- In this video, I walk through the process of Tadelakt in my studio bathroom.
The materials I used were from a company called Earthaus Plaster. (earthausplaste...) For a more in depth look at the process from their team: • Earthaus Tadelakt Fini...

Just FIY for those wondering, this is not Tadelakt. Tadelakt is an eco-friendly, extremely labour intensive finishing that is commonly used in Morocco and historically in Europe where natural plaster is polished with a stone. I know, it sounds crazy! I believe what is used here is a "modern" version of Tadelakt, that can be easily bought. Unfortunately not eco-friendly :)
Lots of companies make eco friendly tadelakt from the same minerals they were made of way back when.
Did you talk to him and find that out or is it a guess in your part?
Mostly guess work from this one.....
You need to do a house tour! This looks amazing
Thanks Dario!
Yes house tour house tour please!
Yes! I’ve been searching TH-cam for ages having no idea what these style of bathrooms are called … I was inspired by what I saw in Greece on the islands , this smooth natural finish in interiors and particularly bathrooms. My own bathroom that came with the apartment I bought is an awful IKEA tile thing that I want to self renovate and your video has just given me the first glimmer of hope that it is possible. I have a lot to learn … I’ve got as far as ‘how to remove tiles’ but I need to also demolish part of an internal wall and get everything ready for this Greek rendering style. I’ll subscribe and look at the rest of your vids. Thanks !
Did you do it? Any pics or advice?
yes i was inspired in Santorini island in Greece as well lol forgot what they are called. Share pics and ideas, I am tying to do this in toronto so not sure how it will withstand the cold temps?
The name Tadelakt refers to the traditional, moroccan application technique of a specific lime mortar.
I am wondering if it is the same technique used in Greece ?
The most common issue people have with this shower system is mold in corners or areas that constantly have standing water. Please keep us updated, and let us know if any issue arise. Great job, and Thanks!
Thanks. So no coners it is
1) Tile floor first (slope appropriately)
2) Some companies are suggesting a reveal between vertical and floor (capillary break) sealed with bathroom caulk
3) Lime-based plaster as opposed to gypsum or other
4) properly seal finish and reapplication every few months (no harsh bathroom cleaners)
I live in a moldy place and tiles get moldy too
you can actually mix anti mold in tadelakt if you want
Thanks .
Thank you so much for the video. I have been trying to explain to my husband what Tadelakt is without knowing the correct terms. I experienced outdoor showers made this way in Tanzania and absolutely loved it. With the help of your video I will be able to redo our bathroom! Again thank you
We just did our shower like this!!! It’s sooo beautiful! We loved the dark so much we didn’t mix as much the last layer and kept it darker - it’s such a vibe! It was way more work than my hubby wanted but it’s finally done! Very labor intensive ❤Thank you for the inspiration Mr. Washington. We had a rock shower planned and as it sit in piles and we have a 2story , to go back and forth cutting and placing quickly became too big - this was the next choice 😅
let us know how much mold is building up?
would you please share where to buy tadelakt powder?
Thank you for sharing this extremely time-consuming process. I have learned a lot through your videos. I would love to know how you rounded your corners and edges such as around the pony wall. Love the softness it creates. I would also love to get an update on how it withstands against mold!! Looking forward to more videos from you.
Excellent demo, many thanks!
My these construction workers are getting younger and younger these days! And the diversity of the team is astounding. Cross species too. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha. It's all over the place!
Bro-ur my hero!
I spent lots if time in morocco and have been trying to figure out how to get those textures…thanks somuch for sharing your know how!!!
Thanks Marlon!
I'm happy to have found you here, I'm starting my Tadelakt project in Brazil. I was very inspired by you! Thank you very much!
To na mesma, camarada! 😅 Alguma dica que você poderia me passar ou ainda não executou?
@@andreipasquarelli143 você é de onde?
I'm really enjoying the information and quality of your videos. As someone who is planning a home build right now and plan to get down and dirty with natural finishes, I'd love to see what else you've been up to. Thanks for putting all the work you do into these videos, it's much appreciated.
