  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...

  4000m2 of New Tiling Protected With Efflock

  The builder of a large residential apartment complex under construction in Mascot, near Sydney Airport has specified Efflock for over 4000m2 of external tiling around the complex.  Project manager, Joe Metlage of Casumo Constructions enquired about Efflock late last month. "Like many builders, we've experienced problems with Efflorescence in the past, and we are excited that Efflock will provide cost effective protection on our projects going forward" he said. Efflock provides permanent protection from efflorescence to external tiling, by simply adding 1% to the water (known as gauging water) before adding to dry ingredients. This dilution should be used for...

  North Ryde train station stairs closed due to efflorescence.

  The Epping to Chatswood railway line was opened in 2009 at a cost of $2.3 billion. It appears that only four years later, the stairs adjacent to the escalators are no-longer useable due to efflorescence, and are barricaded off.  Estimated demolition/ replacement cost of stairs: $110,000.00  Estimated cost of Efflock for the entire twin flight of 75 steps: $320.00 As you can see, Efflock provides very economical protection. The water based formula is a green choice as it is a high concentrate, meaning less plastic waste. But best of all, Efflock ensures the intended service life of carbon hungry building...
