Lars Hansen wrote a nice post about Tadelakt. Great little summary of the history, look, and feel of one of the most popular wall finishing materials.
Speaking of Lars, if you’re in Colorado this weekend be sure to check out his Handcrafted Finishes booth at the Four Corners Green Living Expo at the Durango fairgrounds (For those of you who live in Telluride, please come down, it is only a two hour drive).
Check out Lars’ personal Stucco Italiano applicator profile…
…and Lars’ website.…
Working on a Tadelakt project and need some inspiration?
Lars of Handcrafted Finishes made a series of videos showing his process applying Tadelakt in a modern home in Denver.
Take a look:
Stucco Italiano is a member of the US Green Building Council. Naturally high in pH, lime finishes act as an anti-bacterial surface, neutralizing the development of organic substances such as mold and fungus.
Non-toxic and green, our lime plasters are ideal for interiors or exteriors. A breathable system, our lime plasters allow water vapor to permeate freely so moisture evaporates quickly, unlike acrylic finishes which can trap moisture inside the wall.
