Tadelakt is one of the lost arts of our generation that has been slowly making its return to the building industry. This product has been researched by Trevor for over a decade and he has always been fascinated by its unique properties and beauty. We are now making a second offering of this system that is updated for the 21st century and can be used for exterior stucco, hood ranges, fireplaces, walls etc. This system is an alternative for wet rooms as well and requires the same care and attention of not using any cleaners but black soap or bronners soap, and a once every 6 months to a year reseal with Stain shield.  

 

The formulation of this Tadelakt Ultra is no longer 100% natural and does contain hidden additives that make the system easier to use, and with updated adhesion, compressive strength and freeze thaw stability. The Tadelakt Ultra is composed of AHL (artificial hydraulic lime), fine marble sand, methylcellulose, polymers and special additives and increased dosages of Pozzolan all in very specific ratios to ensure a strong, workable, easily applied and shiny surface.

1 coat Tadelakt Adhesion coat

2 coats Venetian Italian Plaster Basecoat coarse

3 coats Tadelakt Ultra in same day with polishing

(allow to dry one week)

3 layers stain shield wet on wet and allow to fully dry
