Interior lime plaster, Stucco, Tadelakt

Elegant interiors, bath and wet rooms

Interior lime plasters and stuccoes can be used to dress a plain wall plainly or fill rooms and courtyards with shifting light and colour, always keeping a house sound and dry.

Regional variations of the famous tadelakt stuccoes of Maraquesh have been used for centuries in bathhouses and steam rooms. Prized for their colour and opulence and often enhanced with rich tiles and mosaic, these silky wall finishes helped to make public bath houses warm and vibrant centres of their communities.

Coloured and burnished tadelakt allows the passage of vapour while preventing water from penetrating the surface of the walls. This maintains the integrity of period buildings while providing a beautifully versatile design solution in contemporary pool, bath, shower and wet rooms and a merciful absence of grout!
