Tadelakt: The Seamless Plaster That Transforms Bathrooms & Spas

Tadelakt is an ancient Moroccan lime plaster that’s been used for centuries in riads, hammams, and palaces. Today, this luxurious finish brings a modern edge to bathrooms, steam rooms, spas, and wet areas in both residential and commercial spaces.

What Makes Tadelakt Unique?

Unlike typical tile or drywall, Tadelakt is waterproof, seamless, and sculptural. Applied by hand and polished with natural soap, it forms a rich, silky surface that subtly reflects light and adds warmth.
