What is Tadelakt?

Tadelakt has its origins in the traditional architecture of North Africa, which is characterised by building materials such as clay and lime. Everyone is familiar with Morocco’s steam baths, the hammams, whose soft curves and matt-gloss surfaces enchant European visitors, transporting them into the fairy-tale world of *One Thousand and One Nights*. For generations, lime has been quarried near Marrakesh and processed into plasters by the Berbers. These lime plasters are coloured with earth pigments, polished with stones and made waterproof with soap. Depending on the desired effect, a wide variety of shades can be achieved using numerous earth and iron oxide colours. Click here to buy colour pigments.
