  Architect's specification to include Efflock

  "In ten years we are not going to talk about sustainability anymore, because it is going to be built into the core processes of architecture.”With its growth in the architecture industry, claiming a building is sustainable will eventually be like an architect getting up in front of an audience to “proudly proclaim how his buildings did not fall down.” - Architect Robert Stern, Dean of the Yale School of Architecture**  Many builders and trades are now using Efflock, and many have suggested that we speak to architects and have Efflock included into their plans and specifications. We've taken that advice onboard and...

  The RALAN Group - New Development now using Efflock

  Builders for The RALAN Group, Steve Nolan Constructions Pty Ltd are currently constructing two multi storey developments. These projects are located at 6-8 and 10 Drovers Way, Lindfield, in Sydney. The two buildings share a total of 112 apartments, from 1 bedroom, to 3 bedroom penthouses.  Efflock is currently being used in face brickwork, both to control efflorescence and keep the mortar clean to reduce maintenance and keep the building looking good. Efflock is planned for use in any areas of the building where efflorescence is considered a risk externally, and will also be included internally in the bathrooms to...

  Save building costs with Efflock

      Secondary membranes to control efflorescence are now obsolete and no longer required. Efflock added to concrete mixes such as tile beds and grout bulk impregnates the entire material to make them water repellant . Without water able to freely penetrate these materials, efflorescence cannot occur. The labour and cost savings are a big advantage, and bad weather is less of a worry with construction times. Tiles can even be wet-bedded using the Efflock system. Efflock is also ideal to mix with tile adhesive and grout which are also known sources of efflorescence. Installing a secondary membrane over tile...
