Tadelakt will continue to ‘bloom’ and changing its natural patina and harden over the months, years and even decades… making a natural living, breathing eco-friendly surface. The polishing stone will distribute the lime and olive soap, close the surface, and create the unrivalled patina and shine.Ĭonnecting with the stone, surface and energy is created from this experience. When watching a true Tadelakt Artisan immersed in their craft, you will see the Artisan rubbing the final finish to burnish with a stone, or a plastic trowel, balancing timing, and pressure. The soap, which is based on pure saponified olive oil, adds to the shine, and with the added benefit of making the surface water repellent. The final coat of lime plaster is polished with a stone, rubbing olive soap into the surface. Tadelakt, freely translated means ‘to rub in’.
