Efflorescence is a naturally occurring process in all concrete products which may appear in the form of a white powdery film on the unit’s surface. Efflorescence may be more perceivable in darker colors. It does not, in any way, compromise the functionality or the structural integrity of the product or your installation. Although efflorescence cannot be prevented, it will wash off over time or it can be cleaned with an industry cleaner.
