  200 litres of Efflock for New Development

  One of our selected stockists, Euro Abrasives in St Peters, has supplied 200 litres of Efflock to Casumo Constructions for a new multi storey residential complex in Mascot, near Sydney Airport. 'The Tempo' is a new residential complex in Botany Road, due for completion later this year.  Efflorescence and water problems have caused major headaches in apartment buildings, as the current design trends feature rendered walls, planter boxes, and tiled balconies. Project manager for Casumo Constructions, Joe Metlage, enquired about Efflock late last month. "Like many builders, we've experienced problems with efflorescence in the past, and we are excited that...

  All 3 bases are covered with Efflock

  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.

  Did you know? Efflorescence can be a liable defect.

    Builders and tilers beware.In the past leaching or efflorescence was regarded as a 'maintenance issue' for building owners. However, since 2007 it has been listed as a defect in the national publication: 'Guide to Standards and Tolerances'. At the bottom of page 49 of the guide, is the following clause: "13.08 Calcification and efflorescence associated with decks and balconies   Calcification or efflorescence caused by water coming from a deck or balcony that occurs on walls below or beside the deck or balcony; or that appears in the mortar joints of the deck or balcony tiling, is a defect. Activities of others,...

  Efflorescence on ABC1's Gardening Australia:

    Efflorescence is such a common building defect around Sydney and Australia. Did anyone else see Gardening Australia last night? Above: Check out the efflorescence coming up out of the grout joints from the tile bed on these balconies just next to Costa Georgiadis as he reported from an apartment complex in Redfern, Sydney. There was a fair bit of efflorescence seeping from render as well during the story. Using Efflock is the very best prevention for efflorescence. So simple and very economical.

  Are you trying to install a secondary membrane, but it keeps raining?!!

  Having Efflock in a tile bed means a secondary membrane to control efflorescence is no longer required. However, Efflock is proving very useful to a number of our customers who still prefer to install a secondary membrane on their tiled balconies as another line of defence.  An apartment block in Sydney with efflorescence stains from the top balcony streaming down the facade. The permeable yet hydrophobic effect of a tile screed containing Efflock means that a tile bed can expel moisture from the hydration process, whilst repelling any rain that comes along in the mean time. A screed containing Efflock is...
