Over the years the product has taken the name of the process" Moroccan Tadelakt " ....the importance is in the finish...
As Hard as Marble - As Soft as Silk
(WIKI) Traditional Tadelakt is produced in the area of Marrakech.
Tadelakt is a Berber word meaning to rub.
The "Tadelakt process" is the oldest and most prized Moroccan secret. It's unique finish was
used as the coating of the old Turkish Hamas (steam houses), Riads and palaces of Morocco.
The plaster is worked and polished with pure olive soap to add to the shine,
but perhaps even more important, to make sure the surface is left waterproof.

feeling of natural stone .. in your own home.
