Tadelakt


Tadelakt is an ancient waterproof plaster that is used extensively in Morocco. It is a lime-based plaster that is polished smooth using stones.  Ancient artisans created beautiful finishes with this product going back to the Roman bathhouse. The finished product can be created in a spectrum of different colors and dries to an extremely hard, durable finish with a smooth silky feel to it. Its waterproof nature allows it to be used in bathrooms,sinks, counter tops and pottery as well as wall applications. This is a new product we will be adding to our portfolio. We’ll keep you posted on this, if you have any interest in seeing samples let us know.  -- Kevin

That looks like a fabulous plaster finish. I love those and we don't see that one much here in the NE US. So nice that you stopped by to comment so we could discover you! Jane
