IKO Hyload DPC 100mm

The IKO 100mm Hyload DPC is a well-established damp proof course membrane used across domestic housebuilding for exactly the reasons you’d hope: it does the job reliably, handles cold site conditions without going stiff, and doesn’t cost a fortune. If you’re working with brick, stone or concrete walls and need a DPC that performs as standard, this is the one most builders reach for without a second thought.

Each roll is 100mm wide and 20 metres long, which suits standard half-brick wall construction and gives you a useful run before you need to splice. The material itself remains supple even in temperatures below freezing, which matters more than people give it credit for. Traditional DPC materials can stiffen up and crack in cold weather, making cutting a pain and installation messier than it needs to be. Hyload stays workable, so you’re not fighting the material while also trying to keep mortar beds level.

Where IKO Hyload DPC Gets Used on Site

This is primarily a domestic product, suitable for buildings up to three storeys. It’s used at the base of walls to prevent ground moisture rising into the structure, and it can also be formed into a cavity tray where needed. The fact it handles both solid and cavity wall construction makes it adaptable across the kind of mixed projects most builders deal with week to week.

Cavity Tray Applications

When used as a cavity tray, Hyload can be formed to shape without cracking or tearing at the folds. It’s not a specialist cavity tray product, but for straightforward domestic applications it’s a practical and cost-effective solution that meets requirements without overcomplicating things.

The 100mm IKO Hyload DPC width is the go-to size for standard brick construction. It’s worth having a roll on site even if the DPC course is only a small part of the job — you’ll use it. Cut it with a Stanley knife, bed it in mortar, and move on. No special tools, no primers required for basic installation.
