  Sydney running out of sand - the ocean floor could be next.

  A newspaper article in the Sydney Morning Herald has alerted to an imminent problem, and the answer could be at the bottom of the ocean.  Salt content may be a bigger problem than ever in the sand supply, which is a major contributor towards efflorescence. Fortunately, by coincidence we've pre-empted this problem. Sitting in Boral's materials testing facility is long term testing of concrete samples mixed with water containing twice the salt content of the ocean and Efflock. After 12 months, efflorescence is still not evident, and retains hydrophobic effect.   Check out the newspaper article here.

  North Shore Timber and Hardware now selling Efflock

  North Shore Timber and Hardware is the latest business to offer Efflock to the local building trade. North Shore Timber have six locations and have an excellent reputation throughout Sydney and in Gosford for quality building supplies. As the name suggests, NST are primarily timber merchants but do supply some sand and cement based products. As many small building contractors are from a carpentry background, we see that the partnership with NST will offer great exposure of the Efflock brand to small builders - who will in turn benefit with a dramatic reduction in building defects risks.

  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...

  Rising Damp and Salt Attack - free PDF

  We have recommended this publication on our blog previously: Salt Attack and Rising Damp - A Guide to Salt Damp in Historic and Older Buildings. Salt attack is as destructive to masonry as termites are to timber, and is prone to occur on any building site in Australia due to our soils and extreme weather patterns. As salt is dissolved by water and absorbed by masonry, the water evaporates, leaving behind more and more salt with each wet cycle. Salt crystallises to expand at extraordinary pressure   (> 200MPa) to easily turn stone, bricks and mortar to dust. As outlined...
