TADELAKT

   
the workshop
photos gallery
The Tadelakt, which comes from the Maura civilisation and which is omnipresent in Marrakech, is the twin of Italian stuccos and is considered the pinnacle of lime coatings. It is the only one which can be applied on the ground and which can support a very high dampness rate (hammam, insides of baths, showers, wash-stands…). We can always see grounds in tadelakt which date back to several centuries in the very old Riyad of Marrakech.
The tadelakt, which is also used on facades, comes in a multitude of colours. This wonderful coating has only been developed in the area of Marrakech for a very simple reason: the particularity of the lime brought out of the quarries is unlike any other.
