Tadelakt is a lime-based plaster that is polished to a high sheen, creating a smooth, seamless surface that is both waterproof and durable. The lime in Tadelakt reacts with the carbon dioxide in the air, creating a natural, breathable finish that is also antibacterial and mildew-resistant. Tadelakt is available in a range of colours and can be applied in a variety of textures, making it a versatile choice for any space.
Tadelakt is free from harsh or toxic chemicals and has the added benefit of absorbing CO2, making it an environmentally friendly material.
Tadelakt is ideal for bathrooms, kitchens or any wet areas. Tadelakt is best known for its use in wet areas such as bathrooms, showers, and kitchen backsplashes, where its waterproof properties stand out. However, it can also be used in other interior applications such as feature walls, fireplace surrounds, and even furniture.
The term "Tadelakt" is derived from Arabic, meaning "to rub in" or "to knead." This term refers to the traditional Moroccan technique of applying lime plaster and polishing it with a stone or agate to achieve its smooth finish.
Tadelakt requires regular maintenance to preserve its waterproof properties and appearance. This often involves periodic resealing with a special soap or wax to maintain its water resistance and sheen. We also advise against harsh cleaning agents and abrasive materials to help prolong its lifespan.
Tadelakt offers many advantages over traditional waterproofing methods such as tiles. It provides a seamless, joint-free surface that is both visually striking and easy to clean. Additionally, its natural composition makes it environmentally friendly and breathable, reducing the risk of mould and moisture buildup.
