  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...

  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...
