  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. Regardless,  an acid pH is essentially what's required to dissolve the efflorescence.  Once efflorescence is cleaned, it is most likely going to return....

  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...

  Remedial Builders are quick to embrace Efflock

  The remedial sector of the building industry is an area that appears to be growing, at least most obviously in the Sydney region.  This is probably due to the increasing number of strata title buildings requiring repairs. Many repairs such as concrete cancer are simply becoming necessary as buildings from the first wave of strata schemes during the 1960s, reach 40 and 50 years old. With housing pressures across our cities, strata schemes and high rise developments are becoming even more common with new high rises constantly springing up in our suburbs. Unfortunately, new does not mean free of defects....

  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...
