What is Tadelakt
Transform your home with the timeless beauty of tadelakt. This traditional Moroccan plaster, made from natural lime, offers a unique and captivating finish that is both decorative and waterproof. The smooth and satin-like surface of tadelakt will add a touch of elegance to any room, making it an ideal choice for high-moisture areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and showers.
Tadelakt has a rich history that dates back to the 11th century, when it was first used to waterproof the royal Berber cisterns. Today, its creation and application are an ancient process taught and passed down by Moroccan craftsmen. The name "tadelakt" itself reflects the traditional method of creation, as it means "to rub in" in Arabic.
Our tadelakt sets itself apart from other versions with its nuanced variations in color and grain, as well as its durability and resistance to micro-cracking or crazing. The traditional style and unparalleled quality of tadelakt make it the perfect choice for anyone looking to bring a touch of North African elegance to their home. Let us help you create a unique and captivating living space that you'll love for years to come.

Best uses
Tadelakt is a traditional Moroccan plaster suitable for interior walls, kitchens, fireplaces, baths, pools, shower cubicles, wet rooms and steam rooms. It can also be used on floors but is not recommended for areas with high foot traffic. The plaster can be colored with natural or synthetic pigments and polished to a shiny finish, creating a unique and exotic look that develops a patina and fine cracks over time. Tadelakt is a stylish alternative to tiles, providing a seamless and water-resistant finish that is resistant to mold. The lime plaster is made waterproof through a chemical reaction with olive oil soap, resulting in a durable, water and scratch-resistant surface.
