are asking about attaching plascourse to the underside of your framing to create a barrier between the concrete slab and the timber, then I'd recommend using liquid nails.

 

This will keep the plascourse in place without using any fasteners that can rust over time. Once the bottom plate is bolted down, it will be held tight.

 

If this is not what you mean, can you please let me know so I can assist further.

hi Jacob

thank-you for answering I was thinking that but couldn’t find it anywhere  and size recommendation of  plascourse for the 45x90? Would I use the 90 mil wide or something a bit bigger?

Hi @alwaysLost,

 

If you're really precise, you could get away with the 90mm wide plascourse, but it's probably easier to just use the CAgroup 110mm x 30m x 500um Plascourse as you'll have a little bit of room for error.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.
