North Ryde train station stairs closed due to efflorescence.
Read more →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.

All 3 bases are covered with Efflock
Read more →The genius of Efflock is that it is compatible with all cementitious mixes, including off the shelf tile adhesives and tile grouts. On a tiled floor, this means that all 3 layers that contribute to efflorescence can be protected - tile bed, tile adhesive and tile grout. And, it couldn't be easier. Simply add 1 part Efflock to 50 parts of water to use in all of your mixes for absolute confidence. No secondary membrane required! Above: Efflorescence appearing through porous grout joints.