Thanks Ellie! I'll try and get a few more videos out to share the process
I saw a photo on pinterest and was in love and just like u i went searching and in my search a friend told me he use lime wash on his walls and it looked similar but something was missing and then i FOUND YOU 😂 and boom i know exactly what to do next (not really) but ill continue watching your videos and whenever i am ready i hope to make MINIMAL mistakes. Thank you for being the hero that u are. 🎉
I would love a bathroom like this. Looks and feels grounding, relaxing, and soothing. I wonder what the results would be if distilled water was used instead of tap.
Bro! I'm from Mexico here I will need to make my own mix with lime, but it's a nice video. Thanks 👍
I'm jealous! Have fun
I used Ca(OH)2 (powder) + fine sand + water for all walls/ceiling in my house close to the sea. No mold enymore. The easiest and cheapest way to plaster.
This was so gorgeous!! Happy to have found your video and will be following along!
This looks really beautiful although it’s not real tadelakt. It’s lime plaster that is waterproofed with olive oil soap…. Real tadelakt is limeplaster, that is densified by hand with a very small smooth stone - square inch by square inch so that in the end it looks like it has been glazed and has a real shine. The real tadelakt is very hard because of the density, almost like real solid stone.
This was SUPER helpful. I think that I have found what my guest bath will be! I was wondering will you cover what you did for the ceiling in the shower and the floor?
Awesome! For the ceiling, I used Lime Plaster and for the floor I used Microcement. I'll be making a video to show how I did both of those as well
Great presentation. Your delivery is well paced and straight forward.
STUNNING. Absolutely stunning.
Nice, we can’t get this kind of thing in my area or most others in the US. I want it so I’ll learn. I’m ok with the labor and multiple coats. It’s my house. I’m going to work on it constantly anyway. It’s similar to smoothed interior plaster and that’s surprisingly easy to learn.
What a great tutorial & beautiful space. Great job! Thank you
Came out incredible! Can’t wait for the next video
Great video, inspiring as this is my ideal bathroom aesthetic, along with Cycladic/Mykonos villa-style interiors. Without looking at the Limestrong literature, I would have expected some hard-trowelling of the final coat when it was almost dry to help smooth and compact the finished surface.
beautiful and inspiring. Makes me feel like I can do this too. Thanks!
The arabic word for tadalakt is تدلاكت it is originated from morocco. You can find a lot of videos on TH-cam how to apply the tadlakt technique.
Then word is arabic but it's structucre is Amazigh
Like تمغربيت، تگزارت...تبنايت....
Stunning result, amazing work and excellent explanation. Thank you so much ❤
I saw and used bathrooms in Riads in Marrakech with this finish and absolutely love it. Unfortunately I couldn’t find someone local to do it and I’m definitely not a DIY guy. Congratulations on doing this.
I really appreciate your videos. In the near future I will be building a cottage with traditional materials (slip-straw, strawbale, cob, earthen and lime plasters, etc.), but for now I'm learning how to retro-fit parts of our main house with natural materials/processes like tadelakt. Thanks for sharing your experience and insights, and for great production value. One request: please raise the volume of your voice and reduce (or eliminate) the music. I would enjoy hearing the sounds of troweling, mixing, etc., and just the general ambiance. All the best to you, and congrats on building a solid channel.
Hey, it look amazing. We are doing this also but we use tales glue. You have the same result and much cheaper. First waterproofing the support then 2 layers of white tales glue and then vernis. We use it in bathroom and even in shower.
I’ve been looking for this process after seeing similar in Mexico.. Thank You for these videos.. Awesome job!!
dont you have to presure the surface with a stone? I learnt that tardelak needs presure on every layer. Also after the oil you have to presure it again otherwise you lose the funktion after some time. Or do you use some advanced material with extra ad ons?
Great video, with great step by step instructions. Thanks for making and sharing!
Love everything about this project, thank you for sharing, hi from New Zealand
nice work man. im looking to do this for a wet room shower with a roman tub. getting excited seeing other people succeed.
Looks great! Come do my house please....
But seriously great job, your videos are so handy for my reno
Haha. Thanks Louisa!
