How to prevent efflorescence in joints, with Borada® Chroma

The use of ceramic tiles in architectural projects, both for residential and civil works, has become increasingly popular due to their durability, aesthetics, versatility and their use both indoors and outdoors. However, the appearance of efflorescence in the joints between these tiles can compromise the integrity and aesthetics of the finish. Fortunately, innovation in building materials has led to the development of products such as Borada® Chroma, designed specifically to address this problem and provide the user with the best possible experience and results.

What are the causes of efflorescence in joints between ceramic tiles?

To begin with, efflorescence is a whitish stain resulting from the migration and subsequent evaporation of water laden with soluble salts.

Possible causes include

• Use of grouts with high salt content.
• Exposure to moisture, whether from the substrate, leaks or excessive cleaning during tile installation.
• Inadequate drying conditions that accelerate the evaporation of the grout water. It is necessary to wait until the tile adhesive has completely dried before grouting can be carried out with guarantees.

The key lies in a combination of proper material selection, correct installation techniques and optimal drying conditions.
