  How to remove efflorescence

  Efflorescence is very simply caused by the action of water entering masonry. That water then dissolves inherent salts, the most abundant of those salts is usually what's known as 'free lime' which is left surplus from the matrix of the concrete. Removing efflorescence is difficult and labour intensive, and requires acid based remover. Many products attempt to mask the word 'acid' with "water based" and other jargon, and will often mask any unpleasant odour with a nice scent such as lemon.

  DesignEx Sydney - Tile and Stone Seminar

  Last week saw DesignEx at the Sydney Exhibition Centre - not the bulldozed one, but the temporary building at Glebe Island. Within DesignEx was the tile and stone seminar, where there were 3 days of many different speakers. Each were experts in different facets of the tile and stone industry. All of the topics were incredibly interesting, from the scientific structure of bluestone (basalt), to the evolution and latest trends in tiling and installation. Efflorescence was a hot topic touched on by almost every speaker, but there is also a new problem emerging known as latex leaching, introduced to us...

  'The Post' Apartments in Maroubra Commence Construction

  Galand Constructions have commenced their new and exciting project, 'The Post'. This new multi storey apartment block will occupy the former site of the Maroubra Post Office which is now located in Pacific Square (a modern shopping centre across the road which incidentally, has a bit of an efflorescence problem). Galand Constructions are quality builders, and as such, were one of the very first builders to use and continue to use Efflock on their projects, since it was launched 12 months ago. They have an impressive portfolio of high-end architect designed homes, and will be applying the same high standards...
