the process...
mineral primer
apply water based primer containing mineral aggregate applied over Level 3+ drywall for enhanced adhesion and texture.
basecoat
trowel on heritage basecoat with a coarse texture to even out irregularities and create a uniform, bond-ready wall.
finish coats
custom pigmented plaster in the blend of choice, applied in multiple hand troweled layers and burnished to achieve the desired texture and sheen.
olive oil soap
a coat of handmade olive oil soap naturally seals and protects the plaster surface while enhancing depth and character.
beeswax
the optional addition of breathable Punic wax increases surface durability while adding a polished protective finish.
buff
when desired, the final step of buffing adds a refined, high-luster finish.
Natural lime-based finishes for every surface
Tadelakt
Originating in Morocco, Tadelakt is an ancient waterproof plaster traditionally used in royal palaces and wells. This luxurious lime-based finish is hand-polished with river stones to create a seamless, marble-like surface. It is the perfect natural choice for homeowners seeking a sophisticated and durable organic aesthetic.
scratch coat
After the waterproofing process of the substrate, we apply a traditional scratch coat that evens out the surface and creates a strong, textured layer for the two basecoats to bond to.
olive oil soap
After multiple layers of Tadelakt are applied, we brush on a natural olive oil soap during the curing stage. This creates a gentle chemical reaction within the lime that forms a waterproof seal.
polish
Using the olive oil soap, we polish the surface with a smooth river stone, tightening and refining the Tadelakt. In the final stage, we apply a natural wax that deepens the sheen and adds an extra layer of protection.
