Good Practices
- Avoiding efflorescence and other chemical staining requires controlling the flow of water through the construction by ensuring that water-excluding details are effective during the life of the building.
- Sealing and caulking, appropriate flashing and waterproofing is necessary at the edges of tiling work where the tiles are terminated or connected to other structural component to prevent water ingress.
- The migration of salts may be prevented by coating with a waterproofing agent before the cladding is fixed.
