Tadelakt is designed for use in wet areas like showers, tub surrounds, and backsplashes. It can also be used for decorative dry area applications, and outdoors.
Color Atelier Tadelakt has a seamless, smooth and slightly shiny appearance with subtle movements, and a luxurious feel. The product requires the addition of clean water only for mixing. It will provide an excellent bond to any properly prepared porous substrate, interior or exterior.
A unique blend of slaked aged lime, marble dust, fine marble aggregate, clay and other materials to create a beautiful finish that is water-resistant and durable. The mineral pigments are pre-blended into the formula; just add water for mixing. The product can also be custom tinted with dry mineral pigments or colorants.
Naturally resistant to mold, mildew, and fungus. Tadelakt not only offers a beautiful finish, but it also helps to provide a healthy living environment.
Tadelakt in wet areas requires a certain level of expertise, and knowledge, contact us for further information.
