One is hardly able to withdraw from the fascination of the burnished and polished lime plaster. The surface looks so elegantly as marble, but it´s a much more livable surface. Different producers offer fine and rougher mixtures which are natural or already inked. The burnished surface ( with Japanese spatula or Venetian trowel ) can additional designed with painted marble imitation or a plastic relief. Mica or bronze pigments as well as different-colored layers on top of each other are decorative variants of this plaster technique.

Tadelakt is a particular Moroccan burnish lime technique. A special lime mixture become applied like fine plaster, treated with soap and compressed with a polishing stone and processed so to gleam. This material is not only used on exterior and interior walls, but also for floors, bathtubs, showers, on tabletops and especially in Hammams. Its good water resistance makes Tadelakt to the ideal wall tile substitute in bathrooms.
