  Some basic facts about everyday building materials you may not know.

  It was pointed out to me yesterday, that to date, my blogs are written in a way that assumes some prior technical knowledge about building. Considerable interest about Efflock is coming from home owners, 'Do-It-Yourselfers', or from people who are interested in including Efflock in their building project, but aren't quite sure how to recommend its use or exactly what it does to the tradesmen they are engaging. So here goes.... Firstly, many people may assume that concrete is waterproof: It makes sense right? You see concrete on bridges, footpaths, driveways and balconies everywhere, so surely water doesn't affect it?? ...

  Leaking shower prevented with Efflock

  Leaking showers remain one of the most common building defects in Austraila. This is alarming when you consider bathroom renovations generally cost at least $20,000.00. And, often it is brand new bathrooms that are leaking - a Sydney based builder who is a customer of Efflock recently mentioned having to replace a 2 year old bathroom for a client only last year. Usually a leak remains undetected until serious damage has already occurred. This can be carpets and furnishings, paintwork, plaster or render, rotting of structural timber, or even possibly termites who love nothing more than moisture, darkness and a tasty timber framed house. A common flaw: If there is...

  Efflock is a cost effective grout additive that is easy to use.

  Most tilers would agree that typical tile grout additives can make grout very sticky, with a fast drying skin that makes 'sponging off' quite challenging.  Efflock may lubricate the mix slightly, but will maintain easy workability.  The 1:100 dilution makes Efflock unrivalled value as a grout additive, with unmatched hydrophobic performance to help prevent ingrained mould.

  BAM! Harsh cleaning chemicals are gone!

  MOULD PREVENTION Mould reduction in tiled showers is one of the best selling points the next time you're tiling a new bathroom for a customer. 'Off the shelf' tile grouts with hydrophobic claims have proved porous with submersion testing. This means grout becomes saturated deep into the grout joint with mould chasing the moisture source. Mould then becomes ingrained beyond the reach of bleach or cleaning chemicals. Tile grout mixed with Efflock keeps the core of grout dry, so that only surface mould will occur, and can generally be removed using water and a few strokes of a stiff brush.  A SUSTAINABLE CHOICE Efflock is water based, maximum...
