More on Efflorescence
Editor:
Our company requests permission to reprint Michael Merrigan's article "Efflorescence: Cause and Control" which was published in the September/October issue of Masonry. We believe it is a fine article that will answer many of the questions architects and builders in our area have about efflorescence. We will stock the material in our library, to be distributed when questions about efflorescence arise.
