Moroccan Tadelakt Plaster
Ancient Beauty. Modern Luxury. Eternal Durability.
Few finishes in the world carry the soul, elegance, and legacy of Moroccan Tadelakt. Born in the ancient city of Marrakech and perfected over a thousand years ago, Tadelakt was once used to line the palace walls, hammams, and riads of Morocco’s elite. Today, it’s one of the most sought-after surface finishes in modern luxury design—and no one brings it to life like LimeWash Pros LLC.
We specialize in authentic, hand-applied Tadelakt plaster—crafted and installed using the same traditional methods developed centuries ago. Our product is 100% natural, made from high-calcium lime, marble powder, and fine mineral aggregates—free of synthetic additives and created in-house to guarantee purity, performance, and authenticity.
Each batch is custom-tinted by hand using raw earth pigments, producing velvety, monolithic surfaces with subtle movement, tonal depth, and organic warmth. No two finishes are ever alike—every wall is a living, breathing, one-of-a-kind work of art.
The Application Process
Our skilled artisans apply Tadelakt through multiple hand-troweled coats, compressing the plaster into the surface with precision and care. Each layer is meticulously shaped and smoothed to create a continuous stone-like finish with gentle curves and elegant transitions.
Once dry, the surface is polished using traditional agate stones, which not only compress the lime into a tighter, water-resistant mass—but also bring out its natural luminosity and sheen.
The Sealing Ritual: Black Soap
The final step is what makes Tadelakt legendary—its sealing ritual. We produce our own homemade, organic black soap, crafted in small batches using cold-pressed olive oil, infused with natural essential oils and cured for weeks. This black soap is gently massaged into the surface, reacting with the lime to form an insoluble, waterproof barrier that strengthens and protects the finish for years to come.
Modern Luxury Applications
While rooted in tradition, Tadelakt is a favorite in modern high-end design for its seamless, sculptural beauty and natural resistance to moisture. It’s ideal for:
-
Walk-in showers & wet rooms
-
Bathtubs & vanity surrounds
-
Kitchens & backsplashes
-
Outdoor kitchens & fireplaces
-
Saunas & spa rooms
-
Accent walls, niches, and fireplaces
The result is a finish that feels like smooth, polished stone—breathable, anti-microbial, and designed to last a lifetime.
