Why use Tadelakt for my bathroom design?
Tadelakt’s natural waterproof properties make it the ideal finishing material for bathrooms, shower rooms and wet rooms. Its distinctive burnished finish gives each application a luxurious look and feel that is adored by interior designers and architects.
Your bathroom is at the heart of your home; a place where you go to relax and unwind. The importance of great design cannot be understated, your bathroom needs as much thought and creativity as your kitchen, bedroom or living room.
Modern luxury bathroom design is all about creating unique spaces with colours, textures and materials that elevate your bathroom. Tadelakt’s unique qualities make it the perfect choice for finishing walls and ceilings, as well as creating shower rooms, wetrooms and basins.
Until recently tadelakt was virtually unheard of in the UK despite a centuries-old tradition of skilled artisans applying the craft in the homes of Morocco’s wealthiest people. Today, tadelakt is still comparatively rare due to the craftsmanship that is required to create the stunning finish that tadelakt is renowned for.
