Browse Forums Paving & Concreting 1 Jul 10, 2013 11:58 am Hi All, Have had conflicting advice and was wondering if anyone had definitive knowledge of how close I can pave to the homeguard DPC installed on my slab...is it 75mm? or can it be less than this... any help appreciated thanks Scooter Re: How close can I pave to Homeguard DPC 2Jul 10, 2013 6:10 pm I would say 75mm is the minimum. 150mm is better as it also helps protect against damp getting into the slab.

Re: How close can I pave to Homeguard DPC 3Jul 11, 2013 10:31 am thanks bashworth, the advice I'd been given was that it could be less than 75mm undercover (we have a verandah area that the paving is going against. The Homeguard DPC is on top of the exposed slab and really wanted to avoid a step down from the external doors if I could. Paver said they would waterproof the slab where the paving went against the house, so wanted to clarify how close they could go to the DPC). I'd read somewhere it was 50mm if undercover but wanted some confirmation...or not!
