Tadelakt is a traditional Moroccan wall finish originating in the Marrakesh Region; it is found in the hammams, the Moroccan steam baths, and in the riads of Marrakesh. It has a smooth appearance, slightly shiny like Marmorino Carrara, but thicker and less textured. It is very durable and quite water-resistant, but breathable.
About our Tadelakt…
Stucco Italiano Tadelakt is manufactured in Italy by Giovanni Polistena. Giovanni’s intentions in developing this Moroccan-style Tadelakt were to remain entirely faithful to the look, feel, and chemical makeup of the original Moroccan Tadelakt, while creating a more sophisticated, user-friendly product. Enlisting the help and guidance of Moroccan Tadelakt installers, Giovanni spent many months formulating the perfect blend of natural limes, clays, and sands.
Stucco Italiano Tadelakt is now preferred by many installers of Moroccan Tadelakt for it’s beauty, ease of installation, and ability to resist delaminating/detaching from the surface as Moroccan Tadelakt often does in the hands of anyone but the most expert installers. The results speak for themselves – Stucco Italiano Tadelakt is the equal to Moroccan Tadelakt in it’s look and durability, and superior in ease of application, price, and availability.
