PureTadelakt

Home > Netherlands (4056) > The Netherlands (118) > Den Bosch
Tadelakt has long been part of the Moroccan tradition of building and architecture. The technique derives from attempts to waterproof the earthen cisterns in which people stored their drinking water. At some point, it was discovered that a waterproof, marble-like finish could be produced by smearing onto the earthen surface a special kind of lime that is found only in the hills around Marrakesh, and then polishing it with a smooth, half-cut river stone. The problem was solved and a new craft was born.

From its humble beginnings, tadelakt developed into the preferred finish for Marrakesh great hammans (steam baths), riads and palaces. Today, many such places still boast age old tadelakt walls, roofs, fountains and fireplaces, as well as entire bathrooms, hammans, rooms and other living areas. The technique has evolved but the materials and tools remain the same: Marrakesh lime, natural pigments, a wooden board and a river stone.

Like Italian marmorino and other Mediterranean lime plasters, Tadelakt is a lime pressure technique: the lime is applied wet-on-wet and dries naturally in reaction with the air. In the final stages of application, the lime is intensively polished with a stone. It is this polishing combined with the unique properties of Marrakesh lime that gives tadelakt the characteristic look and feel that we know today. The result is a magnificent, waterproof surface that is smooth, lively and very beautiful, a wonderful finish for bathrooms, hammans and other wet areas.

PureTadelakt produces, exports and distibutes this unique lime from Marrakech througout the world.
