  Mould in shower grout

  Hate cleaning? Using Efflock in tile grout is an easy way to reduce mould.  Modern cement based tile grouts claim to have mould inhibitors in their formula, but still remain porous, failing to prevent ingrained mould for very long. Efflock however, can make a dramatic difference.  We made two test blobs of grout about 20mm thick. One was a control sample with plain water, and the other used 1 part Efflock to 100 parts water. Once the grout had cured and dried out, we submerged the grout samples into a 10 litre bucket of water. Both were broken in half using a...

  Trapping moisture with a secondary membrane

  The popular approach to controlling efflorescence on tiled balconies, is to provide a secondary membrane directly beneath the tiles.

Firstly, efflorescence is also known to release from tile adhesive and grout, which are both located above the membrane.

  Save building costs with Efflock

  Secondary membranes to control efflorescence are no longer necessary! Efflock is added to concrete mixes such as tile beds and grout to make them water resistant throughout the entire material.