Nicely done! Curious to see how things hold up over time.
Gorgeous project!
Thank you!
With Tadelakt it's not about number of coats, the soap should be applied until it doesn't absorb anymore, it's not waterproof otherwise. This could take two coats it could take four or five but the number doesn't matter it only depends if it absorbs or not, tamping down everywhere with a little flat hand press helps too,
It’s nice work ..
1) What products do you use to keep the bathroom or walls clean ?
2) Can Microcement be used in bathroom instead of lime ?
Looks stunning!!! Does it get slippery in the shower area? Would elderly be more prone to slips & falls?
This is fantastic! Love how it turned out.
Awesome!!! So much patience
Beautiful, but your real masterpiece is that stunning baby. ❤️
Gorgeous!! My dream bathroom!!
A year on how is this holding up?? I’m desperate to try this on my new bathroom but people have told me it takes a lot of upkeep and I should be worried of kids finger marks 🤷♂️. Just wondering if you would do anything different and if you’re experiencing any issues. I was considering a shadow gap at the bottom of the wall to remove any chance of the tadelakt being exposed to standing water.
This is such a helpful video- thank you!!
Although it looks very nice, I've seen in Marocco the genuine process and it becomes much more complex: after the third or fourth layer they do a stone polishing (very dense and polished stones); after three weeks they aplly a sort of bee wax to the walls, which become water proof. It's amazing, believe me.
Thank you very much for sharing; I really love it.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.🎉
Can’t love this enough! Amazing! Thanks for sharing
Amazing results, I’m very curious to see how you matched the rest of the bathroom with limewash. 👌
I just uploaded that video :)
This video is gold
I love this so much, your hard work paid off!
Thanks man, appreciate seeing this process! Looks so good!
Good morning sir. I congratulate you for your great work😍, I recently discovered this type of surface covering, did you know that it comes from Morocco?
Ahhh so it’s not Greek? I have been to Morocco as well and I LOVE your interior design styles. So utterly gorgeous.
This was super helpful and right on time. My husband and I are doing a tadelakt shower in our eco-friendly home. I saw you have a similar kitchen base cabinet and counter setup tpo what we want to do as well. Could you do a similar video on your process and products used please?
Hi Moonie! The next video I release will be the process of the kitchenette :)
@@MtWashingtonWeekendProject would love to see the kitchenette video too please, i see its not uploaded yet
Awesome video ! Thank you so much !
Beautiful!
Absolutamente perfecto!!!!
Amazing I am always so inspired by your videos!! You mention in the beginning you had the hardie backer board floated, what does that mean? Also, did you prep the board with anything before you put the layer of elasto?
Thank you so much!! I am definitely going to attempt this for my new bathroom install! You’re a godsend!!!!
Thanks Jay kay :) Floating it just means that you've taped the joints (where the boards meet) and covered the tape with joint compound. And I just put the elasto straight onto the backer board. Good luck with the project!
We highly recommend using mesh tape and thinset to tape the joints. Please see the Limestrong tadelakt prep video for detailed information. th-cam.com/video/Ky0IOK6zHl8/w-d-xo.html
So awesome!! Thank you for your reply!!
Amazing work! Can you share how long it took you? 🤞🏻 hours or days maybe- I know it’s hard with a little one 😅 I’ll be doing this for other folks and the time estimates seem to be all over since it’s a niche art form 💪🏻 TIA
Great job 👏🏻
Very informative, results are beautiful. But why do you indicate the amount of liquid to add to 5 GALLONS of mixture in LITERS? 🙂
Geez that s about 9 different coatings for one little piece of wall, exhausting as you said. I bet with half the result would be the same. 😊
No - it is even more work if you do it right.
Have a video on how you did the wall between the 3/4th wall height
We just switched our entire shower project. Thanks to this amazing video!!!! So extra!!!! Thank you. Hey when you did your kitchen what material was under neith your counters and sink?
beautiful
😮Wow.thanks for sharing! Is it as waterproofed as tiles?
ohhhhhhhhh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!! wonderfull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job! The shower came out beautiful. In my research into this shower technique, I would like to know what you used on the shower floor? Some videos say to tile the floor to stop future water seepage. Also, what did this shower project cost?
