Lime Plaster | Sustainable | Authentic Tadelakt
Project: Installation of Tadelakt style shower area.
Project location; North America’s 1st code approved loadbearing Cob House, The highlands area, Vancouver Island, British columbia.
Description; Tadelakt is an ancient Moroccan style of lime plaster work.The word Tadelakt meaning ‘to caress’ applies to the steady compression of the lime plaster at just the right time using a semi precious stone and a dilute of olive soap. Without going into to much detail, during this process a reaction takes place between the free lime and the diluted soap giving the work a very durable, waterproof finish.This particular project was a full installation from base coats of lime and course sand, to my own special finish coat blend of specific finer aggregates,enabling a higher polished finish.
