  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?? ...

  Efflock now available at Skippens!

  Skippens is a family business and has been supplying bulk building materials to the Eastern Suburbs and greater Sydney for over 85 years. One of the most common questions they get is "how do I clean off efflorescence?".  Unfortunately we don't have a solution for that, other than a cold chisel. However, Efflock will prevent efflorescence in all your future projects! By simply adding Efflock to the water of all your cementitious building materials, you will prevent efflorescence, reduce mould and algae, and prevent water 'wicking' through those materials. Nothing else has to change, you can keep your favourite mixes...
