  The advantage of Efflock when building a bathroom

  The image below shows a freshly installed bathroom tile bed using Efflock to repel water absorption and lock efflorescence. Efflock provides a primary water barrier over and above relying on a waterproofing membrane alone, and improves the general health and amenity of a bathroom by reducing humidity. For around $30 per bathroom, it's a cost effective insurance policy for both the builder and client. Efflorescence does occur in bathrooms.
