There is a new plaster on the block named "Marrakesh" applied by artisans using
the "Tadelakt " process... of application. Once applied the lime plaster is careful
compressed and rubbed with steel, wooden and plastic trowels before polishing
with a stone and olive soap. Over the years the product has taken the name
of the process" Maroccan Tadelakt " ... the importance is in the finish...
As Hard as Marble - as soft as silk
(WIKI) Traditional tadelakt is produced with the lime of the area of Marrakech.
Tadelakt is a Berber word meaning to rub.
"Tadelakt applied " lime plaster is the oldest and most prized Moroccan process
in the world. It is unique and was used as the coating of the old Turkish Hamas
(steam houses) Riads and palaces of Morocco. The plaster is worked and polished
with pure olive soap to add to the shine, but perhaps even more important, it makes
sure the surface is left waterproof.Making it ideal for bathrooms.
