Aluminium Dampcourse
1 product
Moisture is the enemy of any masonry structure, and a high-quality dampcourse is your first line of defence. At Vincent Buda and Company, we provide premium Aluminium Dampcourse (often referred to as Alcor), which features a lead-free aluminium core coated in bitumen. This combination provides a flexible but virtually impenetrable barrier against rising damp and moisture ingress. Our aluminium dampcourse is fully compliant with AS2904, ensuring it meets the rigorous standards required for Australian residential and commercial builds. Unlike inferior plastics, aluminium flashing provides superior puncture resistance and long-term durability. Since 1957, we have been the primary supplier for builders who refuse to compromise on moisture protection. Every roll is in stock and ready for same-day or next-day delivery.
