The Quality of the Raw Material

One of the secrets to creating a perfect Tadelakt has always been the quality of the raw material. Hydraulic lime is the main element: for Tadelakt to remain authentic and maintain its characteristics unaltered, the lime must strictly come from the stones of Marrakech , where the entire manufacturing process takes place, following the same rigorous manual method for over 500 years. For this reason we have always imported Tadelakt only from the furnaces of Marrakech, so as to be able to provide exclusively material of guaranteed and controlled quality.
