    Luxury & Specialty Finishes

    Tadelakt

    Traditional Moroccan waterproof plaster — the ultimate luxury spa bathroom finish.

    Overview

    What We Offer

    Tadelakt is an ancient Moroccan lime plaster technique that creates a completely waterproof, seamless surface — originally used in hammams (bathhouses) and royal palaces. What makes tadelakt unique is its finishing process: the plaster is polished with flat river stones and sealed with olive oil soap, creating a surface that's naturally waterproof without any synthetic sealers. The result is an organic, luminous finish with subtle color variations and a tactile warmth that tile and stone simply cannot match. It's the ultimate choice for luxury bathrooms, showers, and spa environments.

    Our Process

    How We Work

    01

    Substrate Preparation

    Cement board or equivalent waterproof substrate is installed and prepared for tadelakt.

    02

    Lime Preparation

    Premium Marrakech lime is prepared with natural pigments — this must cure before application.

    03

    Application

    Tadelakt plaster is applied in a single thick layer over the prepared substrate.

    04

    Stone Polishing

    While still setting, the surface is compacted and polished with smooth river stones.

    05

    Soap Treatment

    Olive oil black soap is worked into the surface, reacting with the lime to create waterproofing.

    06

    Final Polish

    The surface receives its final burnish, developing the deep, luminous sheen tadelakt is known for.