I really LOVED the video. Unfortunately, I don't know why it doesn't open the link for the tools that you used. If possible, can you write in detail, what exactly are the tools brands that you used, and from which store?
Stunning
Beautiful 🧡
I’m a tile installer and I was curious if you could answer a few questions about this stuff. The work looks great but I’m curious how often you reseal it with the soap to uphold the waterproofing of the final coat? When I’m installing natural stone the sealer I use says it last about a year but I often see it stop working much sooner. Also, how easy is it clean? I would imagine it is quite porous. Does it get harder to clean as the soap sealer wears off or does the soap sealer give it a smoother texture allowing it to be wiped off like a semi gloss paint would?
It’s amazing
Love this! I’m doing the same now. Can we use this sane technique over GoBoard instead of hardie?
Thank you so much for these beautiful and useful videos! So inspiring! I was hoping you can answer something for me: how do you create the shower divider? Is it just stacks of Hardiebacker board stuck together and then someone attached to the floor? Thanks!
Hi Linear. Thank you :) It's called a Pony wall, and it is framed like a normal wall with 2x4's. It's best to have a contractor or builder make sure it is secure to the floor and adjacent wall.
This amazing in all means can you advise if putting a Durock will be more safe!
Looks amazing!!!
looks nice, thanks
Do you have a video of the kitchen? We are about to renovate our kitchen and would love to learn how you did yours. It looks beautiful!
Not yet! I have one more bathroom video I'm going to release on the walls and floor, and then I'll do the kitchenette :)
Wouah, je tombe par hasard sur votre vidéo, car je viens de rentrer du Maroc, où ils utilisent beaucoup le Tadelakt dans les salles de bain en autres, et j'avoue que votre résultat est super. 2 ans après, le résultat est il identique, pas de problème d'humidité ou moisissure? Merci de votre retour.
Beautiful
This is amazing. But this is definitely expert level DIY. I'm not capable of pulling this off myself.
Just blind confidence. Haha
Hello Sir, many thanks for the video. I love it and the colour as well. I even purchased the same pigments for my future tadelakt project! I was wondering if you can give a recommendation on how to caulk the transition to ground tiles. Is this before or after soaping? And do you recommend first tiling or applying tadelakt on the walls. I hope you can give advice as I know you didn't use tiles. Thanks in advance.
Hi... The results came very good.. But the real issue here I feel is how to clean the wall (water and soap mark which gets deposits after long use)..is it cleanable like the tile wall..
This is great. How have you found that it held up? I have a tadelakt fireplace and I don't think they soap coated it because we had a leak during heavy rains and it left calcium deposits. I had a tiny amount of material and I'm trying to fix it and it's a not easy.
hellooooo please where and what is the name of the limewash color you used is perfectoooo!!!
You stated that you used Hardibacker in the shower, but it looks like you used both green board and purple board that Limestrong does not recommend and is not TCNA approved for use in a shower.
Awesome man
Great video! We are considering doing this in our bathroom and this has been very informative
I am curious if you had any cracks in the shower. I am considering this for our straw bale house, but worries that with expansion and contraction of wooden frame we will get cracks, as we did in the exterior plaster. Let us know if your can, thank for the beautiful video!
Have you in the end done the ceiling? In the end, it looks like the same color as for the walls
What difference does this product have from the microcement you used on your flooring in previous video?
Thank you so much for the video! My wife and I want to do this. Can you explain what you did with the floor. Did the elastic shield go on there?
what i dont understand is what can you apply this to, as in, what is the wall supposed to be made of? can it be put on wood base, cement, sheetrock, etc
This is perfection! One question though, what happens when your house settles and it begins to crack? What is the long-term maintenance?
So far no cracking... The scratch coat and two base coats should hold the Tadelakt together and prevent cracking...
Appreciated for the video.
@MtWashingtonWeekendProject Does this require ongoing maintenance? Is it necessary to reapply the soap or wax at aome point? Thank you
